Well lets see I bought a '96 Chevy 3/4 ton 2500 as my first vehicle. It was such a POS I never took a picture of it

I thought its days were done until me and my uncle changed the intake gaskets, then it ran for a few more miles and the damn clutch went out

So I said fuck it, sold it and bought a brand new Chevy Colorado, and already have the sucker paid off

A 1974 AMC Pacer.

Not really!

First car was a '69 Mach 1, which I bought from my brother for $600 in the Summer of '77.

A 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne, bought in 1982 in Napa Ca. with 65k miles.

4-door
6 cyl/235 cu in.
manual "three on the tree" shifter.
Blue

You can see that car, and me, in several season 1 episodes of Crime Story. That car made me much more than I paid for it. It was in perfect (caveat paint) shape, and I really wish i still had it.

It was like my own personal time machine. I spent thousands of miles just f-l-o-a-t-i-n-g down the road. Mancave? Living room on wheels.

1984 Buick Grand National. It had T-tops and the digital dash (which looked cooled but didn't tell you shit). It was a beast when it ran right. If it was an 86 or 87 I would have kept it. Finally traded it off for a big block Suburban 2 years ago.

1979 Pontiac Trans Am in white. Bought it in 1986 while a sophomore in
high school for $1800. I drove it till 1991 when my BIL bought it from
for cheap and he drove it to work for a long time after that. Shortly after I bought it my dad's boss gave me a 1975 Blazer that had been a shop truck. I still have that Blazer. I used to tool around town and to school in it when it was warm weather with the top off. I drove one or the other back and forth to school everyday till I graduated, no bus where I lived.

1978 Fiat Strada. I know of no shittier car in the history of mankind.

It was 100% plastic. The seats were plastic. I remember one unbelievably cold morning, when I got in
and sat down the seats cracked.

It did not have a heater.(well, it had one but it didn't work).

This was my first car, a 2001 Monte Carlo SS. 3.8l V6 with a cold air intake and custom tune, it was okay..Since it was my first car, I beat the ever loving shit out of it and it never complained..Never had any problems at all with it and it returned a solid 32 mpg on the highway.......It was the reason I "upgraded" to a 2006 Monte Carlo SS with a 5.3l V8...Unfortunately GM didn't really "upgrade" the transmission enough.
