I ended up with my dad's 71 F100. I really wish I had that truck back. The first car I ever bought was a 68 Mercury Comet. It had a 200 I6 with a column shift 3 speed. Moved the shifter to the floor and that was a fun car. The list goes on. 81 Toyota Corolla wagon 88 Mitsubishi Truck 63 Galaxie 500. Still got this one in the garage. 91 Daihatsu Rocky 83 Mustang GT Convertible. 89 Subaru Wagon 4wd. This one actually had a high/ low transfer case. Pretty neat. 85 Bronco. Bought it for $3200 drove it as a beach toy, trailer hauler for 7 years and sold it for $3000. 94 Corolla Sedan. Current work beater car. 97 F250 SC LB 7.3 PSD. My new girlfriend imp: Dan
My first was the '57 Chevy pickup in my sig. 235 i-6 and a 3 on the tree. It's still in the garage. Plan to keep it forever. It's silver now but I plan to paint it the original Indian Turquoise as soon as I can get it to the top of the priority list.
It's all original. The previous owner patched rust on the bottom of the cab with fiberglass. I've replaced all of that with real metal. The only other thing I've done is maintenance, stuff like old wiring, bearings, leaky rear end. The only thing it needs is to paint it, replace the wood in the bed, and fix the transmission (it likes to pop out of third gear). I want to keep this one original and take it to shows. I also want to get another one and hot rod it. I know where and 58 or 59 apache is sitting in a barn, but I've already tried to get them to sell it and I've got plenty of projects for now. I got it when I was 15 and it was my daily driver until I got my jeep the Dec. before I graduated high school. I put quite a few miles on the old truck back then.
The first viehicle i had was an 88 chevy half ton the toughest truck i ever had was a mercedes 300D that poor car was treated beyond rough and if it had not been for a slick road and collegent stupidity:doah: it would still be around getting 25mpg and smoking like a frieght train (for those of you who didn't know it was a diesel; 5 cyl. turbo making +- 90 horsepower at the flywheel) imp: imp: it was a horse shoeing rig that doubled as an 8 keg hauler that also had a trunk that doubled as a cooler when the spare tire was left at home and the well was filled with ice and beer.imp: imp: May She RIP burnout
Im still amazed at the amount of people who got a diesel (even though its only 3), and im suprised that there is no votes for "didnt get a car"
Yeah V Dubs used to be good now they suck I know of one couple who have a Passat diesle and due to their weight both are over 500 lbs chew up the front tires on that car....lol they cant figure out why the car has issues with tires cause its rated for four people and they weight about like 5:doah:
My first vehicle was a 1979 Dodge D-100 regular cab, short bed 2wd. Had the good old 318 with a 2 barrel. Below is the only car I've ever owned and it went down the road for my Cummins Dodge - truck number 14.
My first car was a branspankin new 1984 Rabbit diesel Thats still rollin around after 300k + miles on it. My nephew bought it off me in 92 and just recently gave it to his youngest son.
