First car

Jeke, believe it or not, someone at SPD just sent me a picture of you just after high school. I had no idea this was you!

Is this guy holding his dick hostage?

 

[edowd26]

I rocked a '94 white buick skylark. Would of had a '96 ford probe but my brother totaled it.

1970 Datsun 1200 fastback. It was the precursor to the Datsun B210. Soon afterwards Datsun became Toyota. The 1200 was a poor high school boy exuse for a Datsun 240 Z.

became nissan-yodas have always been yodas

gives us fine outstanding members of society something to talk about besides the turmoil that exists at the present time. mine was a 1992 2 door acura integra 5 speed, that beast would peel out in 1st and 2nd gears.

Mine was a silver and blue, 2 door, 1980 AMC Eagle with on-demand 4WD. Loved it.

Maybe not, Netman. 55 Ford Fairlane Convertible. Complete with fenderskirts and Hollywood mufflers. Sweet car.

Not quite. 55 Chevy 2-door hardtop. Metalic green body with cream roof. A real beauty! Only problem was that it was a straight six and not the classic Chevy V-8. Not very quick.

A 1978 Pontiac LeMans and then a 1977 Ford Maverick. The Maverick had an in-line 6-cyl and restored interior, but the body left much to be desired. Apparently it was a project someone never finished.

My white 04 Taurus SE which I currently drive. Bought it from my Grandma when she officially stopped driving in 2009 for $1. She barely went anywhere after about 07 so I got it with maybe 5k miles on it. Still only has around 18k on it now. It's a good little car.

1975 Chrysler Cordoba with Rich Corinthian Leather.

400 4B V8.​

Ah! A Ricardo Montalban wannabe, eh?

 

[Shenexon]

1965 Volkswagen Beetle. Was an adventure with the shift lever popping completely out on occasion, voltage regulator that liked attention, and with rumored brakes.

1989 Ford Crown Victoria...The road equivalent of a Sherman Tank

 

[Marsh01]

Ahhh, ok. My cousin had a light blue Omni identical to the one posted earlier in the thread. Think the one you posted is the turbo Omni which are rare and were actually somewhat desirable on the tuner scene for a minute.

Yea I had no turbo on the one I owned. I dont think it had the capacity to go over 75.

My first car was a 1953 Chevy--a field car driven off-road on roads through farm fields. I got it the summer after 7th grade. My first car on the road was in the spring of my junior year in high school--a 1960 Ford station wagon that I got for $100. It was nicknamed the 'Rolling Whorehouse' but unfortunately never got any use for that purpose.

A 1980 Dodge Aries K.

Sky blue. Bench seat, stalk shifter, 13" steel wheels with 155/13s to get all them ponies to the tarmac.

I got it in the late 80s from an old lady who was dying of emphysema. It had about 8,500 miles on it. The interior was caked with smoke residue and didn't have a single option on it - it didn't even have a passenger-side door mirror. I bought four Sears tires for it and was good to go.

It was a raging piece of s*** from the second I got it. My brothers and I thought it'd be funny to see how long it would take to get to 80, so we launched it down the Taconic. After about 12 minutes of seeing the needle waiver between 65 and 70, we sorta figured that 80 was a bridge too far for the blue bomber.

It was resilient, though. They used to have gas stations in the median of the Taconic. We were at the one just north of I-84 when my brother and I accidentally set the engine on fire.

We tried to top off the oil and managed to splash some on the exhaust manifold which set the entire works to blazing. It probably took three or four minutes until we were able to run enough water back and forth from the softdrink fountain to put the fire out. (Busy gas station parking lot right on a heavily trafficked parkway - car clearly on fire...starednot one person managed to offer any sort of assistance.)

We stared at the car for a while after the fire was put out wondering what to do - we ended up just closing the hood and driving home with black scorch marks all over the hood.

my dad had the same car , one of the biggest pos dodge ever made.

Hey, Tom. Did you skip the post about my '51 Dodge? Which you probably saw on campus more than once "back then?"

LOL! That's hilarious. I could tell you a story of a VW rabbit which was loaned to me and a friend by another friend during a party weekend visit to Boulder Colorado. My friend Joey was really abusing the car and as we pulled up to the host's house after a sushi dinner it caught on fire. We jumped the fence of pool and took the tub that had been used for the keg and filled it with water and doused the car. When Bobby (our host who loaned us the car) returned back to the house (everyone else had been dusted by us on the return trip) he just calmly came into the house and with a deadpan face said, "Joey, you torched my car" with that we tapped another keg and nothing further was mentioned.

1964 Dodge Polara. While it was an hand-me-down from my Dad, it was my car while in Syracuse. Unfortunatley I did not have the mag wheels in this pic.

 

[FranCuse]

'76 AMC Pacer that was lime green with a "3 on the tree." My favorite song at that time, when I was 18, was Bohemian Rhapsody. The first time I saw Wayne's World with my wife, she looked at me and said, "You're a visionary, honey."

93 Camry

 

[All4SU]

Model T. Black of course.

 

[SUintheVille]

1980 Chevy Citation...seemed like a cool car at that time.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Mazda GLC. 1981. Thing was the biggest lemon out there. Died on the NYS Thruway by Batavia. Had to have it towed to Rochester. Traded it in at Scutti for a brand new 'Vette as in Chevette. I was living large back in those days.

 

[brandokc]

82' Toyota Corolla with glorious amounts of rust and dents. One fine Syracuse winter the rear bumper rusted off but was still attached at the pasenger side. With the help of my brother I tried to yank it off with no luck. After a month of dragging it around the bastard finally gave way on Tipp Hill.
