fastarnie Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 My first car was a black (looked purple in the sun) 1974 Chevy Vega that I bought for $200.00. The road that led to the housing development I lived was full of 15, 20, and 30 mph turns. Made this car pretty fun. What was your first car, and what did you like or dislike about it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first car was a 1980 Renault Le Car. The key ignition was on the left side. The windshield wipers only worked with a bobby-pin. It had a sunroof that was made of canvas and reminded me of a baby carriage hood. However, I got 40 MPG and it got me through my college internship. It was a puddle jumper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to a Pink Floyd lazer show in Seattle, and had to pick up the car to park it. Kinda bounced it in a parking space. Not enough room to paralel park. Good times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times Ha ha once when I had it worked on at a local garage, they performed a trick and picked it up and turned it around in the garage. It was a fun car - Kind looked like the a smaller, cheaper version of a Mini - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, 383 cid, 4bbl carb, headers. One cool and fast car. Ran like a raped ape. Some a**hole rear ended me and totaled it. Damn I miss that car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivesman Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 1961 Rambler American. I paid $100 in 1982. It ACTUALLY RAN! It had an oil bath air filter, the front seats laid back even with the back seat so you could camp in it. I'm thinking about finding another, post-RV. It drove SO smooth and the visibility was AWESOME! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once had a boyfriend that had a car like this, he loved it, I hated it because he spent more money on his car and he could never really take me on a date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
