1985 Dodge Aires wagon

Most fun I've ever had in the latter part of my high school years was in that car.

Now I have a Saturn SC2. A minor upgrade but I can't fit 10 people into it like the aires could.

I had a 1981 Chevy Chevette, what a POS. It is the worst car I have seen listed here so far except for maybe Karnak's 77 Festiva.

Got a 2 year old mustang GT convertible now.

First car was a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500, 352 4 bbl auto. It was a handmedown from the parents. Sold it and bought a 66 VW Beetle and rolled it within a few months. My final car of high school was a 1964 1/2 Mustang ragtop, 289 2bbl 3 speed. It was light blue with a white power top, ac, and a rally pac. Bought the car for $1200 and it looked brand new. Sold it 2 years later pretty trashed out for $200. I'm still kicking myself

TPI, post a pix of yer mullet!

Never to be forgotten like the rest here, my first car was a 1972 AMC Hornet. Green 4 doors of pure love rocket. Straight 6. Bought it for $60, in 1983, the muffler was gone and the brakes were gone, but it had a 8-track that was just so impossibly loud, and awful. “The Great White Buffalo” distorted never sounded better. Parents upgraded the sure death flaws for about $100 more, and off I went.

No it didn’t have straight pipes, I legally got my license as I was 16, and wasn’t out grabbin Ho’s at 14 after midnight like a true stud, and arrested like a Rebel without a Clue. (Damn DRip, you always make a laughable, I mean hard act to follow. I feel so inadequate now. I coulda been a badass kid)

What a piece of toejam. Loved that thing.

So is that how you attracted your Mail order bride Creamo? LOL! What country you order her from Creamo!? LMAO! Hehehehehehe! Damn, I *knew* it was the Gremlin Mind Trick!

Say, if your mail order bride is damaged in the mail, can you return the unused part for a full refund?

I love it when Rip compares his 80 Audi to his 2001 BMW. If he'd had my 86 Audi and my 92 BMW his oppinions on things might have been completely different.

Philippines DRip, the Philippines.

And her names Cathy. Pretty terrific woman.

The last thing you drove that was that tight and 23, indeed, had straight pipes.

Those 'ol floppy 40 year old mufflers are squeak, aint they? Makes you wanna play games and post alot.

Seems she's going to be "In Boeing" a lot longer than you too.

1980 tercel. Closest I could find a pic to it was an 82, they spiffed it up a lot by then.

Arfann · « **Reply #72 on:** August 28, 2002, 02:00:24 PM »

1967 Saab 3 cylinder two stroke. An absolute blast, but ya gotta remember to put in 2-stroke oil. Seized it up in '72 and bought a Datsun. That's prehistoric for Nissan

1984 Mazda B2000 Pickup

My dad upgraded to a new vehicle when I was almost 16, and I got it when I turned. Silver paint with a white canopy.

I sold the canopy (wasn't cool enough), then got the truck painted (black w/gold metallic flake) at Maaco (took it back no less than 8 times to fix problems), and installed a tonneu cover. A few years later I decided to soup it up (LOL), so with a friend's help we yanked all of the california emmisions crap, installed a new holly street racing carb (a friend at a local chevy parts counter located it for us), installed a header (yeah, we found a header for an 84 Mazda 4-banger!) and a new stainless 2" exhaust (minus, catalytic converter, of course) and a new mean (pansy) sounding muffler.

To top it off, I put in bucket seats from an 85 camaro that were way too big for the small cab, then sold it off to the dealer for $500 (who in turn surely sent it to the local wrecking yard) when getting my 96 S10.

SOB
