Harrumph harrumph harrumph! You kids get offa my lawn!



So as to not hijack the other "Kids driving big trucks" thread and give this one a life of its own ...

What was your first vehicle? Car or truck, beater or new, doesn't matter. Let's hear it.


Mine was a junebug green 1973 Chevy Impala 4-door with a trunk big enough for a Mafia hit man to hide several bodies. Loved it. I got it in 1982 and it was my grandmother's and, literally, she drove it about two miles a day from her home to our store or the church. I think it had about 10,000 or 11,000 miles on it and was in pristine condition.

My second one was my cousin's 1979 Firebird (I got hand-me-downs, which was fine). I drove it like I had robbed a bank with underage chicks beside me and a pile of coke in the back seat with cops, CIA, FBI, DEA and someone's mad daddy on my tail.

Then I got married and have driven more sedate adult cars ever since.

92 toyota 4x4 single cab with 131000 miles.

'75 f100 with a crushed in passenger door..loaner from my folks. Bought my first truck in '87 after i started working part time while going to a&m. '84 f150...351W and that would get it.

85 trans am Had to fix up to drive it. Turned into a show car 671 Blower on it with 500hp Nitrous kit. Drove it to High school.

67 Camero Bought to fix and flip in high School

69 Camero Bought to fix and flip in high School

98 Dodge ram would get stuck on gravel

95 Z71 One of the Best trucks, towed a boat all over the country

2003 Avalanche Another great truck Still drive bought used

2000 Tans am Still drive

69 Corvette Another Bought to fix and flip

Still haven't ever owned a New vehicle.

In 1970 , my first vehicle was a 1948 willis jeep , with flat head 4 cylinder. I sure wish I still had it now, I would restore it.

77 International scout II to high school...but for a short time before drove a 76 Ford pinto wagon 4sp in baby vomit green color

'65 F-250 4x4

It was passed down to me in '95 and was my dad's first truck as well back in '73.

(Currently sitting parked in the garden awaiting it's next revival.)

85 Toyota 4x4 with no power steering...still wish I had it.

97 maroon Toyota Tacoma 4x4.... Wish I never would of got rid of it

1972 Chevy C10 stepside pickup with a 327cu smallblock. It still had the original 3-speed manual transmission, but the shifter had been moved to the floor. Couldn't keep rear tires on that thing.

1978 Toyota pickup.

1988 Toyota 4x4......similar to this one

73 Plymouth Duster. It was baby blue with a long white strip down the side. Rocker panels and some of the floor board were rusted out. Inside smelled liked what I imagine Troy smells like after he lathers down with Ben Gay and dabs a little High Karate on.

I saved for 2 summers to get that car...$700 bucks. Drove it with my head held high like I was a rich snob in a Bentley.

I drove a 77, long wheel base chevy bonanza pick up truck. It would not pull a greasy string out of a cats a$$. Got stuck on dry dirt one time. One of my more embarrassing moments.

1970 Chevy Nova. Looking back it had lots of potential but I had no interest in fast cars in 1979.

'65 chevy swb truck. Tan, four different types mud grip ties (not 4wd) four different hub caps and an AM radio that only worked with a metal fork stuck thogh the dash vent to ground it. 1976, I was 14 and on top of the world.

1970 chevy cst/10 long wheel base. Bright green with white top. 350, V8, factory air. Cost was $1500 in 1996. It was the best deal I'll probably ever get on a vehicle. It was a one owner. I put a tree in the dead center of it. Took me 10 years to live it down.

1984 four door Buick Regal

First car that was mine I obtained when I was 17 years old in '94, a ''81 toyota 2wd long wheel base pick up with no a/c and no power steering. I did have a motorcycle from 15-17 that I was able to get 4 tickets before I turned 16 on. I'm lucky to be here for sure.

1986 Chrysler Laser Turbo...
