Just for Fun!

I see an Opel trend in this thread. Is Opel the gateway car to the Porsche?

My first car was a 73 Manta. Bad body and really ripped up interior but it cost me $300. Best deal I ever made in a car. Over 3-4 years I drove it all over the US when I used to race bicycles, the odometer was broken, but I estimate I put close to 75k miles on it with the only expense being a set of tires, a clutch and a driveshaft u-joint.

And the car was fast. My little brother got arrested for going over 100 mph in it.



Yikes! Sorry. How do I resize the image?

My first car was a 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette... My first vehicle was a 1972 Ford pickup truck.

My first was a red Gremlin. 5hp single stroke if I recall. I was however 8 years old and its debatable about it being my coin. I do remember something about an allowance swap!

I drove this thing hard until I could no longer fit. It went topless within the first year and we had to weld the frame back together at least three times as the fun was had in the fields with lots of holes and rocks.

(this is not my photo btw, although there might be one buried in my parents photo albums back east)
