What was your first car?

Quote from lindq:

A 1960 Renault Dauphine.

The starter failed after 2 weeks and I couldn't afford a new one. I always had to park going downhill (really impressed my dates), or have a buddy with me. Fortunately I was going to school in an area with lots of hills.

Not a good idea to ever buy a French car.

Hee hee... I had a Renault, the gauges melted on a hot day in the mojave, it was funny, all the pointers were bent. You could buy brand new replacement fuel pumps from the dealership and they would not work. I got rid of it, I owed some bucks to a guy I really could not stand so I talked the price up on the car and paid off the debt with it. I was laughing, he towed it away just sure he could get it on the road since he was so much smarter than me :D
 
1978 Camaro Z-28. Black on Black and had a 350 V-8 with minor work done to it (carbs, headers, ignition, etc.) Beautiful car that got a lot of attention...when it ran. Sold it a few months later out of frustration and bought a 1987 nissan sentra. My life went downhill after that...:(

340?




Quote from MRWSM:

1973 Barracuda, awesome car and I
still have fond memories of it. For it's time
it was a good car.
I know the owner who bought it from me
and he still has it, and it looks perfect and still runs good. It's probably worth $50,000 now. How many of you can say
that about a 1970's jap-crap mobile?
:)
