First Car?

[Lagmonster]

Fortunately, I have to deal with neither....ah...the joys of being gay....and punishments COULD be a good thing....!

They are never a good thing. At my height, Moby and the Twins are at perfect punching level for most women.

My first car was a 1977 'Lightweight' Land-Rover, that looked a bit like this;




Except mine was painted black (except where it was rusty). As an ex-army radio-truck it was fitted with 24 volt electrics, which tended to melt standard componants.
The first week after starting a new job, I managed to reverse it into one of my new work-mates' honda Civic, doing £1000 damage to his car, and possibly a small flake of paint missing from the rear bumper of the Land Rover...
I was once pulled over by the cops for driving at night without lights, I'd stupidly turned the knob the wrong way and was in 'stealthy' convoy mode (the street lights were bright enough that I hadn't noticed). There was also a 'night vision' mode, though the IR lights had been removed.
The thing had two fuel tanks, with a switch to swap between them. I once ran out of fuel and had to get a tow from a passing Range Rover to get home - only to later realise that I had plenty of fuel in the other tank (d'oh).
Refilling the tanks involved lifting the drivers and passengers seat cushions to get at the tanks underneith.
The brakes once failed when I was going down a steep hill, at the bottem were three cars, stationary while they waited to turn at the junction. No room to pass on the left, passing them on the right would result in me hitting the turning car, so after a half second of thought I aimed straight for the hedge - while my passenger screamed, as I hadn't had nearly enough time to warn him (he's now my manager at work).
Sigh, I miss it still.

All I have now is a boring old Vauxhall Cavalier, which replaced the Ford Sierra I wrote off when I flipped it on it's roof.

Okay, not QUITE the punishment I was thinking of...

White Toyta Tercel 1985 4 wheel drive wagon
Standard transmission, 6 gear transmission (5 normal, 1 extralow), with a whooping 64 horsepower (so it could only reach 100 if it drove over a cliff) Good little stationwagon, it better last me through college!

Considering some of us have favorite Cars lets see what peoples FIRST cars where

Post pictures if you have them, if you don't just surf over to Ebay and run a search based on the model name

Like for example MY first car happen to be a

86 Dodge Aries

0-60 Was somthing one did with a weeks planing but you could take 20 Mile an hour turns at fifty and not squeel the tires


What was YOUR first Car?

This is really freaky...

My first car was an 85 Aries of nearly identical color to yours. My second car, bought a year later, was an 86 Aries... and the color was so close you had to see both next to each other to notice the difference...

Did yours come with the Spiffy
AM/AM radio?

Or the Park Bench Seats?(I've proablby slept a month all total in that car on the bench seats)

First car was a 1989 Honda Prelude, BRIGHT Banana Yellow. I loved it, it was the perfect security system...who is gonna steal a fucking yellow car?

[Alferd Packer]

An '86 Camry with a 95-hp (at its PRIME) engine and a distributor that was 5 degrees off for the last 4 years. When we finally fixed it, it was like I had dropped a turbo in there. So I figure I was running around 70 hp before that.

Now I've got a '97 Nissan 4x4, and I plan on hanging on to that for a very long time. It's my ideal vehicle: hauls lots of cargo, goes just about anywhere, and it only seats 2 so I don't have to drive hordes of car-less people around.

Yep.

[The Yosemite Bear]

'54 Volkswagen, very Okie Fixed (Reinforced frame, brush/rock catcher under the front bumper) oversized tires, and other annoying mods. Can you believe I paid my mom a dollar for it as part of the legal transfer of a vehicle from Parent to offspring, allowed under DMV regulations.

[Stuart Mackey]

Hmm so he knows to stay away from Diesals

Hmm what other sage advise could we give HIM Mackey?

No poking yourself in the eye is a good one

No eating from containers marked in red is another.. hmmm, what am I forgetting?

I think that HE should be wary of loose women, you never know the milage or the quantity and quality of previous owners.
He should never walk near a tree with nesting magpies in it, lest he be dive bombed.
Nor should He attempt to play with skunks, lest he become the object of ridicule and a social pariah.

[Mr Bean]

Indeed as the six page starts Indeed I say, I learned all to well at the tender age of six not to pet skunks


Fokes just say no to skunks!

[greenmm]

Did yours come with the Spiffy
AM/AM radio?

Or the Park Bench Seats?(I've proablby slept a month all total in that car on the bench seats)

Had the AM/FM radio in the first one. I think the second may have actually had a tape player as well.
