My aunt had one of those Sentras. It was a nice car but it got so rusty the K frame decided to detach itself from the unibody along with the engine, transmission and front suspension while going 60 mph on the highway. It was a pretty spectacular way to go.
Not going to lie, I would have loved to see that unfold. From a safe distance...

My fist car was a 69 Malibu. 307, powerglide and a 10 bolt. sold it a few years later with a 355 th400 and 4.56 12 bolt. Selling your first car is one of those regrets you have in life.

My first car was an 80' Cutlass Supreme 2dr with the 260 Olds. I've had it since I was 15 years old (33 years), it's sitting in my garage waiting to be put back together.

Nope....My first car was an 84' Z28. Nice little iron headed 355 with a choppy cam and 10.5:1 comp. Th350 and 3:73s in the tiny 7.5 10 bolt... Went mid 12s and was driven to high school any day it wasnt snowing. The entire build was done for my senior project. Picked up summer jobs to fund it. I did everything including the engine rebuild and paint/body work with oversight from my pops. Guess it turned out alright for a 16yr old

My first three cars were A's. My '81 Monte that I've had since '90, a '79 Monte my dad got rid of on my while I was at basic training, my '72 Monte that I lost driving in icy conditions in 2000. I even have/had a MIA '81 Malibu wagon that disappeared in 2005 while I was in Iraq (the garage I rented was demoed & no one contacted me about it, land lord sold to another who did the demo), a '78 Malibu coupe that I parted in H.S. for parts for the '81 & '79. The only G's I ever had was a '86 parts car & guess the SS frame thats going to be under my '81.

I had a 63 Cutlass 4 door with the aluminum 215. I couldn't get it roadworthy though, so I don't usually count it, but officially it was the first car I ever owned. $25 I paid for it. No rust, one little dent. It was that bronze color with the white painted top.

My first car is a abody, 79 grand prix I bought in 1991 for 950. I still have it today but it is in pieces to be redone. It's in another state till I get some money to build a garage.
