Default First Vehicle I Started Driving in

The first vehicle I started to drive in when I was 16 was a black 1986 jeep cherokee 4x4 2.8L which my parents bought brand new back in 1986..We no longer have it but I still see it around town now and then all rusty and stuff now.

When I got my full license at age 18 I was driving my parents car around which is a dark green 1992 jeep lerado straight 6 4.0L. It has over 100,000 miles on it and it's still going strong as ever. Then at age 20 I bought my very first vehicle which I currently have now (2001 Dodge Ram Sport 4x4). I somtimes have to drive the jeep when my Ram is often visiting the dealership for problems it has.

So I have been driving nothing but Mopar vehicles since day one. I almost bought a Jeep wrangler safari edtion but I decided to go with a big truck instead.

When I was 4 years old, my first vehicle was a Power Wheels 1988 Jeep Safari, it looked similar to the one above, but it was tan. It had a whopping 12-volt power pack! Featured dual canteens, fake CB radio, custom plastic rollbar, and coreathian plastic seat! Use to drive it everywhere, up a dirt pile in my yard, down our gravel driveway, you name it! It was a beast!

[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif] Wow you really had a head start! I never drove any of those things growing up..I would either ride on a lawn mower or when I was 14 I would take my parents Jeep and drive it out and around in our field.

I'm on my 3rd Grand Cherokee, and I couldn't bring myself to trade in my 99 Wrangler Sahara when I bought my current Ram Hemi, so I just kept it. Guess I've just got comfortable with Mopar SUV's/trucks. I had some problems with the antitheft key system on the Wrangler, but other than that no probs on any of them.
