Your high school car (or dream car)

[Howie]

What I dreamed of:



But I had this '57 Falcon instead:



OK, there was no Falcon in '57, it started out as a Ford Custom, but I shortened it considerably.

1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6  2.5 V6 black leather interior


It was my dream car, and I saved up working construction jobs for two years to buy it.  That car definitely helped me pull some quality tail.  I was also one of six people in my highschool to have a car so you could say it stood out a little. 

I ended up giving the car away a few years ago because it was sitting, broken down, in my parents driveway. 

  Great little car! The DeDion/Transaxle setup works nice.


My first was a powder blue and woodgrain 1978 Plymouth Fury wagon similar to this Monaco.

[OverCaffeinated]

First car at age 16. Keep in mind I graduated year 2000.

1978 Cadillac Eldorado land yacht.

License plate said "DOLEMYT"

Like this but shit brown.

I don't think I need to explain what this kind of car was for.

After three of these, I have become an expert Fiat mechanic. A completely useless skill.
They were a lot of fun, tho.

if the fiat/chrysler merger goes thru, maybe not!!

My first Car. Bought when I was 15. Amazing what mowing lawn for four years will get you.



My daily driver when I turned sixteen was a hand me down from my older sister



Could NOT kill that damn car. It was indestructible.

After that came a 99 ford ranger, 99 dodge ram 1500, and currently a 98 oldsmobile 88 

Still have the firebird tho.

This was my ride in high school (didn't learn to drive until I was in college):

[El Matador]

I built my HS dream car. It was an 88 Land Cruiser on which I swapped out the engine for the EFI TRD of the '02. Also put on it:

35's
Bumpers,
5:13 gears
6 inches of lift 
Snorkel

I think I spent more time wrenching on the car than actually driving it, but it was damn fun.

This was me three years ago:





I miss that thing

[acalles]

my highschool car, and tech school too.



I still have her, I just auto x it now.

This was my dream car at the time.



oddly enough, I owned one later, and grew to hate that car. It was all I could do to keep it running, and once while on a date, the pice of shit sunroof decided it dodn't want to shut all the way just as it started raining. I went to stop at a red light and the water from the roof just poured on me, while this was happening the windshield wiper on drivers side decided it wanted to stop working too. Next day I bought my GTI and sold the SLC to my brother for make the beast with two backsing cheap.

This is just like what I had, but with a black painted top. It was my dream car and I got it at the beginning of my Jr. year.

Jebus, I loved that car.  But I recently bought one of these little black bull dogs (Dodge srt4) for my 16 yo daughter that will would have handily out run the muscle cars of the time.  And my God, I love the little Neon - it's additive! What a make the beast with two backsing rush to drive. At $9000 and a new engine it's the most car for the money I've ever driven.

I got my Mom's old 89 Jeep Cherokee limited with 115,000mi on it.

Suspension needed to be replaced, so I had a 3inch black diamond lift kit installed.

Boy, did it ride like shit after that, but looked bad ass

Died about 10,000 miles later.

that thing was a POS

[mrs minnesotamonster]

I'm currently driving (and have been for 4 years) a red 1994 Volvo station wagon with a green hood.

The damn thing has over 280,000 miles on it and still going.

My first car was a 1974 VW Thing


It had a hole in the floor boards behind the driver seat that was used at various times (by passengers) as a spittoon,  urinal, and ashtray.

[redxblack]

Before I got my own car, I used to drive my mom's 88 ford conversion van. That thing was fun. It had switches in the headliner between the driver and passenger just like the millenium falcon. My friends nicknamed it "the honeywagon". Unfortunately, I had early-onset nerddom, so no great stories of pulling tail in a van w/ a fold down bed and curtains.
