    Exclamation Do you still have your first car?

    If so post a picture from then, or now.

    I still have mine and it's a 1990 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. It's been sitting without a transmission for years. It will be fixed sometime. Here is a picture when I drove it to Sun Studio at Memphis, TN. This is from 2006 I believe. I got it when I was 16 and my dad bought it new, so it's been in my life for well over 20 years. A lot tell me to get rid of it, part it out, but that would be like getting rid of or parting out a family member or Pet. It will never happen. It's mine forever.

    What do you have?

    Only post if you STILL have it.

    Keeping your first car is only practical if the car (or truck) is practical.

    Took me 15 years of storage fees and non-use before I pulled my head out of my ass and sold it to kids to demo derby it.

    With any luck, you will get there someday too...

    FIRST CAR?

    My first car was a 1956 Ford Customline 272 ci three on the tree, with a 1955 doghouse.
    I gave $75.00 for it as the engine was ready to throw a rod. I found a 1956 Mercury
    312 ci engine at the local junk yard and had them install it. This was my first hot rod.
    I let my brother use it to drive to and from school while I was drafted into the Army.
    His ( nun) teacher gave him hell for driving it while I was in Vietnam fighting a war.
    No, I don't have it but wish I did.

    My first drivable "car" was a 1989 Astro van. It was the short version with all the glass and barn rear doors... it wasn't the prettiest but it was lowered 2"/3", had limo tinted windows, a 383 stroker, built 700R4, a 10 bolt LSD with 4.10s, and a full size couch in the back.

    It surprised tons of mustangs in its time!!!!

    I drove it J/Y with 260k on the clock because I spun a main bearing.

    The first car I owned I got when I was 14, it was a 1938 Plymouth 4dr. .... but I sold it while I was in college.

    Perhaps you were intending to invent the first car phone?

    You were doing it all wrong.
