Your First Car?

[pirateboy]

In honor of my first REAL car being put to death tomorrow, what was your first car and what kind of quirks did yours have?

I sold my car to an auto recycler today - it will be stripped for parts, and as best as I can tell, smashed. I feel sad - am I a huge vagina or is this normal?

Anyway, first cars. Go!

1979 Chevy Luv pickup truck

150,000 miles, a working 8 track player, and 0-60mph in 32 seconds.

My parents still have it at their house. I drive it on occasion when I go home, just for good ole times sake.

Doesnt have the 8track player no more tho [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

When I turned 16 my dad gave me a jeep cherokee, fairly used but in good condition, he told me this was the only help Id ever get as far as cars/insurance/money etc and to take care of it, so I could wouldnt be SOL when trying to get a new car. It was a pretty good lesson I guess. One awesome thing about the car was that teh rear windshield wiper fluid dispenser was broken, and would shoot a nice 7 foot stream of washer fluid out the back of the car like james bond.

First car I drove was a 1982 Plymouth Horizon (Dodge Omni), it wasn't happy over 65, got great milage, and died when a guy hit it with a Honda Accord.

The first car I owned was a 91 Civic SI that had had the springs cut. Fun car to drive if you could tolerate the fact that you were going to put on a new muffle once a year as a given.

Way normal.

1979 Chevy Monza.

V6, but a very light car. I could actually burn rubber going into every gear but the top. Blew the head gasket and had to put her to sleep in something like '91.

A 1983 Pontiac J2000 piece of [censored] sedan. 120,000 miles, no cassette player (AM/FM radio only), no power anything (except for steering, thank god).

I miss her.

Mines was a beat to hell '75 Toyota pickup. Had it about 3 months before I blew the engine.

The first car I drove was an 82 Mercury Cougar - in 1998. The windows were power windows (I know), but the car was so old, you had to hold the power window button down and then push it down with your hand, too.

The cassette player sat in the middle console.

Then in 2000, I bought my first car, a 2000 Kia Sephia. Kia's sucked way worse then, but it lasted me until now. The transmission needs to be rebuilt ($2k) and the car already has 120,000 miles on it. Not even worth $2k.
