First:
First paid for:
Its sad death:
Left side of front axle locked up at 45mph on a dirt road and spun me sideways, right into the ditch. Tweaked the frame a little and damage would have cost $1k I didnt have to fix so the old MuddMutt met her fate at the scrap yard...but not before yanking the big 360ci 5.9L motor and Danna 44 rear sold to pay for a new blazer

Can't believe I've never seen this thread!
Nice rides.....I've got a real groaner for ya....
First car I drove was my parents minivan(don't remember kind)
First car I owned? 1978 Ford Pinto
Actually ran pretty good, as the guy I bought it from kept it up for the most part. Bought it for $100 cash. All I had to do was get the carb rebuilt and replaced the windsheild. Wish I coulda painted it, but the primer red "paint" job kinda grew on me.
It's also the reason why most of my cars(until the blazer) have all been manual transmission. Something about shifting those gears! All my friends in high school used to laugh at me....until we all where headed to a baseball tournament about 50 miles away, and I blew by em all doing about 80-90(don't remember exact, been way to long) with my hood flapping all the way....Latch didn't sit completely closed.....lol
Kinda miss the thing too. Drove it for about 2 1/2 years until the clutch finally went out, and at the time I had the cash so I got something else.
My favorite car(not counting the blazer of course) was my 85 Camaro, still mad at myself for trading it in, but at the time, didn't have the money to fix things going wrong, and I couldn't keep up with the gas with as much as I was driving. I got a pic of it, but no scanner, so can't upload it....I'll add it later if I can get it scanned.

Your First Car
My first vehicle was a 78 Chevy custom pickup. Baught for $400. It got 9mpg and used oil so bad my dad started putting used oil in it. XD
My first "car" was a 87 Buick Regal. I miss this car. I really whant an 87 buick Grand National, but if I came acrost a regal t-type I would buy it too. Mind you this would be my "fun" car. I would still keep the blazer of course. ^_^ Here is a pic. Its actually my graduation photo
