Sounds exactly like my 2nd car -- '89 Buick Century.

4-door, puke brown (best color ever....you never had to wash it, because dirt didn't show up at all), and the 3.3L V6 in it. It wasn't a hot-rod by any means, and it couldn't hang with any real sportscar, but it could (and did) haul some ass on occasion. Great car to piss off the ricers (and the ricer craze was just getting started in the mid 90s).

Oh yeah, it also had a back seat big enough for, um, back seat activities, without being cramped.

1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with all the goodies that go with a 400 small block Chevy and a 456 ring gear thrown in for good measure. I forgot to mention NOS. That car ate many Mustangs and Camaro's.

'87 Honda Accord. Bought it when I turned 16, it was 6 years old with 75K miles on it.

I'd probably still have it, if my Dad hadn't totalled it while I was at college. I couldn't bear to look at it in the back yard when I came home that weekend. I was genuinely sad because it was my first car and had so many good memories.

Took out the backseat. Put in plywood, foam & carpet. "The Love Den" was born.

Actually, this thing.

1984 Chevy Blazer FULLSIZE w/4x4. It is 2 years older than I am. It had a 305 in it when we got it but it started blowing a little oil and my opportunity for a bigger motor was born. I bought a 350 off a guy for $100 and spent $1100 redoing the motor. Now I have a 10-11mpg (if I'm REALLY good) vehicle that will rumble windows a mile away thanks to headers, Cherry Bombs, and true duals.

I Found out that it's pretty fast too. My buddies and I were driving separate vehicles out to another friends house one night after a football game and a "Race" ensued. I was running second, out of 3, coming out of town. I put 'er down and passed my friend in his 1999 Chevy truck w/4.3 Vortec. My buddy behind me has a 1974 Monte Carlo w/350 and other minor tweaks but he couldn't get by my friend in the truck. I didn't completely lose them in the 5 mile race out to the farm we were going to, but my friend in the truck was havin trouble keeping up with me because his truck cuts out at 99mph.....and I apparently was going a tad bit faster than that

I got my first car last year and it was a 1984 Honda Accord Hatchback with 242,000 miles. I got it for free, but I had to replace the seal on the front of the block.

The car's main attraction is that it has a working A/C.

First Car?

First Vehicle was a Honda 100cc little ricegrinder when I was 15.

First Car at 16, saved up $200.00 and bought my neighbor's 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente. I remember it well as I got my first b_____b in it. Aw the fond memories.

I put high compression heads on the 289, different carb, all kinds of ignition work from a friend of mine. Then put these big ole 60 series tires on the rear of it. I got mad at my girlfriend and threw the damn thing in reverse and slammed on the accelerator. Usually, that would just squeal the tires really good and take off. However, it had been sitting in this restaurant parking lot for about two hours in the heat. The parking lot was asphalt. Those tires got lots of traction and the resulting torque of trying to break em loose caused the engine to twist and shear the motormounts....driving the fan into the fan housing......

Boy did I feel stupid.

1972 Porsche 914. Shit Brown. $500. The girl we bought it from had torn off part of the front fender, and thought she'd blown the motor. Well we got it hom and got to working on it. Had a broke spring on the carb and after we fixed that it'd run good. Only problem was that it wasn't really a Porsche. It was a VW. Most, if not all, of them back around that time were. 0-60 time was about 11 seconds, top speed was about 90. But by god it said Porsche on it. Dad traded it for a motorcycle that he ended up selling for $1700 to use as a downpayment on him a new truck. I never saw one damn dime of my $500 I paid for it. Other than getting to have a Porsche for 3 months that got sold before I turned 16.

1971 Volvo wagon. 4 cylinder automatic. I drove it for a year then swapped the automatic tranny out for a 4 speed standard. I paid $300 for the car, drove it for 3 years, got $375 from the insurance company for a battery fire and sold the car to a junkyard for $150.

it looked like this one except mine was green,red primer, gray primer, rust...

But if offered either car in "original" condition today, I'd take the Pontiac, because better gas mileage.
