I was looking through some pictures the other day and I found this photo. I know it was a Chevy, but it was still alot of fun! My next car was a 5.0 and that's how it started.
my first was a 1995 Ford Ranger 2wd. it was my DD till the tranny quit last week. then i bought a 1987 GMC Jimmy and lifted it 9 inches and put it on 40" tsl's. sold taht one about 2 weeks ago. i bought my stang 2 years ago OCT 28. my latest addition is my 1994 OLDS eighty eight that i paid $150 for...including tags and everything.
my only brand new vehicle is my 2005 King Quad 700... hell it was 7K i could have bought a nice DD for taht much
besides the stang my other first car (winter beater) was a 1992 Ford Explorer with a cracked block cost me $100 and took two gallons of anti-freeze a week and the oil was always full....even though it looked like chocolate milk...haha........ made me fall in love with 4wd...... snow and 4wd makes drifting and driving fun
2004 SVT Focus with european appearance package, cold weather package, etc etc (every option possible)... Got the car for 16k brand new, after 1000miles the clutch/flywheel BLEW up...dealer wouldn't fix it, said I did it because I was a new driver (BS, I had been driving on the road for two years and gokarts/race cars since I was little)...called SVT and they audited the dealer and made them pay for the repairs. Finally, after a whole MONTH of them having the car, we get the invoice which states "no future clutch/flywheel/drivetrain issues will be covered under warranty"... And to think there were a SLEW of TSB's out about this VERY same problem! So I take the car in again becaues the TPS sensor went out, they replaced it, then on the invoice stated "Will not honor future air/fuel warranty claims, air box has been modified"...funny thing is all it had was a K&N drop in filter
I kept the car for a while, but the clutch started going out again (this time more gradually lol) so I sold it. Turns out they recalled the clutch 4 months after I sold it. Bought the mustang for a difference of only $2,000 - yeah, I sold it for only $200 less than what I got it for 9 months later
Mine was rusted out 89 Ford Tempo. rusted sooo bad that i had to install sliding bathroom lock to keep the door shut while driving(door latch had fell out due to rust...).
then i got 93 Camry from my mother in 95. had that until 2001.
I don't have any pictures of it, but I had an 89 Probe-lem GT. It had a 2.2 turbo, and an automatic. I blew the trans two days after I had it on the road, and it sat at a trans shop for 6 months. Got the new trans, and it blew on the trip home. All in all, I had the trans replaced 5 times in that car the two years I had it, and only put like 700 miles on it. TOTAL CRAP. Bought the thing for $2600. Went out the last day it died, and bought a 91 Ranger for $300, and drove it for 4 years. Ford tough!
I dont think I have any pictures, I will have to look. It was a 96 Nissan 200sx auto. It was an alright first car. Got it with 124k on it and drive it till 145k which was about a year and a half. I also bought my Mustang after about a year of the 200sx then gave my sister the 200sx and got my dads 93 Toyota pickup 4 wheel drive with 212k on it
Here was the first car that I actually owned. Not my car, but same exact thing except wheels. 88 Ford EXP, for those that don't know it, basically a two seat hatchback Escort..
First car I drove in high school was a 78' Camaro...handed down to me from my brother. Built up 350, etc. If I ever find pics, I'll share them. Handled like a RV, but hauled ass in a straight line.
This was my first love .Bought new into the family by my parents in 1979.
A 1979 F-100 Custom EXPLOER half ton pick up.The only vehicle i wish i never got rid of !!!! Miss 'er to this day.It was from an era when trucks had styling unlike today. R.I.P .I sold the engine,and drivetrain,and little stuff,then sent 'er to the recycling scrap metal yard,just because i didn't want anybody else to have her...selfish me .
And the beast under the belly....Cleveland powered!!!
