I learned to drive in a 1980 280ZX which was not considered a good car in my school full of rich kids. Darn I loved that car. If it hand't been totaled by the person we sold it to 14 years after the family bought it I might try to find it again for sentimental reasons. Besides, the nextdoor neighbor is bothering us about all the cars so we have decided if they try to get our car we park on the street towed we're just gionna buy more cars!

My very first car. '82 Camaro Z28 Pace Car. They were 5.0L 150hp, but mine had the optional 165hp "Cross Fire Injection". It was a big WOW back then.

I was 17, freshman @ Toledo University in Ohio. OOOOOOOOh the good old memories.

My first car was a hand painted (with a roller no less) '75 VW bug. I'm not sure how many HP it had, but it was well under a 100. Hey, what do you expect for $100? Favorite, next the the E, was a '73 Pontiac Catalina with a 4-barrel 454. It caught fire when I ran it in the local demolition derby.

I, also, had 'Herbie, the Love Bug'. Just not much room for luvin':p
An early 70's VW Super Bug. 1500cc, 4 speed manual.
Top speed (wind assisted and down hill) about 75mph.
Clarion 4 speaker radio-cassette - usually cranked up.
Those were the days!
