Boring Saturday night. Not much in the mood for roundball ( although I'm pulling for the SEC' two schools). Thought I'd ask this interesting cross section of fine folks on the board about your first car. Mine was a 63 Chevy Bel- Air 327 4 barrel. I wish I still had her.

1986 baby blue Ford Tempo. Put that car through the ringer and sold it with 170k on the odometer. Only two options it had were auto and air. Came with an am radio...

'72 Pontiac Ventura, baby crap yellow. Got caught in a snow bank and banged up the front fender on a telephone pole. Put a "new" green Bonneville fender in its place - My ride became a "Venaville." Man, that old Venaville would run. Had 180,000 miles when I sold it. It was still running with 270,000 last I knew.

My first car was a truck also. 1966 Chevy short wheel base, stepside, 250 inline six, Three on the tree, and a gun rack in the rear window. :p <br /><br />My Dad bought it new for about 1400 dollars. The only option he got with truck was a rear bumper.

Re: What was your first car?

Mine was a 1961 Cadillac Sedan, 4-Dr, had a big block, 429?? Passed everything on the road except the gas station. paid $50 and when I first looked at it it was out in a field, up on blocks (no wheels or tires) and the owner had been storing bagged chicken feed in it. Surprisingly it ran and well. Only thing I had to do was wheels / tires, a battery and patch a hole in the gas tank........

Mine was a '73 Plymouth 'Cuda. Had it brand new and sold it after I got married instead of putting in a new transmission. Shoulda gotten the trani.

Re: What was your first car?

First car I paid for, wasn't titled in my name, but that was a 1986 Cavalier coupe (4cyl 5sp, with A/C!).<br />First car that I actually had the title for was a 1990 Cavalier Z-24 (bought it off my sister in 1994). I kept it until 1999, and it had 186,000 glorious miles on it! I loved that car!
