1978 Jeep CJ7 304 with a hole in the side of the block that I replaced with a 360 and T18A 4spd with granny that I replaceds all of the sycros and the 1-2 ****fork along with bearings throughout. Bought it when I was 15, and took 6months for me to get running great learning experience. While I was fixing the Jeep I drove a 1989 Dodge Colt, my parents bought new and were going to throw away because "its got over 100,000 miles on it now. It was kinda like fat chicks and mopeds there fun to ride until your friends catch you on one.

First car (I paid for this one): 1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. PIMP! The doors alone were nearly as long as a Sentra.

Second car (dad bought me this one): 1995 Ford Ranger. It has taught me how evil Ford is.

Third (current) car: 1993 Nissan Maxima (My baby, bought from my father when he bought his '04)

My frist car was a B11 Sentra, 1983 1.6litre 5sp WORKING AC in primer grey/silver/blue. #2 was a 86 Honda CRX, had it all of 1 week when i though it would be cool to have a drop top CRX (in Nov.) and cut the roof off. Week after that i got the 240SX had it since then.

1984 Caprice Classic. With its 305 V-8 that beotch saw more air time and offroading than most WRC rally cars. I ran it low on coolant for the summer and it still ran like a champ. Just replaced the water pump and the radiator. The block was solid and took all the abuse I could dish out to it.

The back seat was great for climbing in back and getting busy. Plenty of room to.. you know.bud

I wrecked my mom's 1973 Ford Grand Torinio Sport when I was 15, ran it in a ditch. She looked at me and said, "well it's yours, I'm going to town and buy me another one!"

Over the next three years I spent every nickle I earned restoring it to better than new condition! I won the first and only car show I entered it in! The best part about it was the motor - a 351 Cleveland. For those uninformed brethren, that's a BIG block pumping out 350HP stock. It never had a wrench turned on it! Way too much for a 16 year old.

By the time I finished her my senior year in high school it was a car that all guys loved. Girls of course liked new cars, not muscle cars. There was one thing the girls liked about that boat - the back seat!

My first year in college I was broadsided and pushed into a telephone poll. Totaled.

My first car was a Red 95 honda civic VX hatch. It was 5-speed and a 1.5L VTEC econony engine. 1.5L VTEC-E = 92 flywheel hp. easy 50 mpg at lest 30 something mpg beating the absolute crap out of it. It was so slow, it couldn't even get out of its own way. No power steering, for that matter no power anything, but it had working A/C.

1st car . Hand me down ex-mom silver-blue 1963 ChevyII 300 4 door. (lower model to the Nova) 196 ci I-6, 3 speed manual (1st gear non-synchro), AM radio and heater. Flat bench seats and column shifter made it a great date car (ahem).

1st car I bought was an immaculate red/white 1965 Corvair Monza garage queen. Gorgeous car. handled great too (Ralph Nader was a moron). loved that car.

Man, GM needs to bring Opel to the U.S. Opel makes some of the best looking cars around today.

And Alfa needs to come back to the U.S....I heard some rumor about them coming back in the next decade some time. Alfa rules.

Right, an opel with styling from Cadillac's worst period in history, with a Cadillac price, and cadillac handling, but no northstar power. What the HELL was GM thinking?

Caddy Styling was on it's game then...

the Catera wasn't a bad car really, I wish they'd have brought the 5 speed version over here though.

oh, they did it again with the GTO better choice in car this time though
