A neighbor of mine has a Monte SS in her basement which is a high mileage car but which is also in excellent overall condition. I think I can get it for $2500 or less because it hasn't been driven in about 6 yrs and will take a lot of little shit to get running again. I think I ought to buy it though.

Just got my first car this year. Never needed to actually own a car when I lived in SF.

Never knew that there was a New Yorker Wagan, not bad looking.

I had a 67 baracuda

kinda looked like this till i got custom rims and tires. i put a 426 wedge motor in it, that took some suspension changing!

Same Here!!! :pimp :thumbsup
I fucking hated it.

Mazda MX6 :thumbsup

Same here, My first car was a 67 Impala SS convertible. but was baby blue with white bucket seats and I had two 18" Subs in it :pimp :1orglaugh :pimp

I traded it in on a Mustang, and stuck with Getting Mustang 5.0's for a while, then moved to Eclipses, Now that I'm grown up I drive Mercedes Benz.

That car is sweet!

Wasn't my first car, but in my mid 20's I had a sweet '72 ox blood red one. Just like this:

fiat panda 750 got it from my aunt for 1200 quid when i was 19

Very tough for me to fit in this, at 16, I was 6'8

Fiat Panda! I had forgotten about that car. While I was living in Germany, I had a friend who drove one just like that white one. Cramped, but good for getting around (barely) and no guts at all.

1981 VH Commodore

http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...0-image001.jpg

Was the same colour, bought it off a little old lady in '94 and it had the original tyres on it still and they were rock hard and it was like driving on ice with them on the car.

nice car, was reading about the MSRP.. made me pretty mad lol

http://i.imgur.com/UxABh.jpg first car here

1976 Plymouth Duster. I loved that car. There might be pics here from years ago, but I have to upload now. That car went in a straight line like hell-fire and brimstone. With drum brakes at all four wheels, the fucking thing wouldn't stop, but HEY! who gives a shit about stopping as long as you can go go go!!!???

My most insane car was a Carrol Shelby signature Dodge Omni GLH-S. Let go of the steering wheel. Floor the gas. Turn right ninety degrees instantly, and hit 60mph in under seven seconds. Fucking insane.

Useless, but nuts. I wish I still had that car, but it blew up and burned to the ground. Yes, Chrysler (and poor old Carroll) really sucked ass in the '80s. And unllike (like?) most Shelbys, you can buy one today for less than the scrap metal its made out of.

A fire-breathing piece of shit. It wouldn't turn, it wouldn't stop, and it wouldn't even accelerate in a straight line. Useless.

Renault 5 for me with snow tyres when I used to live in the French Alps, one almost like this car.
Was fun going up and down on snowy roads but shit on long journeys back to England.

your right, that beast with 5900 cmc will go broke everyone who is unlucky to drive it. But it`s a great car overall.:2 cents:

Not my car, but looked like this. 1983 TB..

http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/CIMG3057.jpg

Mine was a 1988 Ford Mustang GT Cobra Convertible. 5.0 of pure american made muscle car. I love that car but then Vanilla Ice started driving a white one in his Ice Ice Baby video :disgust

looks real nice and the car as well :)

Why shucks thanks.

When you had that New Yorker station wagon, you had a rare one! There were only 1,344 nine-passengers (Folding rear seat in the trunk well) built and a mere 950 6 passengers constructed.

Me LOVES 426 wedges but today unless you realy want to spend a ton for a real one, a built up 440 does the job to the max.

:thumbsup

and i bought it off a preacher man....

Orange Mini 1000... This is not my pic but it looked identical to this one.

Chevette 1980. I bought it for 500 bucks from a really old couple.

http://cache.jalopnik.com/assets/ima...evette-340.jpg

Goodness the original ones were adorable!.... if only :)

haha, I think I'd rather have yours. Mine used to break down all the time, always at the worst moment.

I could borrow the family Geo Metro whenever I wanted when I was in high school, but the day I graduated I bought myself a Wrangler. Dream come true at the time.

Its funny how you can tell which part of the world owner is from just by looking at pictures posted in this thread :)

Sweet ride :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Agreed :thumbsup

Here's mine, a blue Audi 80, cost me £400 & nearly £800 insurance. I bought & paid for it out of my own money at the age of 17, just a month after my birthday.

I past my test within 2 weeks of my birthday after taking lots of lessons. I passed first time with the chief instructor of Bedfordshire as my examiner :helpme

good..now you can pick me up for a ride in yer pimpett-mobile

This is the beauty I bough when I was 15 for $300. Blew the engine before I could even legally drive.

My First Car
 

Acura Legend Coupe

Not mine but very close. 1960 VW I bought for $200 from an old German Tool Maker that was a friend of the family. It was powder blue... I worked for a summer to make some extra cash to get it painted a metalflake green and put on the cragar mags.

Motor was stock...72mph top speed with a tailwind.
