re: Your first car

1963 Impala SS
Black exterior
Red Buckets interior
NO AIR CONDITIONING...

First in my name.

1983 Nissan/Datsun Sentra. 4dr like this one except mine was baby blue.



I drove my dad's 1980 Toyota Tercel or 1976 Ford F150 Custom with a 300 straight 6 with 3 in the tree for a year until I saved enough money working over the summer to buy my own car. I really wished I would have kept the Ford.

When I turned 15 in 1981 I got a new GMC stepside pickup with custom royal blue crushed velvet button-tucked interior, chrome roll bar, gold Cragar SST rims, window louvers, Sony stereo, etc. I was going to put it in car shows but never got around to a custom paint job before I traded up for a 280ZX Turbo the next year. Then a 300 ZX Turbo my senior year. I was a little bit spoiled.

A mustard yellow 1976 Toyota Corona. It was as ugly as sin and the window leaked when it rained, but it had a good engine in it and got me from point A to point B for a year. I also had cow pattern seat covers in it. Only paid $150 for it. This was in 2000-01.



The car in the picture is in much better shape than mine was.

Had a love/hate relationship with this car. Not the actual car, but same year, rims, interior and paint.

1995 Bronco


I honestly couldnt imagine a better vehicle for a high school male


(not my actual bronco in pic)

You could have pulled the head and sold the head and intake manifold for more than that. A 75-78 model year 20R head is the most sought after by the guys who mod the Toyota 22R motors for off roading.
