View Full Version : What was your first car?
Mine was a white `66 Bel Air - 4dr. 283ci - 3spd on the floor. Bought it in 1978 for $350 and had no idea of how to drive stick. My cousin went with me to buy it and told me that he would drive it home and teach me how to drive it. (I was 17) As soon as I gave the guy the cash for the car my cousin ran to his car, got in and, as he sped away, yelled "Good luck"!! It was 5 milles from the house and it took me almost 3 hours to get home! It was in Vallejo which had a lot of hills and stuff so I obvisouly dumped the clutch a ton of times before figuring out the timing of the whole thing. The car turned out to be a gret first car that lasted a couple years until it went up in flames due to an electrical fire.....:(

AGE? Read the second sentence of my post again. Nope no pictures, that was back in 1969-70, somewhere in there. I was too busy trolling for female tourists, no time for pictures.
