Your first Vehicle

[ColoRaider]

Well, after seeing Nick's first vehicle it started bringing back memories, and I figured we could get a "first vehicle" thread started.
I know some folks around here might have had to wait until there later years to pick up that model -A but none the less...


My first vehicke was a 1977 Chevy Monza hatchback
a 305 V8 was the PERFECT starting point for a young man in Bakersfield CA.

I bought my first car a month or so before I got my license. It was a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR7. It was a pretty cool car!! I totaled it though. :(

Mine was a 1979 320i. My Dad wanted me to have an old Volvo as my first car, so of course I wanted the 242 Turbo. Preferably red. Try to find one of those in 1990...so he found this sweet dark blue Bimmer with dark tinted windows, gold mesh wheels (they were cool back then!), front air dam and fog lamps...and we found after the fact the engine was shot. We were planning on a rebuild anyway - he'd bought a rolled '78 to use the engine out of. We did the work in the Hagglunds-Prinoth snow cat garage in Arvada. It was a fun project.

Mine was a 62 Plymouth Fury. (I loved that tank).

My first car was a 1976 AMC Gremlin. Purple. With the straight six. What a pile. Kinda wish I still had that car. Paid $100 for it from my dads cousin Delmer. He still owns Freisen Chevrolet in Sutton NE. Dad wouldn't let me buy the mid engine Corvair pickup sittin' next to it. Was only a small block 350, turbo 350, Ford 9 inch with a drive shaft about 12" long. I would not have ended up dead, no matter what they said.

'72 FJ-40, Shackle lift on 33x9.5 BFG AT's. Loved that thing. That was my first engine rebuild, ended badly, but I learned alot of lessons. Also did my first clutch on it too. Sold it after it turned into a money pit several years later.

A 1979 Scout II Traveller, 345 V8 with a 727TF, Dana 44s, rear limited slip and a removable top, loved it!! Massive rust all over it, Scouts didn't do too well back east. I got it about the time of my 20th b-day, and to celebrate my girlfriend and I took it to the beach in Princess Bay on SI and started a bonfire with my bus pass, which turned out to be a hasty decision as the Scout wouldn't start the next morning and I had to pay regular price to take the bus to work. I've been a dumbass for a while.

My first car is the one I have now. I got it when I got my liences one year ago. I love my 4runner it runs great and gets me places as a first car should, it's a great car and is getting up grades slowly. Working on skid plates and more afterword tires the my street tires I have on there now.

[CodeXJ]

My first vehicle was a jeep cherokee, I got it on my 16th birthday when I went and got my license. If you look at my avatar its the same jeep!!! That's correct. The jeep I drive currently is my first vehicle ever. Got it stock and built it up. I love this beast probably never going to sell it or get rid of it unless it gets totalled or something:( hopefully never. I got this jeep 4 years ago and has been very reliable.

[Zukrider]

[deederz]

1997 Grand Cherokee Limited v8, it was purple, some would say maroon but it was purple, originally was bought new by my mom but then passed on to my brother, then from my brother passed onto me, had it for 3-4 years until i saved enough money to get a new car. when i sold it in 2007 it had 180k miles on it

[mattzj98]

My truly first car was an 08 benz. A 320 CDI. That thing was a turbo diesel and it moved! (But as long as on pavement)

I had a Mercury Cougar as my first car too....a 1978 model boat-mobile.

[Brody]

Old 50s something Buick POS I bought for $200. Worked well enough. I was 16 and not living at home and it was what I could afford. Still had to finish my senior year in high school, so having a car of any kind was good.

[Squshiee1]

My first car is the same as in the avatar picture! It is a 1997 isuzu rodeo s, but with ls features. It has been a great car.
The first picture was the day i bought it.

And you ended up with an LR3. Quite complaining. :p :D

[96blkbeauty]

1988 S-10 Blazer. Bought it when I was 15. Not a bad little 4x4...except that POS 2.8L. I drove it hard...like most teenagers. I sold it after having it for 2.5 years, right before I moved to college. Had a little over 100k miles. Rear main seal was leaking a quart a week, clutch about done for, and other misc problems. Problems I didn't want to take with me to college. So at that point, I bought my Bronco off my dad.

[96blkbeauty]

Oh, and you can also see the my dads old E-150 van in the driveway. That was the first vehicle I ever drove. He had about 300k miles on that thing.

[ColoJeeper]

First car was a "74" Mercury Capri...wrapped it around a bridge in the middle of Nebraska.

Were you in the US?

[Rob]

Were you in the US?

Indeed, I was. My mom found it through the classifieds from a seller in Manassas, Va., for $350 in 1973.

It was mainly a UK car, built by Ford of Britain, but some left-hand drives were sold in the U.S. from '62 to '70.

[glacierpaul]

My mom's second car was my first, a 76 Toyota Corolla, dubbed "the yellow submarine" by my friends:rolleyes:

[EldoradoFJ60]

1989 Honda Civic. When I got iy I could fill up the tank for $15 and drive 380 miles between tanks. It went from Boston to Lake Tahoe. Clutch finally went in Arizona so I traded it in for the Frontier my old man still drives.

[Jim]

1979 CJ-5 was my first vehicle. ?302? V-8 into headers into open throat glass packs. Wonderful rumble. Had it for a couple of years and well enjoyed it. I kept thinking if I were to do a Jeep again, as a daily driver, it'd be a CJ-7 (for a bit more storage area) with a hard top (lockable and warmer in the winter). Winters I rode in with the soft top were in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. The ability to take the top down to enjoy the views and breeze was the primary attraction. The capability to take a road less traveled fits my desire for scenery as well.

[SCRubicon]

My first car was a 1984 Camaro nicknamed, "The Roach" because at the time they were all over the place - like cockroaches. Not a bad car, but not anything like what I learned to drive in.

This was my mom's 1957 210 Chevrolet. 283 V8, automatic, chrome for days. I truly loved this car. She's the one that got away. The pic is from somewhere around 1988-89.
