Taz, my 1980 Dodge Mirada with the 3.7 liter/225 cubic inch slant 6 cylinder engine only put out about 90 horsepower too! lol I'm not kidding, it was rated at 90 or 95, I can't remember right now. It weighed a little more than a Cavalier, too.

Technically first, was my 1977 Dodge b100 Sportsman. Kinda like the Mystery Mobile, for those that don't know. It was great! I even lived in the thing for a summer. It had **** carpet on the floors, walls, and ceiling. A bench seat in the back that folded down into a bed. A built in closet and shelves, and even an electrical outlet. But, that thing never left our property.

My first actual road car was a 1989 Dodge Dynasty. I fell in love with that car. Same model year as I am...I always said I was born for that car! My dad thought it would be a good first for one of the kids, and I just happened to be the next in line! The thing was enormous. Just a big gray boat sailing down the street. Smoked more then my grandmom. Went through a quart of oil every 2-3 days. I drove that thing right into the ground, then junked it. My one true regret...I miss that thing every day.

My first car was when I turned 20 in 1982 and it was a 1977 Monte Carlo, Burnt Orange, Tan Vinyl roof, black vinyl interior, rally wheels. Sent her to the crusher in 1993 because she had terminal cancer. A sad day.

My first car was a red 1991 Chevy Beretta GTZ stick shift. Had about 110,000 miles when I got it from my uncle, and the thing was immaculate. I still miss that car to this day, one of the funnest things to drive.
