The first car I ever owned was a green 1970 Chevy Nova. I was 18 and I bought it for $3,000 and owned it for about 15 years. The car I traded it for was carp

Shit, my dad's got one of these things. Can't wait to see it on the roads.

My first was a '99 Metro. Miss her quite terribly, but she went to a good family.

1972 Datsun 510. Dark blue. Bought it for $300 from an older neighbor of my grandparents in Edmonton when I was 16 (dating myself here but that was in 1984). It had the white dual stripes on the hood and trunk. That was a fun first car.

carp? You traded it for a fish? :)

My first car was a '74 Ford Maverick. While I'm older than most of you, it was still an old car when I got it. My father wanted me to buy it for nostalgic reasons; he used to have one brand new back in the day....

Anyway, after it completely lost its brakes going down the 2nd steepest hill in Kamloops, I decided to get rid of it. Replaced it with my first "sports car"... a 1981 Supra. lol.

I hear ya. This was mine. Still had a new car smell. The Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition next to it ended up being mine as well a bit after the rx7. I actually miss the Ford...I miss my rx7 to the point of making it my next purchase with 4 wheels hehe.

1977 Datsun 200SX - an unbelievably ugly thing that my Dad decided I should buy. Very tough car though - would be kind of neat to have one to kick around now.

1980 Chev El Camino is the first car/truck/??? I found and bought and it is "still" in my garage - getting to be a very rare item. Feels pretty weird driving it now though - literally floats (very soft ride) and has almost impossible to source tires now (225/60R14's). No computers, no air pollution stuff, roll up windows, hand activated footwell vents, 2 pumps to start when it's cold and has to be kicked down to get it out of it's fast idle. Also, so different to open up the hood and actually see just an engine.

I really miss mine too, sometimes at night I have dreams that I still own it, it's weird. :nut:

Had it completely rebuilt and tuned by RX7 Specialties, way back when their garage was still in an alley.

mine was the first a very good tuning shop back home had ever worked on. Also when I went and got my tint the guy actually said bring me some timmies once in a while and i'll do it for free since he'd worked on only one before ever and loved them. All in all I miss that car more than my ek, more than my integra, more than my accord and definitely more than my ford. I think I would honestly trade my Legend straight up for a good condition fc rx7 hehehe. As long as it would be a 1991 hehe. Hard to find now though....

1989 Ford Probe. First mod was rear window louvers, had it painted Dodge Viper red (1996) put on some Killer 6 inch wide vinyl racing stripes (1997), 15" ASA 9 spoke wheels, wrapped in Yokohama A520 rubber, sporting a Dynomax muffler for which I paid $450. They saw me coming a mile away.

Car handled great, owned it for 6 years put 120,000kms on it and have never owned a car longer.

1990 maroon 240sx hatch,

first one in high school to get a ricer ractive muffler... one pipe all the way from the headers, who knew a n/a KA24E could blow fire :facepalm: (this was in 1999 mind you, the first fast and furious 2 years away!). Blue lights in the footwells and on the headliner attached to the subwoofer terminals for that flashing 'club effect' lol

frame rail had a rust hole the size of a pizza pop, had to whack the starter to get it cranking on hot summer days, o-rings were leaking gas fumes into the car since day one.

But learnt how to drive rwd/manual tranny with it during 4 winters (with bald all seasons for 3 of those) and got me through grad camp too! the only idiot driving on the indian graves bumpy gravel road in a 'sports car'.
