was that the actual car? i hope it still have the light on top of it

if i had a car that looked like a police car id turn on the lights and sirens all the time

Nah, that's not my actual car. I have some someplace, but I never scanned them in. Mine wasn't done up like a cop car either. We were going to, but then my uncle decided I'd get in trouble with it, so we just let it go back to stock. Then I sold it a bit later.

No thank you.

1957 Nash Rambler Custom Station Wagon Mine was red with white accents. Bought it in 1964.

Also bought a red amphicar, cuz the bridge was torn out for a new one that was to be built. We lived on Casey Key and the detour was a 25 mile longer trip otherwidse!!!

She was a real beauty.

1968 delta 88 in White with a black top. It had a 455 cubic inch engine. The engine was called the 455 rocket and was printed in red around the air filter cover. What a car I wish I had some pictures of it. Fast was an understatement. I had it up to 150 and could have kept going but i ran out of road.

My first car was a puke green 73 Mercury Comet .I couldn't put anything in the trunk,if go around the the corner anything in the trunk will fall out through the quarter panels which were rusted out.Plus you had to wait a few seconds in drive to kick in.I wasted $200.00 bucks on this turd.

Pontiac? That's a Daewoo, and they've been making them for years i actually drove 2 or 3 of them.
For a 3 cylinder, it's pretty fast, but the sound is totally wrong...and it will not corner properly...


my first car, which i still own was a 1977 Dacia 1300 (Renault12 phase1). It's a light car (925kg) with 54bhp.
guess i should upload a picture of it, right?

a 1976 Oldsmopile Cutlass supreme. It was 1984 and I had just turned 17. I was the second owner from old folks and it was a sweet ride.....except for the 8 track player....

1. Car Type - Make, Model, Year car was made
vw polo an't remeber the year

2. How old were you and/or what year was it that you got the car?
27 years old, 1998

3. Any unique things you remember about the car... fucked up paint job, trunk held down with a bungee cord?
the car cost 200 pounds, had bad brakes, living in sheffield thats not fun. it finally cost me 600 pounds to get new brakes. and i had to put oil in at least twice a week. but it was great fun driving across the hills of yorkshire

1. Car Type - Datsun 180B Station Wagon 1976
2. I was 16 years old and ther year was 1987
3. It was a car that could only be driven by someone who knew it. The gearbox had so much play in it that it was like stirring porridge, the brakes pulled horrendously to the left, the starter motor used to jam and needed to be hit with a hammer to free it up. This was a classic piece of machinery.
4.

1962 Chevy Impala 327 4 speed

70 ford F100 truck. 360ci c6 trans. The thing had 3 shades of blue.(Rattle can special) I was 17. Thought I was billy bad ass.

ah the good'ol days.
1984 accord hatch back.
I was 16 and my moms boyfriend ,"a used car salesman"( Just the father figure a teen needs, fucker ), found this for me. I had it for 2 years and sold it to my step brother for 2,000. Same what I paid. So I guess its true about hondas they have good resell. It was a good first car just the timing belt went out once. that was in 95 I think.

1975 Pontiac Trans-Am Firebird. Big block 455 engine, automatic with Hurst shifter, 3.73 gear ratio with a posi rear-end and Hurst T-tops. Now I drive a 1974 Corvette Sting Ray.

1973 Chevy Impala aka The Land Yacht

Baby puke green with white vinyl seats that were coming apart.

bought in 1986 for $150 lasted 4 months till the body panels fell off going down the road and for some reason mom decided I had to get rid of the car.

1985 black VW Jetta GLI
used in 1988, I was 16
had over 50,000 miles and seemed great but had lots of little problems
1. couldn't use cruise control and play radio at same time
2. fast forward button would fly off when reached end (button would be in back seat if not caught)
3. front bumper fell off one time

Was a great first car though - kinda miss it
