Got the idea from the Escort-Bomber thread. It seemed like people were having fun remembering their first car soooo... What was your first car? Post a pic too if you can find one.
Mine was a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.
Edit: maybe this has been done before...if so I'm sure dream will let me know.
There were two cars in the family when I got my license and just me and my mom at that point as sis was away at school.
1985 Dodge Daytona Turbo. Looked like this one, but stripe along the bottom was black, and had TURBO written in big letters on the bottom of the doors.
Don't remember the exact year, but Triumph TR-7 vert.
Oh yeah I forgot my moms car, she had a 1979 Pontiac Bonneville. The Cutlass was my car but I got to drive the Bonneville from time to time. It was a fully loaded beast and was fairly well maintained. Not an attractive car by any means but it was huge, like driving a tank. It had some sort of stock self leveling system...like stock air ride, you couldn't control it but occasionally while sitting at a stop light it would adjust how it was sitting. It was weird...it would do it in the garage just sitting there.
This is what it looked like, moms was two toned green and mint green.
Wish I still had the pics - mine was a 1979 Chevy Malibu - woulda been cooler if it was 10 years older, but it was a solid first car and had some pretty serious punch with it's v8 (Ive not had this much engine since this car )...
My first was a Plymouth Scamp, a version of the Duster/Swinger. It was too fast for me and I ended up rolling it end-for-end in a field about two months after I got my license.
Next car was a 1978 Thunderbird. That was a sweet ride, and if I hadn't been such a raging nerd through High School I would have gotten all the ladies with that thing:
My first car was a 1969 Chevelle SS. Tan -2 door. Ran like a scalded dog. Totaled it 6 months after I got my license. My second car was a Mustang II it ran like a model T. Could have gotten a '68 Camaro SS but mom was a fraid I would kill myself.
I'd post the pics of all three but I really am not good at that stuff.
You could think of government workers like teenagers. You pay them an allowance, but do you get any work out them? They eat the food, put their feet on the furniture and complain loudly whenever they are unhappy.

wow... you're lucky you lived through that (I'm sure you know that). Those older cars weren't exactly four-star safety rated. I totaled a 1990 Nissan pickup truck with only 2000 miles on it in Sept. 1990 and almost ended up in a pine box as a result doing something very, very, very stupid.
