So out of complete curiosity.. what was everyones first car?

[femme325is]

Corrados are another one I loved. The 90s were the G60s right?
I had a 92 SLC. Soooooo fun but was pulled over constantly.

God I need to stop burning through so many cars.

I would love to own a 2002 someday.

M42technik, is that the actual TR6 you learned on? That car is amazingly clean. There was a triumph meet down in Florida that I stumbled actross while on vacation, those cars are amazing.

TR6 FTW, my dad had a '68 TR250 (tr4 with a tr6 engine)

Toyota Previa:


Supercharged, mid-engine, rear wheel drive. The Ferrari of minivans :)

Nice looks clean too hard to find one clean s/c now. Would look sick done up VIP style.

Was going to get one but the wife looked at me crazy so got a 08 Odyssey. I think she looked at me crazy more because I'm on my 30 th car and I'm only 32.

I believe so, my bro-in-law said I got city lights. I always assumed he meant parking lights. Sorry for sounding like a noob but what's the difference?

Man, I totally wanted a 16v GTi, but couldn't find a good one at the time... I bet those pulled pretty hard for a little 4 banger =)

Yeah it had city lights we just never hooked it up. Gee I remember working on that car a lot. Even replacing the shock then you blowing it the next day. Goodtimes.


My first car was a 75 911 targa euro import, was kinda inherited major money pit. 3 motors and a lot of money. Was in the shop more then I drove it. Wish I had it now sold it for $3000 Canadian back in 93.

now on my 5th e30 30th+ car I've owned going to keep this one this time...maybe

I had a 94 accord wagon with no radio and a big dent in the front drivers side fender. The day I started to clean it up was the day it got totaled by an illegal alien without insurance at 4 in the afternoon. I really fell in love with cars because of my dad's '74 bronco, all original, redone paint and interior. Beautiful truck, 100% stock. I fell in love with e30's when my friend would pick me up from college before I was allowed to have a car (I went to a strict school.) I started thinking about how great they were and then bought a convertible in great shape, redid the suspension, fun car. I loved it. That died, and I moved on to my M3.

1981 oldsmobile cutlass supreme. Bought it from my mom for $700 after I put it in a ditch. fixed the fender and drove it for about 3 years - wasn't a horrible car, the interior was in great shape, but the engine was the god-awful 231 V6 "cam eater". It had less torque than an 84 318i, but yet it weighed 1000lbs more.. eventually the engine got so plugged up that it started leaking oil from every oriface. I had no clue how to fix an engine back then - I think one time we ran paint thinner through the oil to try and clear the oil passages. I ran it bone fucking dry of oil at least twice, but somehow it kept running..

I managed to sell it for $700 and buy a '67 dart for about the same price. Swapped out the 225 slant-6 and put in a 318 (totally regretted that one, the slant-6 was a great motor) , drove it for about 5 years until I got my current car. I have pics somewhere but not online..

[JasonC]

JasonC- thats weird you came across it again. I think it was trying to tell you something. It wanted to come back home to you!

Yep. But i did buy another one that looked just about like it 4 years ago. Although this time it had a built 360 in it and mini tubed. But it's out in LasVagas somewhere now. And to top it off. I bought a 96 Firebird Firehawk here a few weeks ago. Acouple of days after i bought it, another 70 Dart with 340 4spd came up for sale here. But i already bought the Firehawk :slaps forehead: Oh well, i'll be happy with the Firehawk anyway.
