Your first ride?

Unlike Dmek's kids (spoiled rich mofos;)), most of us had pretty shitty first cars. Post pics of your first ride here and give a description of all the "features".

1986 Pontiac Sunbird station wagon (http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/1986_Pontiac_Sunbird.html) (same one as the pic in the "i'm getting sued thread). This wasn't the actual car but you get the idea.

LOL nice thread

I rocked a '79 Oldsmobile Tornado (http://www.intramarkt.nl/makethumb.php?pic=uplimg/mb100006_972698019_mainpic.img&w=500&sq=Y)for my first ride.

My 2nd wasn't much better, a '79 Mercury Grand Marquis (http://www.imperialclub.com/Articles/Exner/Jr/1979GrandMarquis.jpg).

The Merc was a horrible lime green, you could see me coming from a mile away.

Both of them could really fly though.

My first ride was a convertible. I souped it up, 22 inch "gold" plated rims. Name engraved in the seat. Great mileage

Here's a picture (http://www.retropedalcars.com/images/Marx-Big-Wheel.jpg)

:)

Seriously though, Honda Accord. Served me well for 14 years and then just totally crapped out on me.

I rolled in a '85 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

Mine was gold though because I was such a pimp.

It had sagging ceiling fabric on the inside.
No AC.
A rockin' electronic dashboard that was completely possessed. Sometimes it wouldn't even turn on and others the gas meter would show two bars(pretty low) and then 4 bars(pretty high). It all depended on the grade.
The bad boy did have a smokin' motor and was tank though.

My Grand Marquis also had the sagging ceiling fabric. I ended up ripping it down and I constantly had foam crumbs falling on me.

The best part though was the stereo I installed myself. The stereo was too small for the slot so I crammed a bunch of old towels under it to prop it up. And then I had one of those cassette adapters so I could plug in my pimpin' CD walkman, but it didn't have anti-skip protection so I had to hold on to it or set it in my lap when I drove around.

I pimped this:

Ladies adored me, haters hated on me.

I drove around my sister's Geo Storm while she was in college.
This isn't my car, but it did look just like this, same color and everything :vomit::

When I turned 17 my parents gave me this beauty (again, not actually my car). A 1983 navy blue Chevy Blazer with rally wheels.

I was born in late 1982, so there is a very good chance that my car was actually older than me.
I loved that thing, until it decided that it didn't like to start if it was under 55 degrees outside.

65 Mustang!

Sounds awesome but it was ugly!

I got it for $1000. It ran very well and there was no physical damage to the outside of the car. Unfortunately it was an ugly primer color. The front seats leaned so far back I had to put 5 gallon buckets behind them to keep them upright. It had a crappy radio which would fallout if you floored it.

God I miss that car!

Beautiful ain't it.

I think everybody had the sagging fabric. Its amazing with all the technology they couldn't make a glue strong enough to hold cloth.

Probably the best feature mine had was after driving it for a while, if you shut it off, it wouldn't start for about 30 minutes. It had something to do with how hot it ran and the starter seized up I think. One of the most embarrassing moments with it was when I went to trade it in to get something else, I parked at the end of the lot. I was about 200 yards away from the sales office and the guy said " Just drive it right up here and I'll take a look at it." When I went back to get the car, of course it wouldn't start.
