While it technically wasn't mine, my dad bought a 1980 Datsun 4dr from a coworker for $400 just before I got my license. The guy was going to trade it in on a new Blazer and that's all the dealership would give him so he offered it to my dad. I drove it like a 16 year old and it never let me down. Sold it when I was 17 for $1500 (yes, my dad got the money) to a hesher chick that totalled it shortly after. I can't find pics of it but it was just like this one - only lemon yellow. Not sexy.

Technically, my first car was a '35 Ford pickup. It was my main driver for 7 years until a careless 19 year old girl drove her Neon into it. Allstate (her insurer) owes me about $60k in vehicle damage and hospital bills and blatantly lied in court and paid witnesses to do the same. It was criminal. Even though that was over 10 years ago I clearly haven't let it go :x . It is currently in 1000 pieces in my shop while I collect parts for it's revival.

my first car was a 94 saturn sl1 i bought from my buddys uncle for 1400 bucks. it burned oil, coolant, and gass, but no rubber(unless you count the acc.belt). i wanted to soup it up and make it go fast. then reality hit me that theres nothing out there to make it fast becides an engine swap. so it turned in to a fan boy car and i would "pimp" it $20 at a time from the goofy sh*t sold at auto zone. i beat the sh*t outa it every day, and that why i had to replace the engine, trans, suspention, and soon to replace the worn *ss front seats with some junk yard ones.
my second car is the elky and my 3rd car was a 97 satty i sold for 1900 bucks profit.

1969 VW Bug, nicknamed Hitler's curse! My friends named it that cause it burn my friends butt on our way to a party. The car was slammed on the ground, so it was like driving a popcorn machine. He ended up grounding the rear seat on the battery and the seat caught on fire! No worries, I slammed on the breaks and yanked the seat out in the middle of an intersection. Good times!

My first car was my 85 Monte - here's what it looked like in 1998 when I bought it:

...second car was a 1984 Monte Carlo SS, which I had for a few years before selling it in favour of a 1993 Saturn SC1, which has recently been replaced by a 1996 SC1.

So nearly 15 years of driving and I've only ever owned two different model cars LOL

Pontiac Fiero, can't even remember the year. Then came a Pontiac Sunbird Turbo, 89 I believe. Next came the Buhog, an 85 LeSabre. I actually bought my 87 Cutlass while I had this car. Paid $3,750 for it with 59,000 miles in mint condition. Sound like a good deal?? After the Buick, I bought a 96 Dodge Ram and right now my daily driver is a 2006 Ram.

As you can see, I've always been a BOP kinda guy. Now that Oldsmobile and Pontiac are toast, I wonder how much longer Buick has???
