Off Topic, but involves lots of Nickels!!!!

Hi all,
I had to bragg a little bit... This is my first car and I'm very proud of it!
I was able to purchase her by selling boxes of the New nickels (2004-2006), would you believe that?
I bought it back in April, but are now getting to drive it around everywhere. It has been in the shop, etc. off and on through out the last few months. It's not a perfect or near perfect car, but I didn't what one I could only look at! image I wanted one I could drive every day! image I hope to have this car until I'm 99 years old, If I live that long!image
Thanks for letting brag! image

What are some of you stories of your first car?

    Congrats on a bit¢hen first car!

    My first car was a 4 door 1970 Ford LTD with a 351ci V8. It was puke green with a white vinyl top. Puke green bench seats front and back with a matching pillow for the back seat. I loved that car so much image

    I once hit a tree head on with the LTD. It dented the front of the car slightly. The tree completely fell over. image


    Here is a 1970 4 door Ford LTD to show what mine looked like. The car in the photo was not my exact car, it's just an example.

    Nothing like a Mopar and a Charger at that.

    I had a 1978 Toyota Corolla. Maroon, with a four speed standard. The car was butt ugly and I LOVED it until 8 weeks later when I totaled it.

    Ahhhh the memories! image

    Very nice looking ride. Congrats on the purchase.
  • Chargers are sweet looking cars but a bit@h to keep fed these days. How about a couple of pic's from different angles? maybe put a nickel on the bumper to keep it coin related.image

    BTW SWEET ride.image

    I drive an old car every day...

    ...it makes every trip an adventure!

    LUCKILY my six month old seems to enjoy the adventure - no matter how hot it gets (no AC in the Porsche) she still seems to prefer it to the Honda Element.

    And to keep this on topic, I have 'United States Mint / Treasury Department' transfer decal in the rear quarter-window.
