My First car 1963 Chevy Corvair Monza. , I paid $125.00 for it in 1980 , it was in pretty bad shape, but my friend & I fixed it up and I drove it for almost 6 months, before it died again and I sold it to a collector for $150. and he towed it away.

Between then and now I have owned 23 cars.

This is a 1963 Corvair, the car in photo is just a googled photo of a '63 corvair, my Corvair was similar and same color.

1979 Ford Mustang Cobra. 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder.

The same four, six and eight-cylinder engines were used as before, with the addition of a turbocharged 4-banger that developed 140 hp (same as the 302 V-8 version).

Many people will claim that there wasn't a Cobra in '79, but I had the door and dash emblems to prove it.

Too bad I don't have pictures. I had to buy a clutch and pressure plate for it and they were the same part number as the V8.

B reg (1984) FSO Polonez bought for 450 quid in England in 1991.

It featured a rear heated back window and 5 speed gearbox (1.5L) I had the 'Prima' version which meant it came with extras and yes, it was that color like on the image.

My first car was/is a 1992 Toyota Corolla.

Pros:

Inherited.

Was at one time nice.

Four door + trunk = reasonable equipment hauling space.

Gas mileage.

Only 98k miles :)

Cons:

That thing's got an EFI!

Sounds like a damn ricer stock.

Is a damn ricer.

Hasn't been regularly driven for years.

Interior is wrecked up from years of family use.

No damn extras! In '92 there were powered windows, locks, and top windows! This one didn't even come with cruise control stock.

Current status:

Chilling outside our garage in a useless state.

- a tire, battery, and window.

But it's okay. About to pick up a '91 Camaro with T-tops :) And also possible a Buick Electra. Power to the people!

    • 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.
