begsu1013 · September 9, 2014 4:58AM

lil off topic, but was ringing in on the childhood nostalgia / 84 donruss thread and just to gather a lil more info (and yes laughs) about other board members, I gotta ask....

what was your 1st car?

MULLINS5 · September 9, 2014 5:02AM

1986 Buick Skylark, followed by 1990 Mazda Miata, followed by 1993 Hennessey Venom Viper. Now I have a 2011 Subaru Forester to protect the baby

1966 Mustang; the 289 in that thing was dangerous for a 16 year old. Loved that car!

1967 Ford LTD. My brother and I each paid $12.50 for the car. Yep. $25.00 got us a blue, tan, black (and several other colors) Ford LTD held together by rust. The radio was ok until I hit a pothole which must have knocked together two loose wires and boy that system sounded great.........until I hit another pothole.

1953 Chevy. Paid $25 for it. Sold it for $15.

Dpeck100 · September 9, 2014 5:24AM

1985 Cutlass Supreme. T Tops. American Racing Rims. Burgundy with a faded hood. $1,300 purchase price with more spent on repairs.

Best feature were the reclining seats!

Griffins · September 9, 2014 5:26AM

'72 Pinto. Still the most reliable car I ever had, I could get 4 people in the car with surfboards on top and still do 80 down the freeway. If my brother hadn't totaled it at 120k miles it'd probably still be running.

My first car was a 1981 Accord 4 door. When it died, and before I could get a new car, I drove my dad's pinto over the Summer- not very fun for a just-graduated 18 year old to drive a peach colored pinto around town.

BobS · September 9, 2014 5:43AM

1986 Renault Alliance- the one to watch.
Bought in 89 at age 17 for $1400.

I watched it alright. Fall completely apart, I mean completely, in 3 years.

Bob.

blee1 · September 9, 2014 5:44AM

My first car, still the same paint job I put on it in 1989.....

Guru · September 9, 2014 5:45AM

'86 Ford Taurus. Started driving it in high school, then once in college it was the road trip car of choice. After that was a 1998 Contour. It was a good little car that I bought cheap from a neighbor who got too old to drive. Then I bought what I'm driving now...2004 Mitsubishi Galant. Starting to rust and wondering when I'll have to get something else and start making car payments again.

PLEHR · September 9, 2014 5:49AM

My first car was a completely restored 1968 Dodge Charger, 383/automatic. My dad bought it for me the summer of 1988, almost a year before I got my drivers license.

wrong. the common website security question is "make" or "model" of your 1st car.

and besides, no where in those "security questions" does it state that you have to tell exactly what your make was of your first car or even respond w/ a car at all. a smart man, would enter the word "yatzee" or "spoon" as his answer. that way the answer is something that only YOU know.

but thanks captain buzzkill.

itzagoner · September 9, 2014 6:54AM

a moped.

FINESTKIND · September 9, 2014 6:55AM

My first was a 1973 Dodge Tradesman van. I had to pump the brakes every time to stop. My first new car was a 1985 Monte Carlo.

Was new when purchased in 1988.

1973 Pinto wagon with no reverse - yellow with fake wood panel sides.

paid $50 for it and got an insurance settlement of $200 on it when someone cut in front of me, totaling it

1974 Chevy Chevelle. Sorry, not the SS. Bought it from a little old lady (dont ask me why a little old lady needed a V8 big block) and the engine wasnt even broken in. Exterior was not the best of shape but I only paid $650 for it. Even though it wasnt the SS, I could blow away just about anyone.

I've never seen that question, or if it did come up always took another question instead.

89 jeep wrangler for me. Red with black top.

epislash · September 9, 2014 8:53AM

1988 izuzu I mark. Stupid me, 1993 junior in high school let my underage girlfriend take it and she totals it. Maybe it was a good things cause my next car was an '87 Iroc Z28. I want another one, I loved that car...the z28 that is

perkdog · September 9, 2014 8:55AM

1968 Buick Wildcat

I litterally fit 11 kids in that thing one time, my father bought it for me for $50 in 1987 from a guy up the street who had it in his yard.

1973 Pontiac Ventura, straight 6. It was a 2-speed, hit the gas hard as you could and it would go up to 45 and go into 2nd gear.

Did I inspire a thread? Sweet!

The first car that I owned was a 1993 Mitsubishi Mirage 2 door coupe. I didn't particularly pick it out, but I was low on choices.

NickM · September 9, 2014 10:26AM

1975 AMC Hornet. Brown, no AC, AM radio. I had my choice of either of my parents' 2 old cars at age 16. The other one was worse.

1983 Oldsmobile Firenza - blue on blue. Real chick magnet. Fortunately, about a year later a lady totalled it and no one was hurt but with insurance money got a 1980 Camaro that I would love to have back.

hyperchipper09 · September 10, 2014 6:27AM

1988 Chevy Beretta GT. With the Corvette suspension. Graduated that year, and even though my Dad had passed away 2 years earlier my Mom kept his promise of buying me a new car after graduation. Any thought as to why I try to do as much as I can for my Mom at this time(she's 81 now), is answered by that, and what she did to make sure I got a college education. Could never be repaid properly...

custom352 · September 10, 2014 7:27AM

1965 Ford Custom with 352 & 4 barrel. And a menagerie my favorite trim from that year's Galaxie, LTD, XL models (including the bucket seats and console)
