My first car was a 1982 ford capri 'S' (the european capri, not the mercury)
it was in show condition when i sold it to buy my mustang.
still have the mustang but now as a side project i also have a 105e anglia, like harry potter, but mine is way way cooler (or it will be one day anyway!)

The first car that was actually mine (and still is) is an 03 Mach1, had to work my butt off to pay for it but so worth it, got it my junior year of high school. before that i drove an 92 acura legend that my dad blew the heads off of so it always ran really hot and a 15 passenger e350. haha yeah that is not a typo

95 gt conv. auto 85,000 miles
dad gave it to me for my 16th bday.
nice car pretty clean overall except the top leaked and never had the 5.0 power.


owned it for a year then traded it for the 96 i have now.
more miles around 107k when i got it,interiors not in as good of shape but the car looks great,runs strong and is a 5spd. overall much happier with the new stang.

My first car was a 1988 Chevrolet Silverado Custom Trucks of Texas edition. It had 300,000 miles on it and was a complete junker, but it still mine all mine. It was 2001 and I was 15 at the time. My mom paid $800 for it. I will have a pic of it up tomorrow. I have one somewhere.

The Year: End of 2001 / start of 2002

1970 Chevelle Malibu
$3500
McDonalds (First Job too, 6mo and I was gone, horrible place to be, good people, bad place.)
TH400 Auto trans
65' 396 with some goodies. Previous owner claimed over 500hp. It didnt have that though I didnt have a chance to drive it before I had to take the engine out due to horrible piston slap.

It was bored 0.060 over and they used the stock pistons again. I think it probably was lucky to muster 250-300hp. For the 1 race that I took it to I beat my friends 69' Chevelle Malibu 350 auto that was stock except an intake and carb. In a 1/4 mile I had him by about 4 or 5 cars though I lost brakes, blew my trans flew out of the dipstick onto the LT SuperComps and got a good scare from it.


Gone now, a total loss after thousands of hours and about $2000 more into it. Stolen.
