Default Your First Cars Appearance!

Hey guys, i was just looking through some old pictures on my computer, and i came across some of my first car, im only 18 so it was only a couple years ago. I miss this car so much, everyone hated it but me,lol Calling it a POS and everything,haha I washed it once and waxed it 3 times a day for a whole summer/fall/winter.......best looking shine i had ever seen. It was a 96 Beretta with 26k miles on it and in perfect condtion.....i didn't have that much money for anything to make it look "cool" so i just shined the hell out of it. Its ok now though, i have my 01 SS! Everyone, if they can, post up a pic of ur first car!
Heres mine

No pictures but I had an '89 Dodge Shadow. The might power of the 100hp 2.5 inline four and five speed manual. The front sway bar was long gone and the shocks were completely worn out, so you'd go over railroad tracks and the car would keep bouncing for about a mile. It was like driving a cloud.

Well my first car was an 87 Olds Cutlass Supreme with the 5.0 307 Olds V8 in her.. Bought it when I was 14 and worked on it to make it look like new so it was ready to be a sweet ride when I got my license.

I think that V8 put out around 145 hp or so...lol but it sure sounded nice with true duals and flowmaster 40's with no cats. I remember I thought it was powerful and decently quick, then I bought my 94 z28 and my first drive in that I almost pissed my pants..lol...now an LT1 doesn't even seem like that much power to me anymore, after owning two of them and an LS1

Here is a picture of what it looked like.

This is not my car as I don't have any pictures handy of it, but it looked Identical to this:



Only difference was it had white letter tires and this style wheel:



Right before I turned 17 I sold it and Bought a 94 Z28, and then bought a 87 Cavalier for a winter beater, and then had to sell the 94 Z so I bought a 94 Grand Prix as my next car, which I sold 2 months later because I wanted something Nicer, and upgraded to a 99 Monte Carlo Z34. After that car I bought my 99 Trans Am, and then a year and a half after owning that car I had some debt I had to pay so I sold it and got into this 96 Z28.

Wow, Lol, this thread got the memories going, I didn't realize how many cars I have had. 7 Cars in about 5 years... I need to learn to keep a car I guess, haha.

First car was a 94 polo green Z28. Wrecked it into a ditch, mom wasn't too happy but luckily I got my hands on a 98 and have vowed to stop driving like a retard in it.

1. '85 Monte Carlo SS w/ the might 305 and a mind blowing 190hp estimated but i was probably more like 100 to the wheels ('01-'02)

2. '98 Ford F150 Long distance driving to school made me sell it but it was nice ('02-'04)

3. '05 Dodge SRT-4 Hit a cow while driving home at 3 in the morning, it will be missed. ('04-'06)

4. '01 WS6 (Sep. '06 - Present)

I know you didnt ask for the list but it got the memory going. Im only 22 so its still small, it will grow though im sure.

Granny's special, 91 Buick Regal, maroon inside and out. I got it after my mom drove it for 10 years and it started falling apart. It had those really cool 1980's velour seats in it, complete with a digital speedo, and peeling clearcoat.

Looked like this, only red with a flat hood and hood ornament.
