Your first car.

Recommended Posts

List your first car and everything that you remember about it. Good or bad.

 

My first car.

1985 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham. 305 V8. 230,000 miles.

Brown with a lighter brown roof.

 

 

I jumped my first car.

I raced it.

I ran into other cars with it. (Both on purpose and accidentally. Mostly on purpose.)

I ran over a mini fridge with it.

I jumped it again.

I took it into swamps and mud holes.

I drove it naked a few times.

Drove it to countless parties.

I slept off several cases of beer in it.

I threw up in it once.

I made sweet snu snu in it. ( This means I did the nasty in it with a girl )

I hit a sign with it.

I drove a friend to the hospital in it.

I drove home someone who got drunk and passed out in a porta potty in it. (He threw up in his underwear :/ )

Took the muffler of it for a few months.

Snow and ice drifted for miles.

Rally raced it against myself.

Put it in the ditch a lot.

I let friends drive it like they stole it.

I drove it to get beer on my 16th birthday.

I let a friend crash it with me in it.

I got pulled over in it. ( 6 times )

I got one ticket in it.

It took me to school everyday.

Drove it in the lake a bit.

Knocked over trees with it.

Learned that J turns can peel all the tread of a tire.

I kicked a dent in it.

I cleaned shaving cream of it.

I used to rock out in it.

Probably every person in my class road in it at some point. All 42 of them minus the stinky kids.

Had 4 friends in the trunk and 6 up front with me, don't ask...

I learned that rocks can make holes radiators.

I learned to fix a radiator with a leatherman while fluid was spewing out.

I learned that sometimes taking it slow is more fun.

I got lots of looks, mostly followed by rolling eyes but it turns on the ladies. I just know it.

I learned that not everyone knows how to not spill liquids.

Shot a pop can off of it.

Shot it trying to shoot a second pop can of of it.

I am pretty sure someone else had s3x in it one night at a party :/

 

 

I love it in the worst way.

It still runs and I still own it. I just don't drive it anymore.

I wish I could afford to drive it still.

1992 Chevy S-10 extended cab

V6 4.3 liter

 

It leaked antifreeze so I changed everything, water pump, hoses, radiator, heater core, everything that had to do with cooling and it still leaked.

I liked that truck. I wish I still had it.

I'm a bit younger than most of you. i still own / drive my first car

 

'97 Hyundai Excel 3 door Hatch

 

Got a speeding ticket doing 89kmh in a 80 zone (was running massively late for work)

Smashed the drivers mirror off backing out the garage

Scratched the passenger side on my brick letterbox

Dented the passenger side door on a parking pole

Took 4 friends to the beach. They mocked it because of how long it was taking to get up to speed. Poor little 1.5L engine has next to no power.

Ran up the back of another car

Made-out in it

Washed it once in a total of 3 years of owning it :lol:

 

Clearly treated it like poop but its still not dead yet :)

My very 1st car was a 1974 Purple AMC Gremlin.

 

Of which I never got legal but drove it all over anyhow. found out that the 3-speed manual tranny would infact go into reverse at 55mph in 3rd gear...boy that was fun. friend was doing a nice Posi-burnie and hit a mail box and dropped the drive shaft out...bard part it was the neighbors house. we had to fix both....

 

Next car was a 1975 Chevy Monza 4cyl turned into a V6 also never legal.

 

1st legal car? my Dad gave me his 1957 Chevy Bel-Air 4dr. I put a new engine in it in 1988 and I street raced it a bit and cruised alot. still have the engine and the bel-air...although the engine has been in many other cars since....car hasnt moved in over 15 years....

1990 Chevy Lumina Coupe

 

I got rid of it ~2 years ago and still miss it. It was a big, heavy, comfortable TANK. I had at least 200 pounds of soundproofing and sound deadening material in it to keep my stereo noise inside the car and to keep it quiet. You literally could not hear a thing going on outside with the windows up. I completely redid the electrical system to support my bigass stereo (2 gauge household wiring...had to cut it with a hack saw :lol:). The 3.1L V6 had enough grunt to be somewhat fun to drive and still got ~34 MPG highway with the mods I'd done to it. Sure, it was an ugly beast but I loved it. :lol:

 

Here's a shot of it shortly after I painted it flat black. You could not see it at night - it just sucked in all the light. :D

You call that a tank? I had a primer black 76 Monte Carlo =P Most of the same list in the first post applies to mine too. Abused the hell out of it. Scapped it about a year ago though since it was just sitting at my parents house with a bad tranny. Pulled the 350 and scrapped the rest.
