my first car is my 420a drag car you see today

 

[zerodsm96]

1988 Chevy Berretta GT, 2.8L V6, 3 spd auto. TOTAL piece of crap.

 

[Pirrofab]

1974 Chevy Vega wagon with a 267 small block chevy swap instead of the 2.3liter 4 cyl they were equipped with. Built it with my dad while I had my learners permit then that winter I parked the car and put in a 400small block. Blew it up 2 weeks later when it overheated then purchased a 89 chevy suburban and kept the Vega while I slowly put it together fully built. Now it runs 12.3 On a very simple set up. Sold the Suburban to get the Talon. Still have the Vega but I'm trying to sell it to pay off student loans and build the Talon some more.

93 Eclipse GS 1.8L

Bought, tune up and a good wash/wax. Sold for $500 more than I paid to buy another DSM!

 

[XyoungmurdaX]

96 gst

 

[roughidle]

87 Dakota 2wd
90 GST (current)
98 Ram 1500 4wd (current)
73 CJ-5 (current)

I still have the Dakota too, but the dream to build the Pro-Street drag truck still stands in the back of my head.... I've had the truck for ten years now, drove it through high school, bought most of the parts to do the build, but college, marriage, children, and a DSM all got in the way.... but the ride was well worth it!

 

[american-rice]

65' Mustang.... I wish I still had that car. Many good times. That car would turn 100 more heads than my DSM. But my DSM would smoke it any day of the week.

My first car was a 92 Cadillac Deville. It was fun to drive and surprisingly easy on the gas. Flogged my friend's 88 Monte Carlo every time, pissed him off so much.

It developed electrical issues, which I eventually hunted down. Not a month later, one of the pulleys broke doing about 55 (don't tell Sammy Hagar). Power steering and brakes went bye-bye, which made it fun to get to a stop. I was lucky to be near one of the few places to pull off. Drove it home and it's still sitting right there.

Alongside it is the 93 Sunbird whose frame broke on me a few months after the Caddy died. Then I got a 95 Bonneville, which I'm still driving while the Talon is down for maintenance. Bought it for winter, but it's been doing more sitting than driving!



Also, if anyone wants the Deville or the Sunbird, just let me know.

My senior year of high school, I bought a 93 chevy beretta. It was a TOTAL ricer car complete with crappy fin, empty gauge pillar, and empty fire extinguisher. Then I moved onto a 1986 Toyota Supra, and just a few months ago I bought my 93 TSI AWD. Needless to say, I'm never going back!

 

[TSITurbo95]

My first car is my 95 TSI, and still is my DD to this day . Absolutely LOVE IT to death!

1990 Ford Ranger-burn out machine
1992 Plymouth laser-Wooo Hooo!

My first car was a 1989 thunderbird supercoupe. 3.8L supercharged, built motor, lots of goodies. I was 17, stupid, and wrecked it. It was the car that I "learned cars" on... I went through EVERYTHING... motor, interior, exterior, it was pretty mint before I wrecked it.

Found the body of a 1990 thunderbird supercoupe 35th anniversary edition (with a 5-spd! less than 1000 35th's made with the 5-spd) and swapped my motor into it. I still have the car.

My third car was a Merkur XR4Ti, 2.3L turbo, really fun little car. I ended up selling it because I wanted the ULTIMATE 4-cylinder turbo car.

*I cant find any pictures of my xr4ti, but here is a picture of another one for reference.*

That's when I picked up my fourth car, my talon. I've had it for about 6 years now.

[ambush91]

my first was a Ford Escort , back before i even had a drivers license, traded it for a 1987 Suzuki Samurai JX , 1.3l 4cyl (63 hp back in 87, probably had 30 when i sold it ha ha), slowest vehicle in the world it had 33's on it and topped out at 55 mph. Bought my Eclipse GST last year, gigantic change form a 63hp beater to a 210 hp beast!

 

[wraoffroad]

i had a 88 taurus that i never got safe enough to go down the highway. eventually bought a 97civic lx. loved it till an old lady ran a red light and destroyed it. after a year i bought my talon. After i blew a motor i still have it and will never give up on it. damn unreliable thing.

 

[350war]

1978 Pinto wagon custom had the porthole rear windows and clown stripes. Even had the stock 8-track player in it. To many other cars to list some of the best '69 caprice with a 396,'78 cutlass with a built '70 LT1 350,'85 VW GTI with a stroked 1.8,'88MR2,'85 K10 with 12" of lift and 44" Ground Hawgs and now my '91 talon

 

[fergulus]

96 Pontiac Bonneville. The AC doesnt work, the drivers side window doesnt roll down, but it gets 29mpg at 100mph! Honestly, how can you beat that? Besides the blatant lack of style of course.

 

[Rex2342]

Mt first car was an 87 Ford Taurus. The heat didn't work, the heater core was blown so it spewed anti freeze onto the inside of the wind shield, and the transmission was screwed. It would run fine until everything warmed up but then I would loose all gears but 1st. I remember driving to school and every day at the same stop sign I had to drop it down into 1st gear to make it the rest of the way. It eventually caught fire one day and I had to junk it.

 

[Boosted97Eagle]

Mine was a 1989 Pontiac LeMans and all of its 74 hp !

 

[YeahRight564]

99 Pontiac Gran Prix /puke (sold before i even got my license)
