What was your first car?

[Retroman1969]

In 1985 my first was a hand-me-down 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix.

I loved that car! Hood seemed a mile long, and the 400-4bbl ran like a cheetah! Made a big mistake though. The engine lost oil pressure one day and instead of rebuilding it for $650, I bought a "modern" car to replace it.
A 1980 Pontiac Phoenix.

Holy crap was this thing a step down! I'm convinced it was the worst car ever made. It would shake apart if you drove it over 55mph, the engine stalled a lot when the alternator wasn't catching on fire, acceleration was only a suggestion, and it had the habit of shedding its left front wheel at speed (this happened 4 times before dumping this nightmare!). The ball joints were held in with cotter pins instead of bolts.
Switched to VWs shortly thereafter while dreaming of eventual Porsche ownership.

My "second" car was a 1974 Grand Prix, but it only had the 350 motor in it.
That car weighed a ton.....literally.

1952 Chevy Fleetline - In 1959 I was 16 and working in a Standard Oil station and bought the car. Had it nosed, decked, split exhaust manifold, dual exhaust, baby Moon hubcaps, blue dot tail lights, etc. Everyone named their cars then and since mine was white it became the "White Worm". I wish I had it back.
