2004 Mazda 6, 3 months later my dad bought me a 2007 mustang V6, traded that in for a 2008 Mustang GT/CS in 2010. Then finally bought my 2015 Mustang GT on my own.

I don't have any because this was way back in high school and nobody had cameras... or phones.
First car was a 1990 Mustang LX with the fire-breathing 2.3L, in 1998. Cost $2000, my dad actually took my money and bought the thing even though it had a blown head gasket (it belonged to somebody he knew and he was apparently trying to do them a favor). I made him pay the $600 some shop charged to put a new head gasket in it!

Somewhere in my moms collection of old chit at her house is actually a VHS tape of my first car.
It was a 78 Camaro with a 350. At the drag strip against a new Vette. This was probably about 93. It wasn't my car yet and I was 15 so my dad was driving it. The damn thing was overheating from the 30 mile drive to Kenosha.
Against the Vette though it lost by only a couple tenths. I know that is pretty slow by today's cars but heck I was happy to get it!
Once I got it I fixed the overheating problem!

1990 F-150, 300ci inline 6, 2wd, automatic, with a 3.08 open diff. Dad bought it new, he passed when I was 15, and I started driving it when I got my license. We took a lot of family trips to the lakes/rivers towing the boat with this thing as a kid, ended up trading it in for my '07.
I bought my second car a year or so ago (first one was a gift) it is a 1989 mustang lx it had a 2.3l in it and i payed a whopping $900 certified for the car. I just finished dropping a 302 c4 and 8.8 in the car and im just working out the kinks and breaking in the new engine goes a little better than the 2.3 ahah
Wouldn't take much, my brother had a '94 Escort LX that would beat my 2.3L LX in a drag race...and my car even had mods

My first car was a 84 Mustang GT, with T-Tops. It had a motor that was so heavy, the body was dropped. I only had it for a few months, as i sold it for much more then i purchased it for. An x-girl i was dating sold it to me for $800. It was a car her brother left behind when he went off to college. I wish i would still have it today. I sold it because i had too many parking tickets, and had to pay them off. Price for living in the city of San Fran.
You're not the first I've heard of dominating bracket racing with a 2.3L fox. They're consistent as hell because they always launch cleanly.

I hope those dreams involve something going on in the backseat!

Hahaha. No... The backseat in that thing was tiny. Seated two high school lackeys quite uncomfortably. Didn't matter though. Fun times.
