What was your very first?

Your very first vehicle you ever owned...1980/81 Chevy chevette (I don't remember if it was a 80 or 81) but it was a four door creme colored and pathetic no teenage boy should be made to drive such a sackless pos...but I'm not bitter

First was 82 Ford Ltd my grandparents gave to me. First Ford truck was a 1986 Ford Ranger with a 351W, ford 9" rear, Dana 44 up front, lifted on 33" swampers. Loved that truck from the day I first saw it, bought it off a friend at high school and drove it until a drunk driver hit me and totaled. Miss that truck everyday, tell myself when my son gets older we are going to build another one together.

A 66 Mustang bought with money from mowing grass. I was 14 and that car hauled me throughout high school, the Navy, college, dating, etc. I still have it today sitting in the garage. My sons and I are restoring it.

88 Camry Sedan (White) I inherited from my (Awesome) Uncle. (Totaled at 17 when I fell asleep driving in to work at 5am.)

First car I bought was a 70 Dart Swinger... (Dark Green) Loved that car! Eventually the engine went, (289,000 miles) and then it sat and rusted out.

My first car was a 1968 Mustang. It came with a 289, my dad and I put a 302 in it. It was so fast it tryed to push a tree late one night. Didn't work.
My first truck was a 1948 GMC truck my grandaddy gave me. We took the flat head six out and put a 350 in it. I have never been able to leave anything alone.
