First/Favorite Car You Owned
 

Got this idea from the "Dwellar Not RFN" pic thread. Show us a pic (or pics) of your first/favorite car/truck/ute/motorcycle. Anybody still have their first car?


My first:

1978 Ford Fiesta

Car I should be kicked for letting get away:

1971 Pontiac GT-37

somewhere on one of my back up drives is a picture of me with a hella mullet standing next my GS850. I was teh hawtness. you'll just have to imagine it .....shouldn't be too hard.

81 celica gt. had been totalled and then rebuilt from ground up. Kind of an orange-ish/reddish color.

LJ, I'll fess up too then. 1985 or 86 Suzuki 550LTD. 550 cc's, four carbs, five speeds, 119 mph in the quarter w/my big ass on it!

A sampling.

ok, I just have to say, El Camino's rocked in the day. They frigging hauled azz out of the box.

They still do, I still have the two white ones, although the one on the right is a parts car now.

My favorite?

The 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix the bank didn't sell me but I am thankful for that now under the circumstances even though it was only 50 extra dollars a month but a longer term.

The one they sold me looks just like this and it is almost paid off.

The paint and interior are perfect but neighbors cat keeps scratching it so it's not so perfect-perfect. I like my neighbors but their creature messing with it's resale value. They are not deep just obvious to me and not too numerous.

I wish the cat could jump on their huge suburban instead.:thepain:

I liked my Audi but not as much as I like this Taurus which I always thought of as Granny cars. I've owned a Volkswagen rabbit and Bonneville and some other kind of Ford, vans and I have a Ford Explorer too which is fun.

Bruce, how many cars do you have? I remember it's your passion -or one of them....

Been giving them to good homes, I'm down to five, I think.

Museums? Is there an xoB collection somewhere?

I take it you have them housed in all different places?

No, to people with the passion to do what I don't have the time and money... or ambition... to do. I rent places for some.

oh, cool. That's a nice thing to do. There are so many people with the ambition and skill who don't have the money to invest.

it's fun to imagine you having a multi-car garage like a roundhouse, though...

My dad's cousin used to do up old cars, drive them for a bit and then had to donate them to museums when he wanted to move on to the next one because he had no space to keep them and no-one could afford them (they were major antiques, driven only for fun at the weekends)

I would have, but the asshole yuppies that run this township said no... just because they could. I spent $15k fighting them, all the way to the state Superior Court and lost, but that's a looong story.:mad:
