This car was minimalist high revving fun

I thought it was fast and 2nd gear was a kick, revving up to 8k if memory serves... I was heart-broken when then girlfriend smoked me in quarter mile in her VW whatever... I eventually wrapped her (the car) around a pedestrian crossing sign trying to dodge a station wagon that pulled out of a driveway while I was out looking for trouble and cruising 100+mph at 2am with a buddy

oh yeah, due to the wonders of google, you can all now see the pedestrian sign I once mangled... coincidentally in front of my old middle school

83 Nissan Sentra

Got it new after high school graduation as a reward for getting a full ride NROTC scholarship, and so I could have something dependable to go back and forth to school in. It was the cheapest new car on the market at the time, which is why my dad chose it. No radio, no air, etc, $4949, and thus began my love affair with Nissans.

washed it twice a week, waxed it every friday. Riken wheels, with fwd offset in front and rwd in back for some stagger, alphasonik 100w subwoofer amp with a 12" sub in the back and an aftermarket bose system with clarion headunit doing the rest of the music work (this was back in 85, before subs were popular!)
Had a test pipe from an 80 210, aftermarket front bumper from an 80 celica and a universal rear wing.

It still looked showroom new when it was stolen 4 years and 125000 miles after I got it.

1991 Range Rover

Don't remember a lot of this car. It was supposed to be my hand-me-down first car, but it fell apart a few days into me driving it. Was replaced by a newer model Range Rover, that still broke all the time. But I LOVED this car, and when I drove it, I was fearless :stirthepot:

First Car

Mine was a 1964 Plymouth Barracuda. It was my brother's first, my sister's second and then mine. It had a 273ci V8 with Torqueflight trans and not much of anything else. I found a picture on-line, even though there were cameras back in the day.

1978 Trans Am, Martinique Blue. 400 w/4spd manual no T-Tops.

I have pics somewhere....

Ok, I'll play. This should be good for some rep! lol

My first car,

1979 Chevrolet Chevette
Color- School bus yellow
HP - 70

I bought the car in 1989 or 1990 for $800 certified. I beat the living crap out of that car for the short period of time I owned it. I replaced the engine, trans, and exhaust for $140 all in. Beat on it some more, then replaced the timing chain. Then beat on it some more and sold it before going to college for $600 as-is. That car owed me nothing! lol

I will now hang my head in shame... My first car was brutal compared to what I'm seeing here!

This is not a picture of my car, but it did look just like this.
