My first car was a:

1985 Toyota Camry. The beast had 300000km on it when I got it and it still ran like a clock. Still, it was my first car and I have fond memories.

Had to sell it when I went school

Cool Sweeper! I drove my parents 72 Luv when I first got my lincense! They weren't very fast, but they handled surprising well! Ours was kinda funny though, throw a bail of hay in the back, and the front end would bounce and shimmy at about 45mph!

'86 BMW 325e, 5 speed, 6 cyl....haven't had the chance to race much....I raced a Ford Ranger, we tied

Nice car.....I might sell it next year to get something with more power or keep it and repaint it. I'm leaning towards the latter because it's most cost effective with the repairs I've done/will be doing to it.

1971 Dodge D-100 pickup. It had a 360ci V8 from a '79 Ramcharger. 4 speed towing transmission--1st gear was actually "granny gear", and was too low to actually use in normal driving, so it was essentially a 3 spd.

Dual exhaust with small glasspacks...I could (and often did) set off car alarms with it.

It had awesome torque and was a handful to drive. I never really calculated it, but I estimate that it got about 8mpg!

Sold it off before I came in the USAF, and haven't seen it since. I don't think I even have a picture of the old dog.

1992 Nissan Maxima, Oh man that car was great, pretty fast for a 3.0 V6 with 200k miles. Took it through some guys field at 105mph and it was still running when i drove it back to his drive way with no oil pan and 1 tire that had any air in it.
