My first car was a 1962 Ford Mustang. Loved that car got it in hs for 250 bucks. From that went to a Pinto, then Volkswagon bug.. but I’m old so it’s all relative I guess.
My first car was a 1984 Chevrolet Camaro with a 350. It was 1991. I summarily smashed it, and was lucky to live. I took my turn at a VW Beetle, but have now gotten a Toyota Tacoma (my 2nd) and love it. There were a few cars in between that don’t merit a mention.
