    Default First Car You Owned??

    This isn't a picture of my actual car, but I was thinking back about what it was and here it is exactly.. Car was a BLAST and I think I paid like 500 bucks for it like 18 years ago.. I had a big ass stereo in it that would bounce the hatchback.. haha

    this looks nice compared to mine. mine had plastic seats and was a 4-speed. i remember shifting to first gear up a hill on the highway. i only had to graduate summer school to get rid of it. then i got my sweet ass 94 mighty max. silver with chrome 15" that look a little bullfroged.

    wish i had a pic of mine.

    Hey genius, see how the thread is about "FIRST car you owned" not first, second, etc...

    This was mine, 1987 325i convertible. Loved it. But I had my Cuda before I had my license, it was just torn down for body work when I was 16 so never drove it. So I'm going to post a picture of it, too. lol

    This was almost my exact car, except mine was white, with a blue pin stripe. But same wheels I put on there myself when i was 16, cause the old ones were rusted.

    no. that was a pic of what it looked like. My dad used to build show cars when he was alive. Me and him worked on that car for about 2 years. He fully built the motor, restored the interior completely. Looked like it came off show room floor. Right before he passed away he was about to put about a 3k dollar paint job on it... It came up in a family arguement so my mom (i was 16 when we got rid of it) decided instead of letting the family argue, to just junk it!!!! haters in the family.



    That is the one car I wish I still had... I am looking at doing something like that or something like a 1933 ford coupe in his memory... Guess we'll see.

    Old School ftw.

    1996 nissan altima GLE. Some of the old schoolers might remember it i had a 6 inch tv and ps2 built into my dash and had it painted to what some people called space vomit.

    I dont have pics of the dash any more...really wish i did but ya.

    I miss that damn car.. sold it for 1000 bucks and i never should have done that.

    The best car in the world is a Paid Off car. I got the thing working with my dad at a body shop and it came in wrecked and i bought it off a guy for 300 dollars.

    Plymouth Lasers didn't offer AWD until 1992.

    1991: The Laser received anti-lock brakes, and the turbocharged engine could now be ordered with an automatic transmission instead of a manual. The Laser RS could now only be ordered with the 195 hp (145 kW) engine.

    1992: The Laser received cosmetic changes for 1992, and a new all wheel drive model joined the lineup. The RS Turbo AWD came only with a manual transmission, while the front-wheel drive version could still be ordered. There was also a freshening to the hood and front and rear fascias. The pop-up headlights were removed in favor of multi-form fixed headlights, making the car look more aerodynamic. The rear lightbar was replaced by two separate taillights. The RS model came with alloy wheels and other cosmetic differences. The RS could also be ordered with a Gold Package, which features gold trimmed wheels, pin stripes and graphics. These cars were rare as only limited numbers were ordered.

    1993: All wheel drive Lasers could now be ordered with an automatic transmission. With the automatic, the power rating of turbocharged models dropped to 180 hp (134 kW). All Lasers except for the base model could be equipped with anti-lock brakes.

    1994: Production of the Laser was halted in June of this year, due to poor sales. Nothing, including the price was changed. Production was very limited, making 1994 Lasers very rare.

    Not actual car, but a 1981 Honda Accord 5 speed. Got it when I was fourteen to build as a road race car, but couldn't get it running so threw it away (literally, crusher!)

    I guess my REAL first car I drove a lot was a 1989 Civic race car (SCCA ITC) My parents were so happy my first car had a 6 point cage with big door bars, a Kirkey seat, and 5 point harness lol.

    ok so this isnt my actual first car because ive had a 86', 88', and 89, but those fuckers never wanted to get fixed, so i sold those, and bought this 87', which i still have today, reason being mainly because i have dont do much to it, replaced almost all the interior and starting working the exterior now

    The First car I ever owned was a '71 Nova.


    EDIT: I take that back, I had a 76 Camaro with a built motor my dad and Tommy built awhile back. Dad gave it to me, but we ended up selling it to fund other projects.
