First car

[DownTheField]

'91 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with 185,000 miles. Had to get rid of it with 220,000 miles because it leaked about a quart of oil for every 50 miles I drove it.

2000 Chrysler 300M - still driving it today - approaching 100,000 miles

Mine was a 1990 Dodge Spirit with 180k on the odometer. To get the tires to squeal I had to put it in reverse first and get some backwards momentum and then quickly put it in drive and floor it. Now that I think about it I'm surprised it lasted 9 months before I destroyed the transmission.

Most "fun" car I had was a 1994 bmw 540i in grad school. Used to cruise around South Campus at UB and the surrounding ghetto neighborhoods blaring gangster rap. How am I still alive?

Wow. My second car was a '92 Dodge Spirit. My first car was a '90 Dodge Omni. Total chick magnet!

At least they didn't ask you if they could borrow it to go impress their boyfriends (see my post above about my first car)

'67 Mustang fastback, pretty close to the one Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt. Paid $1,000 for it in 1970.

'67 Mustang 2 door. Bought it in 1970 and paid $450 from a place near oil city that likely no longer exists. Don't recall the mileage but it was two tone blue and had a dent in the back. Got it up to 110 on Thompson Rd late one night. A bit embarassed about that. It developed valve problems and I traded it after leaving grad school in '74 for my first new car, a Plymouth duster. Traded the Duster a year later for a new fullsize Ford LTD, a magnificent boat of a vehicle.

77 Buick skylark ... It was a tank. I swear it drank gas after I turned it off.

Got it up to 110 on Thompson Rd late one night.

Did the same thing with my '68 Mustang, where I grew up. Amazing, the stupid things we do when we are young and invulnerable.

Something about that 289cc engine. I got mine up to 110 on the Crosstown Expressway in Schenectady. Didn't have the nerve to push it any faster than that.

1950 Oldsmobile Super 98 convertible, three speed Turbohydramatic with V8, cream, wheel skirts, power windows, station seeking AM radio , leather interior of course, one of the hotter cars in its day. I got it as a hand me down, had over 100,000 miles, which was a lot of mileage back then. Compression was so poor that to start it when the engine was hot it had to be parked on a hill and you coasted to about 15 or 20 MPH then put it in low. Exhaust was primarily tin cans wired together.
The convertible roof and I think the windows were hydraulically operated. under the carpet was a maze of tubing, car always smelled of fluid. Vacuum windshield wipers, when you stepped on it or went up a hill the wipers slowed down or stopped.
What great memories of the times we had , and what I wouldn't give to have it now.
So far I have the antique vehicle here, maybe I am the second oldest fart

 

[newmexicuse]

1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible bought used around 1972 for $ 200 buckeroos. The odometer was broke w over 100K miles on it, back in the days when a car would be lucky to go 100K miles.

The car got me thru a Cuse winter give or take a couple of jumps. Then it broke down one fine spring day on campus when the steering rod went. Fortunately I was only doing 10 to 15 MPH & did not get hurt. Car got sold for $ 50 scrap, but I guess I got my money's worth.

1975 VW Bus. Orange.

Good times indeed.

 

[Dnyr85]

1966 Chrysler New Yorker... A huge boat for a high school kid!

1989 Chrysler LeBaron - Nicest car ever put on the road. All awesome cars since are just a derivative of the 'Baron.
