My first ride never got to drive. It was a 1971 Chevy C10. Got it as a give from my grandfather who bought it new and before I had my license my dad deciede to drive it to work and it was stolen.
So the first vehicle i had that I was able to drive was an 87' Dodge Shadow

1969 Chevy Impala 4 dr post car, back in '73. It was a repo at the local bank and had a smashed fender. I stuck a white fender on that crappy looking blue car and thought I was something. In my garage now, resides a restored 69 Impala SS-427. Now that car really is something.

'87 Plymouth Caravelle (K-car), inherited from a customer of my dad's that didn't want to put the money into fixing it (dad owned a repair shop). Drove that 6 months before buying a Chebbie 1/2 ton and haven't driven a car since.

first car was 79 t-bird with a 302. beat the crap out of tht car! Its shining moment was when i had to tow a jeep home from four-wheeling. low point was engine catching on fire at the end of my street and not being able to open the hood since the release handle was broken off.

I inherited my grandfather's farm truck 1978 F-250 4x4 with 7 1/2 ft plow 400 engine 4 speed all beat to heck and death wobble, checked a fuse one day and 50% of them were foil gum wrappers, blew the engine, put another one in and sold it, bought a used 1987 4cyl ford Ranger 4x2, that was a step down, lol
