What was your first car?

Question

Mine was a '69 Cougar.

Answer 1

ford galaxy 500 convertible....lmao...it was a beast! They thought it was safer to have all that metal around you....haha

Answer 2

1966 Volkswagen! It was beige. Paid $300 for it in the summer of 1976 when I was barely 16. It actually made it thru the Winter 76/77. The battery was under the back seat. And when it got stuck in the snow, we just pushed it out and went on. If it wouldn't start, we could pop the clutch and whoever was pushing had to jump in real fast. Once drove it up I-75 from Lexington to Cincinnati to see Aerosmith. We couldn't get it to go over 56 mph!! But we made it there and back. I sold it for $200 the next summer and the dude converted it into a chopper. I got to ride it around this dude's yard the following summer. I recently met, by chance, my girlfriend from the summer of 1978, and it turns out her ex-husband was the brother of the dude I sold it to.........Shewwwww, these first cars do make for good stories, huh? Thanks for asking, my friend.

Answer 3

my 1st car, a 1964 dodge dart, bought it from my gramma, dont remember how much $, tho. my 1st transportation? an old honda cl175, freeway legal, but would not keep up with even the slowest cars! 1 month later, bought a 1977 suzuki GS400, for $900.00, and baby, that bike was FAAAAST! LOVED having motorcycles! THEN i bought the dodge dart, mainly cuz i got tired of having to stop under a bridge, when it was raining, at 2:30am and sitting there, freezing cold, for a couple of hours, waiting for a break in the rain!!! did that WAY too many times!

Answer 4

Ok, here I go... dating myself again. lol

1964 Mercury Comet. The "m" was missing from the name on one side, so it said "Coet". It had a rusted-out hole in the floorboard, under the rubber mat someone had put over it. It was about the size of a 50-cent piece. V8 engine, with one spark plug wire that would work loose every now and then, and the engine would start missing. I'd have to stop, get out, and stick it back on the plug. lol I was 17 years old, and graduating from high school. It was my graduation present. I loved it, never expected it, and was sooooo thrilled! Oh, and it was white.

It also had a standard transmission, which I didn't know how to drive back then, and my brother in law was the one who finally was able to teach me how to drive it. Bless his heart... what patience! lol

It was not only my transportation; it was like my little haven away from the world... drive it down to the beach and watch those cutie Coast Guard guys with my girlfriends.

Thanks for reminding me. :) Good memories in that car.

Answer 5

1937 Studebaker
Some friends visited my next door neighbor and it broke down. It sat in their driveway for months and I bought it for 10 bucks. All it needed was a radiator and a new battery.
This was in 1966 or 67.
Great gangster car LOL!

Answer 6

'66 Goat. But my second car was much faster, '70 Olds 442

My 442 w/a 3:23 gear w/o limited slip through the mufflers ran 13:24@101 mph in the 1/4mi and the car wasn't a W-30.

I ran the car Warner Robins Dragway,GA, Gainsville, FL (Home of the Gator Nationals) and Commerce, GA (Home of the Southern Nationals)

Answer 7

69 Z28 Camaro

Answer 8

1967 Pontiac Tempest

Answer 9

1971 Dodge Coronet in mint condition. My parents bought it for me for a graduation present in 1984 from an ole granny for $100. It was her husband's car, and he had died only a few years after they had the car and it had been stored in a garage ever since until we got it. Great car. Too bad it was stolen. Never got it back. :-(

Answer 10

Mine was a horrible Dodge Swinger...1972 model...I had to use a comb to keep the carburetor flap open in order to start it...I was the only one I knew who could start their car with a comb..and I had the dang fool thing for 6 years...that was a lot of combs (ha !)

Answer 11

2003 Yellow Ford Mustang. I totalled it less than a year later.

The car I have now was my dad's '85 BMW which is a real POS but at least I can't drive recklessly and I learned my lesson about fast cars.
