Super User fishinfiend Posted June 26, 2009 Super User Posted June 26, 2009 After nearly 14 years, I have sold my truck that I have had since I started driving. I saved almost every penny I made for a year while waiting tables at IHOP on the weekends and payed $7500 in cash for her. My father, brother, and I have spent numerous hours fixing her when she got sick. She never broke down on me or left me stranded. I had a lot of good times in that truck. I hope the new owner treats her well. Now I am without a car for 11 days until my new truck gets here. What was your 1st car and how long did you have it? Here she is..... Quote
pa mountain man Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 78' F-150, had it 2 years, then a moron hit me head on, ripped both axles out from under his 2000 F-250, I pulled his off the road with mine, they totaled mine, but fixed his. That old girl was a tank...I miss that old 10 mpg 400 modified. Quote

atx_newbie Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I had a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 5 speed with a 2.0 liter turbo. It was the first generation Eclipse, which many consider to be one of the best sport-touring cars ever produced. I loved that car. But as I was driving it one day, at around 120,000 miles, the harmonic balancer (a $60 fix) broke loose, and in the process broke the a/c compressor, alternator, power steering pump, and power brakes. Looked in the rear view to see parts the size of footballs cartwheeling down the road behind me, while the warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree. Yeah, it was not the best thing to have happen at 80 mph Quote
GLADES Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 My first car was a forest green 1966 ford mustang fastback with pony interior. I saved my money while working for Publix bagging groceries making $2.65 HR. I paid $3500 for it in 1976 when I started driving. It had a 289 4V with a toploader 4 speed trans. I loved the teardrop shaped roofline and the cockpit feel of the driver seat. The car was alot of fun. The car had manual steering and drum brakes on all four wheels. During the 80's I rebuilt the car a couple of times, and updated to front disc brakes and tighter suspension, and I finally sold her in 1998 for $7500. Quote

After completly tearing it down and redoing a lot on it it was looking and running good. Painted it myself! Sold her last year for $600...not a bad turn around considering I put about $300 in it.
