What was your first car ! Give us some background.

I had a 1994 Geo Metro 1000 cc 3 cylinder Suzuki motor. EFI . 2 door hatchback. 5 speed
I purchased it to teach my son how to drive a stick. Well the car sat at my works parking lot for
more than 4 years not being driven. So one day I asked (Bob) if he was interested in maybe selling it.
He told me it did run. And he would take $400 for it. I got the key from him and looked it over.
dirty but not too bad. I purchased a battery for it and installed it. Car turned over fine but would not start.
He checked it out and found the fuel pump was bad. So HE replaced it for me (free) And we dropped the tank
and flushed it out. Hooked everything back up, car started right up and ran fine. Transmission was a little notchy
but otherwise it ran great. I fixed it up a little bit and put a big outlet stainless muffler on it. And I tell you what
that car had over 185K miles on it and ran like a top. It too would get rubber from first to second shifts.
It was only 50 h.p. And was constantly getting 52 MPG. I taught my son to drive it and then we screwed around with it
for another 9 months when the guy I purchased it from wanted it back. I sold it back to him for $950.
Damn fun car to drive. If I had the chance to get another one like it in good shape I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Great car....

My first Love: 73 Pontiac Grand Am with the anemic 400 small block. I received a small inheritance and bought the car. Got a Holley carb, headers and 50"s on the rear (That's what us old timers called 295's back then) with Cragers all around. Spent the entire inheritance in days, LMAO. I was 16 then. The funny part is I did not get my drivers license until I went to the Air Force, 2 years later. I made the Suffolk County cops on Long Island earn full salaries. They were happy to see me go to the Military, LMAO. I think I will return to Long Island when I turn 80 and help them get salary raises again.

One of my first cars was a 73' Grand Am with the Pontiac 400 and mine was pretty fast but of coarse it ran out of steam around 5500.
One thing I loved was I could fit 10" wide rims with 30" slicks without any modifications to the wheelwells and no rubbing issues.

lovin' the diversity of the cars!

my first was a 1974 Impala, what the big-wheel guys would call a "glasshouse donk"... 2dr with the big quarter windows and convex rear window. My grandfather ran his own shop, and had taken it in as a partial payment for some other work he'd done for a good customer, and sold it to me for the cost of the parts for the rebuilt transmission($350). 350 4bbl/350th, and ran like a scalded dog! lost my virginity , and a few others almost lost their lunch in it, but the thing seemed to enjoy the abuse! one of the only times I actually drove it like a civilized human being, the #1 rod commited suicide by throwing itself through the oil pan....sold it to a scrapyard for $15😳... really miss that car, and oddly enough, I see more of the caprices these days than the Impy's...

This story begins with a 87 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. 3.8l RWD with the Plushy interior. No mods nothing special about it. The car the got the most treatment was my '13 Focus ST. That I wrecked when I fell asleep driving.
