Trappercase Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't know if it's been covered. My second year of university I had a 1979 Rabbit Diesel. Froze my arse off waiting for those glow plugs to turn off. What was your first car that was your own? Link to post Share on other sites

jmooney Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 1994 GMC Sierra K1500 Z71 - It was my high school graduation present from my grandfather, I got when I was 17, ordered from the factory rather than off the lot. He was a GM Salaried employee for 35 years so he bought it with his discount and his stock dividends made the payments. Thank God I'm not in high school now, I'd be walking everywhere. I sold it, and never should have. Damn I miss that truck. Link to post Share on other sites
DGilmore Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 1962 Mercury Comet...it did not look this good, but it was this color. I rebuilt the engine...I think it had 70k miles on it and was shot. Cars back then didn't go as far as they do now. If a car got 100K on it, everyone in the neighborhood wanted to know what you did to get there. Link to post Share on other sites

M V McDonald Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 1961 Ford...something. Big ol' wide boat that some farmer had painted with a brush and roller. Got it for $100. No parking gear so I had to use the E-Brake the release of which had a pair of vice grip pliers clamped onto it. Yea, she was a beauty. Traded her a year later - got my hundred back - on a '66 Ford Galaxy 500 convertable, my first chick magnet. Mike Link to post Share on other sites
