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

[femme325is]

hahahaha shit, I had the same car.

Mine had 2.5 inch side pipes, torque thrust 2's, a fairly built 350, and a perfect black paint job. Then it got stolen :(

nice! all the Chevelle owners are coming out of the woodworks now ;)

Yours sounded a bit more fun than mine though. lol

Sorry if this is a re-post... I'm just curious to see where everyones car obsession started. Did you all start with german cars or something lesser? ha

My first was a 68 Chevelle Malibu when I was 16. Metallic teal, 2 dr, my dad took the 8 out and put a straight 6 out of an Impala to slow it down :( It had sweet sweet Ivy gold interior, had that old lady musty smell, had a mouse nest in the seat cushion up until we did the swap, Cragar rims, wipers worked when they felt like it, once turn signal worked, body wasnt bad but one door has alot of Bondo, I painted the valve cover and block plum purple before it went in :)

Soo girly, I know.

that's what you get for being drunk and stoned while speeding down a dirt road in rocky point.... duh good move! at least he made it out before the federallies caught him

[femme325is]

I know.. The thing takes so much money and time! Just put a rebuilt tranny in and it's SOOOOOo slow. Im scared to drive it because if you hit any headwind it drops you down to 20mph. lol. And sidewinds? oh geez. Everyone around me quickly changes lanes to get away because you swerve all over the road. lol

It's still fun though. I love it. Already have so many nice memories in it. :)

Your friend rolled the Westy!??! Now that would be some scary shit to live through, doors flying open, utensils and shit flying everywhere. ouch

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

first and only car for the last seven years!

[der affe]

Oh yes, I hear you on that one. Aircooled VWs are such a Love/Hate relationship. Ours is always getting work done.

Our beige beast "Bertha" Westy/Riviera. Last year before they switched to H20 cooled

:)

oh noes! the dreaded late type 4 motor! don't over heat it, then your valve seats come loose an really bad things happen!

at least your heads don't rot away like the H2O ones do..

i had a 71 westy for a short time before i flipped it (sold) to my friend. i built a 2180 for him for it, 8 months later he rolled it in Mexico....doh!

1958 VW bug.

i miss it, but don't miss working on it all the time!

'89 Honda Accord LXi. It did 112 mph downhill with the 5-speed. My E30 is the first car I bought. Fixing up a '65 Mustang GT with a friend to get my classic American car fix for the time being.

[kronus]

Learned to drive in that when I was 10 ^^


My e30 is the first car I bought for myself.

[der affe]

1958 VW bug. swapped the tranny out for a built syncro unit, first build a stroked and bored 40hp 1385cc to a 1601cc using a 69mm crank turned down to 30 under and offest ground to a 74 mm stroke, 83 40hp big bore pistons, and 1600 single port heads with ICT webers (old school performance)
then a 1955cc blowthrough turbo with dellortos, deano dynosoar heads (dean was a friend of mine), put it a frameworks NHRA legal cage, 2" wider rear fenders, had custom ERCO spun alum wheels made 5 1/2" front 7 3/4 in the rear, bullet front fenders, scat procar seats, diest harnesses, orsce 356 front drums, type rears drums, way to much $$ and stuff to completely list.
got the car to do a 13.73. not too bad for a heavy street car with streetable gearning.

i miss it, but don't miss working on it all the time!

[TwoJ's]

'93 Maxima. It was donated from my mother, and I beat the living shit out of that car. It was great, never gave me a single problem.

[Mr Two]

1991 SW21 Toyota MR2. Sold it and missed the hell out of it since. Hence the name.

Came really close to buying another one just now but it looks like I'm about to pull the trigger on an S50 swapped E30.

[regnu]

I think I am in the not cooler than a German car class.


1979 Z28 Camaro


Acctaully I have been toying with the idea of getting one again.
