my first car was an 87 Camry I bought from my ex gf's (love of my life at the time lol) dad for $800 when I was 18. I was teaching her how to drive standard and she put it in the ditch, bending a rear control arm, and the whole time I owned it it dogtracked down the road. Only front wheel drive car I've ever seen that would go through a set of rear tires in about 2 weeks haha. I used to go to the local garage and pick through his used tire pile and get him to put something on the rims hahaha. I carried 4 full sized spare tires in the trunk. Man I changed ALOT of tires on the side of the road....

That car was unkillable, we named it Marcy and it kinda developed it's own persona.....everyone knew it as Marcy lol..... I got T-boned at an intersection and it was no longer fit for the road, but I still have it lying ON ITS SIDE in a garage behind my house

First car was a 99 Ford Taurus which I got at the beginning of my senior year of high school. The car started out great, can't count how many "ricers" I made eat my dust but it eventually started to become a pita to take care of because of the stuff I had done to it over the course of 3 years and it turned into the classic Ford pile of **** with wheels. But I fixed it up anyway good enough to last awhile and gave it to my brother who needed it for his starting family and bought my truck. Because of my truck, I'll never Own anything but Dodge.

79 Mercury Bobcat. Bought for 100 bucks off a car lot because it was on 'death row', back lot of cars they couldn't get running. Eventually found a plugged fuel filter. Bought it at 15, sold it before I got my license to buy a 76 Dodge Ramcharger that needed a tranny...never had a Dodge w/o transmission issues...lol...and I keep coming back

Sadly i don't have any pictures to show, but i had a 1999 OLDSMOBILE Eighty Eight, with a 3.8 L V6 front wheel drive, it was literally a grandma car, as it belonged to my grandma before i got it when i was seventeen. it only had 44k miles when i got it, she had crashed it a bunch (minor stuff) so it was no looker lol, all in all it wasn't too bad a ride, but i never ever drove a girl in it, and never would, now i am happy to have my Ram, and will gladly chauffer girls anywhere lol.

oops need to add, even though it looked awful, i still put rice rocket civics to shame! even in their ugliest forms american GM could still put together some muscle. it was an undercover racer lol
