Both stolen pics. I don't have many old pictures for some reason. First car was a '66 Chevy Biscayne. Favorite was a '72 Datsun 1200.

First car was a maroon 1974 Buick Lesabre - I called it my highway tank, because whenever I pulled up behind someone on the Borman, they usually moved over.
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...ckLeSabre1.jpg Second car was a gray 1976 Toyota Corona wagon. It was my first stick and I loved it. Also, the back came in handy one summer night...:doit: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...copower/00.jpg Third car was a mustard 1980 Datsun 210 - manual. I purchased it for $800 and it lasted me through my last 2 years at Purdue. By the time I graduated, I'm pretty sure it was only running on two cylinders . http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...7Jun08x600.jpg Fourth car was a blue 1984(?) Dodge Colt hatchback. Another stick, which I still loved. However, it was because it was a manual, that I almost killed myself. Long story. Sooooo, my next car was an automatic... http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...1247509829.jpg A 1994 Nissan Sentra 2dr with a spoiler. (Yes, it looked really funny on this car, but what did I know) This was my favorite car, because it was my first brand new car. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/100_0267.jpg Now I drive a 2006 Dodge Stratus 4dr. I like it because its more roomy than the Sentra. Its nicer for longer trips. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...ge-stratus.jpg |
My first car was a 72 (?) Vw Rabbit , $750 , I Drove it cross country 2 days after I bought it All over So Cali , Mexico , Up thru the rockies Back to Memphis , then for a few years , sold it for $350 ish
Great Little car , I wish I still had it Since then , mini vans , and currently a Mits Outlander , not a bad little ride Oh and MANY Co Pickups , currently 08 F350 Extended cab with a tool box body with 120916 miles |
Has to be and still is this:
68 Super Beetle. http://www.adclassix.com/images/68vwbeetlelivebelow.jpg |
Not my first, actually it was the third or fourth, but was always my favorite.......I had a 52, 57, 58, and 3, 59 Chevys.......

This stolen image represents my 1st car, and my sentimental favorite. Except it wasn't a GTI, just a plain old 1984 (silver) Rabbit. I loved that thing. Finally got rid of it in 1997 when I bought a 92 Golf from my parents. Liked it, but not as much.
http://open.salon.com/files/gti_side1240528595.jpg Now I drive this, which I also like, but I don't *love* it. Two years in and I'm already fantasizing about my next car, which I think will have to be something taller. http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...61972.1-lg.jpg Mine also has a roof rack and running boards, which makes it look a little bit cooler. And also distinguishes it from the other umptyzillion Glacier Blue CR-Vs out there. |
Cool. My 1984 silver rabbit was a gti. Had different wheels and a red interior.

At 14, my dad told me I could have the z if I restored it by the time i was 16
it rusted out from under itself, was full of bee hives, and I had no idea how to work on a car. I DID get it running and took a couple trips around the development before my mom sold it for $150 for parts. http://revelationamps.com/blog/uploa...0wi-719982.jpg that was a cool car. when i turned 16, I inherited my dad's 1979 rabbit http://www.cargurus.com/images/2008/.../pic-5918.jpeg then the drain plug fell out and the motor seized on the turnpike, so I got my sister's 66 mustang that she left behind when she ran away to SD with a one armed Biker (hated this car) http://www.mustangdreams.com/springtime-yellow.jpg I drove this for a winter, then fried the 3 speed tranny, and sold it for $750 from where it broke down. My mom got a new car, and I got her 81 diesel rabbit http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSCN0495.jpg i had that for a couple years...it was unkillable then i got a suzuki GS 850 http://www.bikez.com/pictures/suzuki...%20Hentzel.jpg then an 83 rabbit which i hated, then jinx's dad got me us an olds omega for $50 that was even worse ( had to keep it revved at lights...) can't find a picture that looks like it |
It's snowing and sleeting *again*, and all I can think of is wanting to be able to get back on my bike. Sigh.
