89 Nissan Sentra

My first car: It was some of the greatest times I have ever had.

Bought new off the showroom floor.

Was an '89 Nissan Sentra Jade Gray it looked green at times, it looked gray at times.
5% tint w/ticket one time.
Put about 16k - 18k miles on it the first year.

It had 90 hp 5 speed, no air, no power anything - take that back (power brakes), no radio.

Still see it running around these parts, surprised me. I thought it would be in a junk yard somewhere.

My first car was a 1993 Chevy Lumina Eurosport. Was my dad's old company car. Not real fast but it had enough room for all my buddies! Traded it for a truck and then turned that into the SHO's.

Looked a lot like this one (which we own now

The first car that was actually mine was 1990 Sunbird payed $500 and it didnt run. We put about $100 worth of parts and drove it for about 2 years not counting the additional year it sat in the driveway cause we had title issues. I sold it for $600( it needed tires a radio and a oil change bad only had 1 oil change in two years, oops) to by a 1986 Bronco II for $300 which also didnt run but just put in a $100 worth of parts to get it running. First car I drove of the lot brand new was the HHR and I got rid of my bronco shortly after that as well.

1975 orange Honda Civic CVCC with a trunk

Got it in 1978 in mint shape.
It would do 97.5 MPH all day long
Barmaid leaving work in a Duster head-on-ed it doing 30 out of the lot
I was going 10 tops
Appraiser said 10 more MPH and the engine would have been in my lap.
The Duster had some orange paint on the bumper, that's it.

Next car - blue '70 Skylark with a 350 - oh yeah

The Civic looked just like this without the white stripes and all that rot. Great Pumpkin.

Mine was a '67 Olds "Gutless" Supreme. Bought it for $900 from a.........

you guessed it!! a little old lady.

It was originally a creme color, with a Powerglide. Replaced it with a turbo 350 rebuilt the 330 Rocket, comp cam lifters blah, blah blah. Could never get the Kenne Bell headers to fit though, even with a bigger hammer

sorry pic is not cropped:




I refused to be home when the guy that bought it from me picked it up.

87 Taurus

87 Ford Taurus MT5 Rare care only made for 2 years it was the predecessor to the raved about SHO that I am restoring one of those now. I paid $1000 for it and still know exactly where the car sits to this day. After replacing the head twice because of a poor designed "J" pipe cooling system I DROVE it to it's final resting place at the junk yard. Every once in a while I'll go over and lament about the fun my old g/f and I had in the car amongst other things that front seat still has a mark on it only I know how it got there....
