i had a 93 dodge dynasty... i had the worst luck with that thing. i woke up one morning and my car got sideswiped, a week later my car was sideways in the yard front end smashed. a chunk of the 2nd guys fender came off so we had this ugly seafoam green piece. two weeks later and like 3 miles away we saw a jeep parked in a drive way that matched the color and called the cops. needless to say i got more back then i paid for it. but it was bomb, if i seen one for sale cheap id buy it.

The first car I drove was my moms, IIRC, 95 Mitsubishi Expo. I even put some a 12 in there with a cd player deck. My mom was kinda mad cuz I did that. Mostly cuz she needed the trunk space.

Then my dad bought me a 86 Mazda 626. It was my uncles so my dad got it for cheap. I just loaded it up with sounds and stuff. It eventually broke down and had to toss it. I think its cuz I raced it to much.

The first car I owned and bought on my own was a 91 Nissan Skyline GTS-T. I loved that car. It was so much fun to race and drift. Ohh this was when I live in Japan so yes I really did own it.

My second time I went back to live in Japan I owned a 95 Mitsubishi Evo 3. Then a 99 Nissan Cube. Then a 99 Toyota Chaser. All fun cars. The Evo and Chaser I fixed up nice for racing. The Cube is just a little box looking car and those types of cars are real big there. Did it up with wheels, body kit, lights, little bit of bling, and sounds. I loved that car. Not a single problem with it and got great gas mileage, filed it up once a month.

Yeah, Im a import guy at heart. All the cars ive owned in Japan was turbo and lots of fun. Except for the Cube. This is the first domestic I have ever owned. My dad has a Dodge Dakota, so its not the first ive driven.

I had what every kid wanted - a 1979 Caprice Classic, 4 door, poop brown on color...real beauty! OK, maybe not every kid, but I'm sure there were a few who were happy that I could drive em around.

Drove my mom and dads mercury topaz till I was about 18, then my dad bought my an 89 Sunbird GT Turbo and it was a fast little car, it would dust the 3.1 V6 cavaliers that all my friends were driving and it only had a 2.0 turbo. It was black on top and blue on bottom 2 tone, I had 12s in the trunk and limo tinted windows. Overheated the engine and thought if I went faster the wind would cool it off... Wrong! 2 minutes of speeding and the engine locked up on me. Stupid kid i was. It got sold to a guy I work with for 500 bucks and I used that as a down payment on a new manta green Z24 in 1999. That was a nice car once I was done ricing it up (17s, tint, stereo, CAI, lowered, corvette style pipe tips, anything chrome), but it wasnt as fast at the turbo bird was.

My best friend had the coolest car for a first car. When we were about 16 his grandma called and told him she had a car for him if he wanted it. We drove out to her house and moved a bunch of stuff in her garage that was on top of a car cover. Eventually we were able to remove the car cover and reveal a red 1976 Caddy Sedan Deville in MINT condition with 16000 miles on it. Everything was like new it even smelled new. 502 cubic inch engine with 425 horsepower, this car would lay a hell of a patch and we had it up to 140mph on the highway before. We loved cruising in that badboy, it would haul 10 highschool kids no problem. Old dudes used to always tell him that he had a cool car too. Then he let his cousin drive it and he slid it sideways around a corner and broadsided the curb and went through a bus shelter and wrote it off...

Blue 1970 Chevelle with a 402 and 400 trans with a manual valve body was my first car back in high school (1987). It sucked down gas and had manual steering.It was fast,fun,loud and I miss it. My second was a 1971 (1987-1991) Malibu 350 convertable, fun car to drive especially with the top down.I miss that one too. I kick myself every time I see what these cars are going for now. And don't even get my wife started,I think she is still mad at me for selling the '71. Sometimes I think she started dating me just for the car.LOL. I will have to dig up some pictures and try to get them up.
