1989 Ford Mustang GT in black. it was a 5.0 5spd. I beat that car every day I drove it! Only problem I ever had was a fuel pump issue. I beat it up til the day I totaled it into a guard rail at 120+mph and nearly killed myself! Its probably the reason I am still a mustang owner.

1982 gmc sierra with the turd 6.2 liter diesel motor. got it for 500$ no sooner than i pulled into my street the same day i bought it the crank flange snapped off leaving the flywheel/convertor to spin freely. priced everything out and simply couldnt afford to repair it or swap it. so i sold it for 200$ over what i paid for it. i kick myself for doing it now because the body on it was in pristine shape. this was the first vehicle i bought when i turned 16.

1974 Nova. It was baby **** green when I got it, but it didn't take long to change that. I drove it around primered for about a year before I got around to painting it. I did an interior swap with a '74 Monte Carlo to get rid of the green interior. It had a 350 with a Holley four barrel, so wasn't too bad for a first car. I would post up a pic, but I'm not sure ya'll could deal with the mullet. LOL!

some of yall had some pretty nice cars growing up! my parents bought me an 01 pontiac sunfire when i was 17. i used to be indifferent about it until my late buddy john got me into cars like a year later. then i decided i hated it and wanted to buy a trans am. i did everything i could short of wrecking it to get rid of it so my parents would get me one. im pretty sure i went a year and a half without changing the oil but that lil sucker still ran. anyways, long story short, gave the car to my sister and bought my 96 t/a last may for 3300 cash and ive been fixing it up ever since. its a shame my buddy never got to see me in it though =(

1st car was a '69 fastback Mustang but I never got it anywhere near driveable as I had no motivation.
1st car I drove was an '87 Suzuki Samurai hardtop convertible. After one year of owning it, the engine had the compression of a lawn mower and wouldn't go over 50 with a tail wind.
