First Cars

[SneakyDave]

My stepdad was a big MOPAR fan.

 

First car I drove (in a winter snowstorm when I was 14) was actually a '73 Blue Dodge Van.

Then when I started actually driving, I got to learn on this thing, 1973 Plymouth Fury 3, same color:

My mother wanted a four door, and something that didn't take a week to turn a corner, so we upgraded to a 1977 Plymouth Fury Salon

And then about a year or 2 after that, a cousin had a 1977 Monte Carlo that he just had repainted and put bucket seats in that he was selling, and I was in love. Still wish I had it.

But, what do you drive today!?

Suburu Forester. Got it in 2018 for my wife, but it was too small for her, so last year she got a Palisade, and I got the Forester.

I wonder what Tracy's first car was? I bet it was a Maserati or some such.

My first, and second.... The second one was more of a gray though...

WONG! Tracy has a Falcon 9 before Musk created it!

Nope, 1975 Chevy Camaro LT Sports Coupe. Bought it from my oldest brother and had body work fixed and repainted to Chrysler charcoal gray. Put a small cam in it, changed the 2 barrel carb to a Holley 650 CF Double Pumper, put duals on it and it wore Cragar SS rims with 60's on back and 70's on front.

 

Somewhere I've got a picture of it in a box, but it was similar to this one other than the tires/rims (it was originally the same icky color).

Once I graduated high school (1982) and started a full time job I bought a '82 Ford F100 Step-side from our local Ford dealer and sold the Camaro to my youngest brother for what they wanted to give me for trade-in on it. Figured I'd rather it go to him since he was tooling around in an old 1971 Chevy short bed truck.
