ACMESkydiver 0 #101 January 20, 2004 Quote1973 Datsun B210. 280,000 miles on it by the time I gave up on it. Wow Bill, me too!! At least I think that's what it was? Was the B210 a pick-up or microscopic hatchback? I had a 1973 microscopic hatchback (either a B210 or B610...I don't remember!) It was two-tone...blue and rust. No carpets, just bare metal floor boards, a bad battery, no heat, and no radio. Parents bought it for $500, and we sold it for $200 after I completed destroying it. I actually ran away from home and LIVED in that damn thing for three days...in the dead of winter...with NO HEAT!! -As a teenager, I wasn't the brightest of stars in the sky...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

wzettler 0 #104 January 20, 2004 I had a tricycle as my first vehicle (hand-me-down from my sister) my first motorized vehicle was a 1991 CBR600F2 (which is a motorcycle for those of you who don't know). Yeah, I know, stupid to buy a bike before a car and I paid for it that first winter, but I needed some speed on the roads... I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoShitThereIWas 0 #106 January 20, 2004 1990 Jeep Wrangler, white exterior with the grey soft top and grey interior. Total dude magnet and it was definitely the beach/offroad/cruise-mobile. My California license plates read "JENJEEP". Cool thread Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jalisco 0 #108 January 23, 2004 An ancient Opel Kadet B Coupe (see pic, attached -- mine was cream colored) that I got in high school. Cost me (my parents, actually) $50. The girls named it the "Pregnant Duck" due, as best I could tell, to it's distinctive shape. The front-seat passenger's floorboard had rusted out along one edge, so that if I hit a puddle at normal (35-40mph) speed, a stream of water would arc up over the right sholder of the front-seat passenger into the back-seat, getting suprisingly little water on the passenger. The startled cries are still fresh in my memory. I hit an oil slick and ran it into the back of a Caddy - no effect on the Caddy, but the Duck was totalled.

Pammi 0 #109 January 24, 2004 1972 Hornet, in 1989. I could hardly find 'regular' gas for it , there was a cinder block with foam over it as the driver's seat, it didn't go over 35 (and we lived in the country) and it didnt' have heat. $50. LOL!

sdgregory 0 #111 January 24, 2004 My first vehicle was those things at the end of my arms and legs. What are they called again? I do not remember the make and model. Then I moved on to a larger version of the things on my legs. After that I decided that it was better to use a tricycle. Again do not remember the make and model Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldnewbie 0 #112 January 24, 2004 Mine was a 69 Z-28! White with black go-fast stripes and cowl induction hood. Its amazing what you could buy back in 1974 for $500. I got this car the day I turned 16. What a gift i bought myself!! I should have kept that car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodyflight.Net 0 #113 January 24, 2004 1979 Lemans just like the picture.... it was awesome!!! I totaled it though, curvy road, pitch dark & an overconfident teen behind the wheel; 45 mph head on into a ditch, flipped it around and hit it again on the side, 7 people inside, noone was hurt, we all walked away from it!! They sure don't make cars like that anymore! Edited: it was so totalled that the local fire department used it for "jaws of life" practice for the newbies! .

chuteless 1 #114 January 24, 2004 My first car was a 1932 Pontiac, with no floor boards (a nusiance when you drove through a puddle) and a hole about 12" X 6" in the plate glass windsield. The windshield wiper kept getting stuck in the hole and I'd have to push it back out on every swing. I could and did often start the car with a crank to turn over the engine.
