Her shirt should say I give refunds!
My first car was one of these - same color interior & exterior as shown; paid $50 for it (obviously well used). Was burning oil - changed out the umbrella seals on the slant 6's valves - problem solved! Totally awesome pushbutton automatic transmission!
nice !
My first car was a 69 Opel Kadett. Just like this except white with a red interior. Another kid in my school had one that was white with a blue interior. Saved me from a ticket one day when the school police officer couldn't tell whether it was me or him he chased through the parking lot. I kept at least one row of cars between us the whole chase. Not one of my smarter days but high school wasn't really one of my finer hours.
Have owned 52 vehicles since this one.
My first ride
one like this
Goodness - forgot the year, but my dad bought a used red Ford Pinto from a driver education school as my first car.
My brothers and I beat the living crap out of that thing and it held together.
Dropped it into first gear and revved it to 40 plus mph and slammed it into 2nd.
The short wheel base made it easy to control and spin 360 degrees on snowy streets.
Crazy what we did in and to that car.
My first car was a 1960 Rambler station wagon, with a six cylinder push button automatic.
My first car was a 57 210 4 door Chev - Sunfire Yellow with a 283 c.i. with 3 on the tree and 4 barrel
1958 Ford Fairlane 2 door. No reverse!
61 Manx Clone (the one on the left)
I had a friend who had a myers manx with a corvair flat 6 in it - it was a kick
That was my first ride. 1982 Ford Granada. And that's me stuck behind the wheel after a head-on collision with a school bus. And, added bonus, that's my dad in uniform on the right side of the picture, helping the rescue crew cut me out of the car. Stupid kid.
Noticed the license plate...
Noticed the license plate...
YEP. That's the start of my chapter of the story. Dad started the whole thing with an inside joke at work, but it's been my deal ever since.
Were any children hurt in the bus?
71 superbeetle with a hurst shifter, 8 track player and a c.b. radio with a 102 inch whip antenna. I still miss that car.
Were any children hurt in the bus?
No, it was empty. I, on the other hand, had 4 passengers. I was the only one who got transported.
