Question What was your first car? Post a pic!

My first car was a 1991 Dodge Dynasty in rosewood. Yes, the color was rosewood. I had no say in the matter, though I tried. I was 15, and my sister wrecked our mini-van. So the choice between a replacement car for her was the Dynasty, or a cherry-red '93 Sunfire convertible (note: we were moving to Florida only a few months later). Of course my mom steps in and DEMANDS we go with the Dynasty because "I don't want Jenny flipping the car and breaking her brother's neck!"

Good old mom. Worst case scenario everytime, without fail.

The Dynasty was a love-hate relationship. It was a tank for sure, and actually drove pretty comfortably. Inside was VERY cush, and it was my first car I ever ripped apart to do my first system, which of course was ghetto as all get out. The car burnt alternators faster than in burned oil, but there were many good times in that car. Many good times...

Pic to come as soon as I get back from church.

Oh! I forgot her name! I used to DJ for my friends parties (and my initials are DJ, how cool is that) but I never had a DJ name. My closet friends all call me D, or Big D, so a girl I was DJ-ing for noticed that the "y" on "Dynasty" had fallen of my car (the POS). She started calling me DJ D*Nasty, and the name stuck to me, and my car, "The D*Nasty".

1986 Chevy Cavalier in gray & rust with a 4-speed. That car was such a huge piece of ****. My folks bought it for my sister (who is 2 years older) and I, when I was about 4 months away from getting my drivers license. I think we had it for less then 8 months before it went belly-up. My parents then handed down their Geo to my sister & I and bought something for themselves…. Sorry, no pics of either car, but the Geo did prove to be a good little car lasting both my sister and I through college.

My first car, actually a truck, was a 1984 Mighty Max p/u.
My dad bought a new Ford F150 a few months before I got my license and I got his old work truck. That thing leaked oil so bad when I got home after a long drive, smoke came out from under the hood, we used to about that, I eventually put a used motor in it that had about 30k miles, the rest of the truck had well over 100k miles on it, lowered it about 4" and put a nicer stereo system in it. Then I ended up in a ditch back in Feb. of '94,
it was raining heavy and I hydroplaned and slid well over 200' into the ditch. Goodby to my first truck.

Mine was a 94 bonneville SSEI. I liked it cuz it was pretty fast. It had a 3.8 V6 supercharged. It made a lot of ricers depressed that a big boat thing would smoke them. My bro drives it now.

well, i can't seem to find the pic of me on the car, but here's A pic of the car. i think the best story to sum up the look of this car, is when my close friend's grandpa gave me props for my car. oh the shame...



my car had stock rims, but that's the color. wow it is awful. rosewood. meh.

My first car was a 1984 Pontiac Firebird (2.8L V6) I could have gotten out and run faster than that car could go. It was three diffrent colors burgundy, gray, and black! I only payed 300 dollars for it and sold it two years later for 800! I love stupid people!
