My first vehicle was a 1986 S-10 Baja Edition without the paint package. 2.8 v-6 4WD. That was never put into my name though kept it in the dads name for insurance. The first in my name was a 1968 pontiac bonneville convertable. I bought it for a project vehicle in autobody class. Did alot of work to it until I found the frame was cracked/rusted beyond repair. Great experience though.
I asked my dad if I could get this one 1970 Chevy Nova SS with a 350 that i found in Florida, and get it under his name for insurance reasons. I found out that the insurance for me (and im not kidding u) would cost $250 - $400 A MONTH. Crazy! He wouldnt let me though and that Nova has sold anyway. Im still a muscle car fan though! waytogo
'92 Mazda MX-3, 1.8L V6, 5spd (owned a year and a half) '95 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6, auto (10 months, hated the auto) '95 Chevy C1500, 305, 5spd, Hypertech chip (4 years, then upgraded) '01 Dodge 2500 4x4 5.9L Cummins Wonder what's next....I keep upgrading! A 1 ton dually I guess! rotfl
1990 dodge ramcharger, truck was in perfect shape. Would have made a great candidate for a 12v or somethin. Carguy, don't buy a 1000cc anything for a first bike, you will hurt yourself.
I wouldnt buy it anyway. My parents would freak no matter how old i am. Plus they are very expensive! I would start out with something cheaper and less powerful.
1st car My first car was a1936 Ford coupe with a 3 speed straight pipes and no hood or front fenders or headlights
my first was a '78 chevy heavy half ton (big 10) w/ 350 4barrel, 4 speed, 2wd. 45,000 original miles. still runs like a top also an '88 trans am gta. 350 tpi flowmaster cat back, K&N intake, and hypertech chip. still only has 38,000 miles. mint condition. both aboves vehicles spend their days in a nice garage now, gaining value opcorn:
'53 Chrysler Imperial, not a gift, had to buy it! 331 Hemi with a two barrel, 2 spd auto trans, weighed about 6000 lbs., what a beast! If you kept your foot on the go pedal and didn't let up it would shift from low to high at about 85 mph (half a mile down the road). Couldn't hurt the beast though; left a brick on the throttle one day to hold it wide open, finally took the brick off after about five minutes with no harm done. The two barrel wouldn't flow enough to let the engine over rev'!!

My first was a 1977 dodge power wagon with the 440cid and a carter 850cfm carb, it only took about 3 days to decide that I needed a lift and big tires in the woods though.
73 Ford Grand Torino- puke blue- had a 8-track stereo, mounted home speakers box and all behind the back seat in the trunk- man that stereo was loud - too bad the car burned oil and gas to no end, but what can you expect for the lo lo price of 200 bucks- shoot I drove it for almost 2yrs THD07 Jeff
