What was your first vehicle....?

[casm]

1977 (?) Fiat 127, age 13. This is the car that the Yugo was based on, but actually had fairly decent mechanicals. Didn't stop it from rusting to hell after I ran it all over the fields learning to drive, though. Got it when my mother bought a Honda Civic to replace it.

The first car I legally put on the road was a 1982 Ford Capri 1.6LS. Great car, but didn't handle worth a damn. Nearly killed me after I put it head-on into a stone wall going 60 courtesy of a patch of black ice.

78 Chevy swb 2wd, it didn't last long. I still have my "2nd" first vehicle, a 74 Chevy lwb 2wd.

99 XJ Sport. Couldn't ask for a better first car. Of course, I'll be paying for it for the next 4 years.....bummer.

The first car I bought is my 90 cherokee, I have totaled it once (fixed it good as new) and even with 207,000 on the clock I plan on keeping this thing forever, even if it totally dies i'll store it somewhere for a future buildup.

1970 VW. God parents gave it to me and I put in a new tranny. Wrapped it around 2 trees. Cutting school to boot. Got in trouble for that one. Bought another bug and rolled it.

1977 olds cutlass 442 basically a cutlass supreme with 442 decals 350 rocket v8 and auto on the floor . Bought it for $100 pass. side door was wired shut because the door latch didnt work , had 3 different size tires, windshield leaked when it rained, and if it was below 40 degrees out it would only start by spraying either down the carb. A REAL S**T BOX!! but I drove it for a year then tore it apart and destroyed it in a demolition derby.

I got a 1984 Jeep Cherokee just before I turned 16. It had a 2 inch lift and 30 inch bf goodrich tires. I beat the hell out of that thing and it still went. I've still got it, 265,000 miles on it. I plan to cut the weight back and make some major mods, put on a 6 inch lift, probably 33's. I've got a 12 bolt going in the back. Should be an awesome vehicle when I'm done.

I must be a lucky one. My first car was my 88 MJ 4.0 4x4. Bought it for $550. Best $550 I ever spent.

 

[nhrocker]

My first and only, my 95 Cherokee. I've been driving it for the 3 years since I got my license and have constantly been working on it and upgrading it, a little at a time. I totaled it a little while back and as soon as I get home from school I'm going to start the rebuild (it's going to be the best spring break ever!)

I liked my XJ to begin with, then I got in the crash. Any other vehicle and I probably would have rolled it or flipped it, and who knows if I could have walked away from that. And to top it all off, most of the damage is only cosmetic! Man I love Cherokees!!! :laugh3:

And who would want to kill such a nostalgic thread? I mean come on, it's history!
