Help Support Hardline Crawlers:

1974 Mercury Capri, hand-me-down.
Second car was a '77 Chevy Monza with a factory V8 and 4 speed:awesomework: that all ended up in my 3rd rig, a Chevy LUV pickup. Very fun. Got pics of the Capri and LUV but no scanner, they are Kodak moments. :redneck:
 
1983 Ford Escort Pony

No PS
No power brakes
Tape? No.
How about a CD? No.
How about FM? No.
Friggin' AM radio

I did rally the piss out of it though.

first car that I was legally able to drive, grandma bought mom and I a new 1991 plymouth sundance in "red rasperry" she bought a matching one for herself in 'black cherry' - our little family of sedans would give you the runs...

anyways, basically took the brand new car, mom never saw it unti I did enough damage to it my mom & grandma thought it wisest to buy me my own...

Scored a 3rd generation 1983 Celica/Supra GT-S Silver on Black 2 tone with the wide fenders, and cool rims (back then), sport suspension and interior features that made it more comfortable... of course I installed the typical stereo system alarm etc... and that puppy rocked.

Loved that car, got ran over on the freeway by a delivery truck and the car was absolutely totaled. someday, I may pick up one and try to restore it, in some or all of my spare time.

I walked into the dealership and told the guy I wanted something 2 door, a stick, and had to be sporty without a doubt... and had to have trunk space for a system...My grandma and mom were furious, cause they couldn't drive a manual so that meant they couldn't take the car away, or even move it if they wanted too.... so i secured my freedom, then I had to learn damn quick how to drive a manual.:haha:

Geees Nuzzy, dang rich kids :fawkdancesmiley: .

84 Mustang GT Turbo, it ran a couple of times, but never with me as the driver. I gave up on the idea of having it as my commuter before I even started driving. So my first real driver was an 84 cherokee 4 banger with 5 speed.
 
78 cj5 jeep, 32" buckshots, daam that thing was a blast. 258 I6, clifford research intake and headers, 390 holley 4 barrel, dual burnt out glass packs, saweet.
 
1984 Nissan 720. I drove the piss out of it, and wheeled it harder. 2 blown head gaskets in 2 years.

Bought it when I was 16 for $1500 drove it till I started college, then bought a new DD and sold the truck to a friend. Decided it was dumb to sell my first vehicle so I bought it back when he decided he didn't have time for the project anymore.
 
86 Toyota Celica....I loved that car even when the motor took a crap on me and we had to replace it. I did learn a lot about fixing cars though. :D
 
66 Dodge Coronet 2dr 318ci auto, bought it for $400

I was big pimpin with a 24 pack of Mt. Dew in the back at all times. Springs were shot so it looked lowered.
 
1967 F-100 Short box. Got it in 1996. Still have it. Started stone stock with a 2V 352 and quiet single exhaust... Now it's got a healty 390. :D

First motorized transportation? 73 Honda 350CL. Cheap and it got me where I wanted to go, even with a dead battery. Wrecked it twice.

First car? 66 Rambler American. Didn't even make it home before it broke, in 78. Heck it only cost $100. I so loved trading that in.
 
a $600.00 rez runner 83 mustang.....geez that thing was a pile of crap...it spewed oil all over the place...I think the sound system cost me more that what it was worth....but that was when I was in high school (1993)

we even lowered it too....thanks to my uncles cutting torch

67 Camaro that I built from 14 to 16 and drove off and on between other cars until I was about 26 or so. Then blew the tranny, got married moved to Bellingham, and left it at Mom and Dad's sold it about a year later. Worse damn mistake I ever made. Oh well can't be an adult male without a I should of never sold this car story.

Very first vehicle I bought: 1949 Willy's pickup with a Buick 300 V-8, aka the Turbo Tangerine (bright friggin' orange)

It met an untimely death on the nose of a Monte Carlo.
 
'82 Accord hatchback with Enkei (sp) wheels and louvers on the back window (remember those?) Hey, it was 1985 :headbanging:
 
1972 American Motors Hornet. The door handles fell off & had to be replaced twice in the first year. I do not miss that car.
 
first ride: 80 chevy c10, dads truck. 250 cally with the tank filler cut to run regular
first (and last) car of my own: 88 pontiac grand ma (sedan) :puke:
first truck worth keeping: 88 s10 pu, extended cab with a long bed. 1.5" suspension lift for 29's, smittybuilt nerf bars...totaled by some stoned dude who blew a yield at 40mph.
 
Well, the car I had available to drive in high school (my mom's POS) was a '76 Plymouth Valiant - 2 door tank of a car that absolutely hauled ASS.:nana1: :011:

The first car that was "mine" was an '87 Toyota Corolla. Metallic Brown. A very comfy, reliable car.

The Valiant was the most fun to drive, I had it in a drift with passenger side hubcaps flying off into the rite-aid parking lot, making a turn in downtown Snohomish (I think it was on 2nd street, over where the Hal Moe pool is now. The pool probably wasn't even a thought back then). Made a few friends damn near piss their pants in that car!! :haha: :haha: :haha: I think that is when I knew that someday I'd drive a Porsche:haha: :haha: :haha:
 
I almost forgot, before the Ford pickup was a Harley 90.
Cost about $.50 to fill it up.........those were the days.
That lasted almost a week :awesomework:
 
First vehicle was a '81 4dr Honda Accord. Dad let me have the car if I fixed it up to run. I was only 14---fixed the car(head gasket+valve job). I sold the car after fixing it up. I never drove the car. The money gained was used to buy my bone stock '63 CJ-5 which is only a remnant of its old self and still driven to this day. I daily drove the Jeep 40 miles round trip to school and home for 3 years. Lots of fun since it had the stock F-head and 10 Gal gas tank.
