finality Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 First car I ever drove eh? 1965 Ford Mustang. Was my friend's car, I was 15, he was 16, I drove it (at speeds unmentioned) up and down his street for a while. Fun fun. My first car, though was a 95 Cadillac Sedan Deville, which I still have.

dj6ross Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 1993 Dodge Dakota (3.9L V6) :laugh: Pros Good Runner. 4wd is great for icey mornings. Low miles for a 12 year old almost daily ran, (84,963 miles) More power than my buddies trucks :) Manual trans. is way more fun than auto New clutch New front brake pads & rotors Cons The radio only works sometimes. Brakes I don't like to much, its like 80% front / 20% rear :( Balding tires (they are original) Needs muffler :shifty: Gas mileage..its a truck hehe. Mods Straight pipe to replace my muffler. It's a temporary thing. ;) Current Status In the backyard, with a full tank of gas. I drive it to school and work. No accidents, bumper to bumper contact with my friend is on purpose. And on country roads. Remember, I'm not tailgating.. :shifty: I'm drafting! DRAFTING: The practice of two or more cars, while racing, to run nose-to-tail, almost touching. The lead car, by displacing the air in front of it, creates a vacuum between its rear end and the nose of the following car, actually pulling the second car along with it. http://www.culturesnobs.com/getimg.php?img=P1130002.JPG from last weeks snow storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 My first car was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite. I got it a week before high school graduation. It had a 318 c.i. engine, so it wasn't very good on gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
