My first car are a 1987 toyota celica gt which I bought for $1,500.00. I loved that car, it had power windows and sunroof. I remember having issues with my drive axles constantly popping off, untill I had it towed to a shop and they found the issue was broken motor mounts. Once I replaced the mounts I never had an issue, until the MAP sensor decided to crap out and that's when I got rid of her.

1993 Chevy 1 ton van (g30)... it was fun.. no tach... custom carpertenry/work cage in the back.... driving this when you are 16 was just bad ****....

Also... still have it and has been in the family since it was brand new.... but now she sits around the fathers house without an alternator... is the possible candidate for a rebuild and swap to the blazer

It died back in december of 05, I got the blazer a week later from the dealer at the corner of my street. I actually found it the day my car died which was cool. I remember seeing it and wanting it. Took it for a test drive and I was sold.

First car driven: 1965 Ford Truck, 1969 Chrysler Station Wagon Town & Country

First car owned: 1962 Ramber American, my dad found it in a field. I gave $200 for it.

196ci flathead 6 cyinder 3speed on the column. Top speed was about 70.

It looked a lot like this. Mine was an ugly green color. It took about me 2 weeks to get it running. The valves were stuck closed.

Seriously... funny thing...
Its got a "custom stereo" which was my dad mounting bookshelf speakers so that when he worked out of the van he could hear whilst doing carpentry.. but seriously... full of tools... Had a spare in the back.. two extra rims... a small ladder... various hand tools... some power tools... screamed at 12-14mpg and would do about 90+ when I wanted to... I drove it a few weeks after I got my license and drove it daily to school... it was known as the death van... my Older sister actually drove it as her first car too... lol

But a defining moment in my hs career... getting two girls in the back at the same time..... I wont tell you what we did... just use your imagination
