What was your first car/truck?

My first car was a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Had 60K on it when i got it and all it took to get it roadworthy was new gas a catalitic converter (fell off on my way home, damn that iron duke is LOUD!) Drove it all thru school. I loved that car, was built well, got great fuel economy and it was very comfortable.

My first was my 82 F100 I bought when I was 15, in 1999, for 500 bucks...
Had a 300 inline 6 and a C4 automatic. I was your typical idiot teenage boy in that truck, I jumped it over railroad tracks, tore through bean fields on several occasions, ran over countless mailboxes and garbage cans. God only knows how many times that truck survived me putting it to the floor in neutral and slamming it in drive to make the tires spin, that was the only way she'd burn out.
The 300 six died at 247,000 miles. It leaked a lot of oil, I was in a hurry one morning and didn't check it, she ran low on oil and spun a rod bearing on the way to work. I drove it around with a clunking rod for a couple months before she finally stuck the number 4 rod through the oil pan.
I still have that truck, its just been laying around in several hundred pieces for the last 5 or so years waiting for me to finish putting it back together.
Here's the other 3 rigs that came after her...
Aside from my 4 Ford trucks the only other thing I've owned was a 93 Buick Lesabre, it was my moms car and I got it real cheap when she bought a new one.
