First Car

[hershy314]

The idea for this thread came from Chrisdesign's thread named first car. Thought this would be a good place to post bout your first ride. Mine was an 86 Mazda B2000 truck. Got the truck for free on a bet. My Grandpa told me I could have it if I could get it running. I just threw in a fresh battery and some fresh gas. In just a matter of minutes I had it running. Getting it road worthy was another story. I had to replace the frame cause it was nearly rusted in half. The whole fuel system was replaced. I do often regret selling it, but needed something more reliable and needed the money to get it. Had plans to make it a nice cruiser.

My first car was a Honda Civic. Must have been something like this, I don't have a picture myself

my mum bought it after my father died,(1980) but really she was not a good driver so she gave it to us.
I learned to drive with it and we used it for several years until it was completely wasted.

Always liked those old Hondas. They didn't have much power, but they was tough as nails.

when I had to look for a new (second hand) car, I tested a Peugeot 205 that belonged to a young man.
It felt like a toy driving it!!

My first car was a 1965 Canary Yellow Ford mustang, all original with a six banger that I found in a little old widow snowbirds garage in Tucson Arizona. I have some photos of it but they're all slides that I have not converted.

That is a cool first car, even if it is yellow. Love old Mustangs. Growing up my Grandpa had a few of them. At one time he had 6 classic Mustangs.

My Pops was AF, and when we were being transferred to England I had to sell that Mustang..........I sure wish I still had her!
When when arrived in the UK, I bought an old Orange and Black Mini Cooper (don't remember the year). Had a blast with that car!

Those old Mini Coopers were nifty cars. In case ya can't tell I like the older cars.
