What was your first car?
These trips down memory lane are always fun. I'll start things off...
Mine was a 1965 Lotus Cortina.

1967 Mustang 289 coupe Red/Red 3 speed manual. It was 22 years old at the time. It blows my mind to think that some high school kid out there is getting a 22 year old Mustang that was built in 1988!

1973 Mazda RX2 with a rotary engine. Remember, the piston engine goes boing boing boing and the Mazda goes Hmmmmm. It was actually rather quick. I walked the Pintos and Vegas. I could make a sweet single wheel burnout.

Yup, from day 1! While my friends were worrying about 1/4 mile times in their muscle cars. I was learning how to trail brake and late apex corners.That Lotus Cortina was sitting in a neighbors yard for years. It cost me $200, and taught me how to work on cars.

First car
1964 Corvair Monza. Paid $250.00 for it, drove it for a year and sold it for $250.00. Probably the first and last time I didn't lose money on a car.
