My guess is that this has been done before, but if its worth doing, its likely worth doing again.

That said, tell us about your first car.




Mine was a 1993 Cavalier RS Sedan, in Caribbean Blue


Not mine

It leaked fuel from all 4 injectors, had to have the head re-planed, and finally died at 225,000 miles while taking a corner uphill, where the engine seized, and I had to roll down the hill backwards with no power steering. It was a fun.

That car was replaced by a '91 Olds Cutlass supreme with the 3.1 V6. Not a bad car, and I actually really liked it, minus the frizzy carpet on the doors.

I finally replaced it with a 2000 Blazer LS 4x4, it was a nice truck until it took to eating ball joints and u-joints, it was replaced by my Monte


Was Mine

 

Kinda similar to your car - mine was a 93 Pontiac Sunbird LE coupe.

 

For me, I guess it depends on how you look at it. My parents bought me an 84 Monte Carlo SS, it wasn't in awesome condition, but for 2 grand it would have been a nice project car, but it was stolen. I then bought a 95 Blazer, but it was put in my moms name, so still wasn't completely mine. Now I have my 06 MC SS, which is fully 100% mine, so any one of them could have been my first, LOL.

 

My first car was an utter piece of ****. Merkur XR4Ti.

Mine looked similar to this one, only the hood and grille were white because my pops hit a deer with it.

 

wow nighthawk you poor guy i'm suprised you didn't start takin the bus
my first car was a 1979 bmw 320i then an '87 dakota shortly after.

 

my first were (2 actually i bought one my dad gave me the other) i bought a 1987 VW scirocco 16v and my dad gave me a 1985 GMC s15 sierra 4x4 with the v6 an a 5 spd trans kept both for 3 years til i joined then gave them to a buddy of mine who was in a bad way

 

first car I actually paid for myself, a 1972 pontiac lemans 350 motor, running on 6 cylinders! replaced the cam and it was running sweet after that! paid $200 for it! second was a 67 formula S 383 barracuda fastback $1200, sweet car, I didn't get a chance to do to much to it! had to sell it to pay for a dui (stupid)! third car 74 chevy nova $3200, ran a 12.41 qtr mile when the guy I bought it from had it. it pretty much nickled and dimed me from day one, but it was a sweet car, got dui #2 in it but I got out of it due to idiot police officer who screwed up and then sold it for $800 to a freind of mines brother. car is now a hot rod qtr mile car that gets hauled to the track on a fladbed all above info is no BS

 

first car was my '65 buick skylark. 2 door sedan, black with a blue bench seat interior, 90k original miles, 300 CI 2bbl v8 with a blown up 2 speed auto, got it for free replaced the 2 speed with a free turbo 400 3 speed auto, car runs great, pulled the windsheild out to reseal and kinda stalled on the resto, still working on it though! just recently i picked up a 425 CI buick "nailhead" V8 attached to a buick turbo 400 3 speed to rebuild and do an engine swap later on....

when i first got it:




a couple of weeks ago






and the 425 engine:

 

 

1986 Smoke Grey Honda Prelude. Got it at 160,000 km and drove it to 280,000 before it needed rings and a major tune. Sold it for $900 when I bought my 1996 Sonoma (RIP).

I know it wasn't much for power, but damn I miss driving a stick.
