Wow is that pretty. I love that color. I agree it's a bit pricey. Although it's a head turner.

The first vehicle I drove was my dad's 1970 c10 2wd. It was green with a light green on the top of the cab. 350 with a th350 trans. A.C. cab. It was rusty, but I loved that old truck. The first car I bought is a 1994 pontiac grand prix se, I still have it.

Default My First was a 1995 BMW 318ti E36

When I graduated, I got a 1995 BMW 318ti. But it needed shocks, tires, both window guides and motors, and pads and rotors. But after a few paychecks for all that it was awesome. Automatic with split manual 1-2-3-D shift. Electric sunroof. 4 banger hit the rev limiter at 120 and got 24+ mpg with 100+ mph driving frequently. But with 175,000 miles, some engine and other factory parts had normal wear and tear, but I couldn't afford it. So I bought my Blazer and sold the BMW to help pay for it. I love my truck, but when some punk in a factory caviler blows by me on the highway, I wish I still had it. I miss it but the guy I sold it too was more capable to give it the care it deserved. Had it from June 04-May 07.
First 2 pics are from wedding, last one is from google cause it doesn't like any of my other pics, but it looked exactly like that one. Except my clear coat was peeling off in places looked like it had a sunburn.

My first car is my Blazer, although it's not paid for yet. The first car i drove, legally, was a red 1989 Oldsmobile 88 4-door. Not the flashiest car, but I loved the way it looked and that V6 had some pretty good power for 18 years old at the time. Had around 120k I think

Not quite as exciting as some of you guys, but I loved it every bit as much as the rest of you if not more. (I did after all have my senior pictures taken with it )

'92 Ford Tempo GL 2.3l 5-speed
tinted windows, factory spoiler painted (poorly) and added on, 15x7 Koenig rims, 2" mandrel bent exhaust with glasspack, and a Ractive CAI (Added the piping in after the pic) and an adjustable strut tower brace Hated the bra (flapped in the wind @ 35mph+) but after sliding into the back of a Dodge Ram (Steel bumper > paper mahce' grill) I had to cover the busted grill and j/y Mary Kay pink bumper and this was the only method I could afford. Before the accident people used to mistake it for a Foxbody.









EDIT: Aww snap I just realized I revealed pictures of myself without my white helmet and jumpsuit. Clarkson's gonna be pissed.

You don't have the gut to be American Stig though...



So how does that work?
