My first car was actually a truck (82 Dodge Ram), that I later traded for my first actual car (1970 Dodge Dart), which I still have.

The first car I almost owned was a 4 cylinder Cortina wagon. It was a total pile of crap but when you're 18 years old anything will do. A guy where i worked offered it to me cheap but after a week of driving a poo brown wagon I decided i didnt want it and he refunded my money-(luckily).

I ended up with a 1967 VW Beetle which sparked my obsession with 'CALIFORNIAN' style streeters. The little green bug got dropped within 3 inches of the ground, 'cookie cutter' 135's up front and 195's in the rear. The 6 volt system and 1300 motor went and a blue printed and balanced 1835 big bore motor went in with twin carbs, 'HOT DOG' exhaust and a piles of other cool bits which hurtled the car around at the 3 times the speed it was designed for.

I drove the back side out of that car for a couple of years and learnt plenty about cars from there on in. Good days.

RS or SS. Loved the 71 ss....

it was just a regular camaro (straight 6 w/ a 3 sp. on the floor). but it had the rs rear spoiler and split front bumpers.

split bumper was awesome.

[scr8p]

it originally had the standard one piece bumper, but somewhere in time before i got it the split bumpers were installed. it was a dead giveaway that they shouldn't have been on there, because it still had the larger grill, and it still had the parking light in the lower valance.

My first car was a '76 Chevy 3/4 ton P/u that was babby $h*t green. Sadly I kinda miss that truck. Too many good times

Like this but in red! I wish I still had this car, but I remember the gearbox was crap!
