Your First Car


Recommended Posts

1989 Ford F-150

Pros:

Two gas tanks

One helluva of an off road truck, Drove it in some swamp land and at some points the water and mud got up to the bottom of the door even with my 4in lift. Never got stuck (Y) I still have it just for playing around with.

It was my first car and was great fun to drive :D

Cons

No AC

Wipers got hit by a tree branch and were never the same :pinch:

No front bumper- Well a modded POS

No tailgate

When I first got it the passenger door worked, but one day the handle got stuck and could not close I had to tie it shut. When I got home I took the whole thing apart and got it to close, but then it got stuck again and I could not get it back open, it ****ed me off so much that I jerked the inside handle and broke it in half. :wacko:

No inside paneling for driver side door, just the frame ?you don?t want to know w:whistle:tle: Since it was just the frame for the door, the driver side window was being held up by a 2x4 piece and leaked in the rai:p :p

I will take some pictures and stick them up tomorrow

1992 Chevrolet Cavalier RS

My parents got it used (after being totalled and fixed) and gave it to me when I got my license. Since we got it, it has had numerous new parts put in (probably more than the car was worth) including a new CD player and speakers :D. We sold it a couple of months ago and I'm now looking for a new car. If you know of any, don't post them here, visit my thread at https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=270106.

98 Chevy Malibu

I still have it. It was my dads car and then he gave it to me as a graduation present. His replacement was a 2004 Grand Prix..******. I havent had the best of luck with this car so once I hit 100,000 (if I even get there...) I am going to replace it hopefully with either a Mitsubshi Lancer or Audi A4.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
