Sorry this is so late everyone, I lost internet this morning and I just now realized it was Sunday and I hadn't posted the question. Oops....
Anyway, today was my niece's 16th birthday. She's already talking about the kind of car she wants (well, she's been talking about that for the last year lol) so it got me to thinking. What was your first car?
I started driving in my parent's 73 LeMans, an ugly brown thing, that barely got me from point A to point B. The first car that was mine was a 78 Firebird. It was also pretty ugly, maroon with an orange racing stripe, but it was sweet! It was not very practical though, a V-8 engine in the hands of a 18 year old. I had to put the seat all the way up to reach the gas and brake (5' 1" here) and I could barely see over the steering wheel so my dad put bricks under the seat to raise it and I sat on 2 glider cushions, but I loved driving it! I got a tape converter for the 8 track player and I was set. So many memories....
