Answer 1

omg, my first car was when I was 17, im 25 now. it was a 1984
plymouth reliant K-car. I got it for 300 bucks. those things actually have a wierd cult following....i can't see why, that car sucked out loud, it always ran hot and loud, it was a boat to park, ive left the keys in the ignition at a buger king, hoping someone would steal that P.O.S and someone came in and brought me the friggen keys. That car over heated like it was it's job, I remember one time, i was driving it with friends to NYC and as soon as we hit the state border, the car starting having epileptic seizures.....a car dieing on the jackie robison xpressway is not safe or fun......another time the POS over heated on the way to a hosptial to visit a friend.....we had to stop at EVERY gas station along the way to put water in the radaitor. lol as much as it sucked, another time someone spilled jack daniels in the backseat and the upolstry smelled like burnt @ss for a month.It also had a dorky row/bench seat up front so people would pack my car, 6-7 deep at all times. One time I drove it over a main access cememnt divider, that woulda killed the chasse to any other car. Another time a volks wagon slammed into me and his car crumpled like a tin can, mine had on lil red scratch mark.
ugh.I beat the crap outta that car finally killing it at 187k miles on it. some dumb@ss bought it off of me for 250 bucks. i do sometimes miss thatc ar though, funny memories.

Answer 2

A 1964 Plymouth Fury that I got in the summer of '82, when I turned 16. The Fury belonged to my grandparents and my grandmother quit driving in '78. It had been passed down through two of my cousins before I got it. Under the hood it had a 383 big block with a push-button 383 Torqueflite transmission.

It looked like an old-lady's car, so I added a set of mag-wheels, Hi-Jacker air shocks in back and dual-exhaust with turbo-mufflers. Originally the Fury was all brown, but my grandfather repainted the top white. Like every other 60's Mopar, it was riddled with body-cancer (rust). I fabricated and welded in new 1/4-panels, applied bondo and painted the car jet-black in auto-shop.

I rebuilt the engine with a Direct-Connection "purple" camshaft, Edelbrock aluminum intake, Carter AFB carburetor and Hooker headers. The transmission got rebuilt with a B&M shift kit and Hurst floor shifter to get rid of those stupid push-buttons. I also added a Sun tachometer and a stereo.

In November of '83 a drunk driver pulled out in front of me. The insurance company totaled the car as the damage exceeded replacement value. I took the money and bought a Barracuda, which I still own today.

Bought it from a relative of t'other half.

And very nice it is too - hoardes of miles per gallon, easy to drive, comfortable to sit in ... slowly adding mods, an ammeter and voltmeter, reverse gear repeater light (cos it doesn't always engage), remote control for the radio, better aerial, more as I get round to it.
