What was your first car?

Mine was a 1970 yellow Chevy Nova.

Total piece of crap but all my friends loved it. Everyone called it the Little Yellow Porkin Machine.

Had an 84 Grand Prix(not the one pictured, this is an 87 that I bought in 2012) but I loved the old G bodies.

1994 Mercury Villager, baby. It was frumpy but free. For a college student, free is the most important thing. It was legitimately a very good vehicle though. Mine looked similar to this, but it had red pinstripes running down the side for reasons. I’m sure it already had them at the dealership when my parents bought the car. There isn’t a chance in hell my half-Scots dad would have paid extra for something purely cosmetic. Maybe he would now in his old age, but not as a frugal dad who had a couple of brats to feed and educate.

It may have been garbage, but it was good looking garbage.

My brother had a Nova just like that.
My first car was a 65 Impala coupe in ice blue, 283, power glide. I blew the head gasket within a few months.

The OJ mobile. 1987 White Ford Bronco. Unfortunately my family opted for the trim that came without Al Cowlings. Or fortunately I guess.

1970 Pontiac Lemans (not the one picture but close). I paid my cousin $300 for it. Good car except the floorboards were rusting out and my seat kept sinking lower and lower.

Your Floorboard story reminds me of a car a group of us bought in the early 80s.
We bought a 73 Fleetwood Cadillac, painted in pink ala Springsteen and his Pink Cadillac album. We then welded the doors shut cut off the roof and took it on road rallies, WLAV or WGRD iirc. We had a blast cruised Lake Michigan Holland State park on Sunday nights. So many hammered nights, laws were so different. On one of the road rallies sponsored by slice the exhaust burned through the floorboard. We used the splice bottles to douse the fire and kept going til it wouldn’t go anymore.
Of course when you cut off the roof and you then have a mechanic raise it on a lift…well that was the end of that car. Good times.

1977 Chevy Suburban. I folded down the back seats to put in 2 15" subwoofers. The Suburban rattled so much it sounded like crap on the outside, but inside it was chest thumping.
