My first car was an inherited 1998 Jeep Cherokee. My 06 MCS is the first car I bought myself.

 

I could reinstall the belt in the dark without using a flashlight in 15 minutes.

 

A Datsun 2dr 510 back in the early, early 70's. And still have a few of them now. Having race 2 difference one's in the past.

 

Bet your sorry you don't still have that one.

 

:cornut: That would be a 239cu in Ford. Clyde Barrow's favorite engine. He loved Ford V8's.

1974 Opel Manta - It's been years and years since I've seen one of them in person. It had a 1900 CC engine but was dead simple to work on. I learned a lot about fixing things right vs. just fixing them on this car.

Unfortunately, my wife sold it to my sister when I was away at boot camp. My sister's idiot husband wrecked it then disassembled the transmission all over their back yard. By the time I got back from boot, Little Red was no more. Very fond memories are all I have left of her (Little Red, not my sister.)

 

1984 Dodge Colt GTS Turbo in gunmetal grey, an old school "pocket rocket".

Bought her at an auto auction. I picked up a Chilton's guide, some Craftsmen tools and a two-ton jacket. I learned a lot about that car as I was underneath her every other day.

 

1972 Datsun pick up


mine was white with a blue hood
Traded landscaping labor for it....worked my butt off digging trenchs and hauling out rocks

 

First car I was able to take out on my own was '72 Maverick Grabber.

First car purchased was a '78 VW Scirocco. Had it until I sold it when I got my '04 Cooper S.

 

My first car was a 1956 Ford Victoria 2 door HT. auto. Thunderbird V8 and I paid $500 for it in 1963.The first mods were to install an old table radio speaker in the rear shelf and removed the hubcaps.

 

Heck John what a cool first car. Took me years to work my way into a sweet R53 MINI.

 

1958 VW (first year for the larger rear window), I sure loved those

36 hp!

 

Whaaaaatt.....Rab in a VW Beetle? Tell me it ain't so!

 

:cornut: Wonderful car but some body at Ford had a whole bucket of 'dumb' poured all over them when they put a Windsor Engine where they should have put a Cleveland Engine.:eek6::frown2::crazy:
