Shaun_300 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Your first car or truck? Mine was a red 2003 Cavalier 2-door 5 speed, got it when I was 18, drove it for almost 2 years and sold it when I bought my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 1935 Plymouth 4dsd. A friend of mine and I pooled our money and bought it for $7.50 in 1958. We got it running and used it all summer for a lot car and sold it in the fall for $ 15.00 to a farmer who drove it for another year. He gave it back to us when the clutch gave out. We put a used clutch and pressure plate in it and it became a lot car for a while until we put it through a stone fence at good speed. We sold it to a junk yard for $ 7.50. Wish I had it back today along with a good many cars I had over the years. I did get another '35 Ply. in 1982. This one was a Business coupe' with 33,000 orig. miles on it. I drove it a few years to shows and parades, stored it for a while and sold it about 5 years ago. Still have the first car I ever drove " on the road." 1953 Olds Super 88. It's pretty rough having been stored outside for all these years but sentiment just won't let me give it up. Besides, I am afraid the back seat might talk!

Signed up for the roadtest the same day and took the test three days later. Passed with no deductions. Guess driving tractors, trucks, combines and the like from the time I could get into or onto one didn't hurt. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 1976 Ford F150 pickup. I baled straw and hay in the summer and worked on a horseradish and dairy farm after school in the fall to pay for it and cover insurance. It cost me $600. I actually bought it about 6 months before I turned 16. It had a 360 in it that smoked like no tomorrow, but ran pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Got my learners permit at 15 and was driving on my own the day I turned 16 which would have been in 1985.

Tominator Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 1982 Pontiac J2000. Horrible car. Hated it. Traded it in for a 1984 Camaro. Loved that car. Sold that in 1986, went without a car until I got out of the service and bought a 1978 Nova. Loved that straight 6. Very reliable, drove that baby for 3 years, sold it for the same amount I paid for it, got a Geo Metro, drove that for 4 years and I've been driving trucks ever since early 1994. I'm on my 3rd truck now, a 2003 Silverado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_Spike_King Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I was 19 years old when I got my first car, a 69 ford torino gt 2 door fast back. It was red with a 302 under the hood and posi in the rear. That car was geared so low that when loaded with the guys and going up hill I could burn the tires off that thing, (did many times). Paid 2,500$ cash, (I milked a lot of cows and bailed a lot of hay for that cash but would not change a thing other than I would have kept it. I have been driving Chevy trucks since. Ohiobucks, don't feel bad, when my wife and I were dating she drove her Dads O'l AMC Gremlin. :taped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) About a month after my 17th birthday (1998), I got a blue '94 Ford Ranger ext. cab, auto transmission w/ V6. It had around 59K miles on it. Put a Pioneer CD player in it. I drove it until the fall of 2006 when I got my current truck, '04 blue 4x4 F150 Super Crew. My wife and I had just got married about 7 week before I got it, so I pushed it as a "family vehicle." Gave the Ranger to my dad to use as a work truck. Ranger still going strong at 235K+ miles, but the radio's backlighting has almost gone away. Edited February 24, 2011 by Mach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I believe it was a '92 Mercury Topaz white 4-dr. I spent more time trying to get it to run than I actually did driving it. The best part of the car was the sweet Sony cassette player I put in it. I still remember jamming out to AC/DC on the way to football practice.
