This was my first car.

70 1/2 camaro RS/SS. I wasn't good in the snow especially on bald 17in summer tires. painted it and it sits until i have money to work on it.
before paint in high school


now

man I love the split bumper Camaros, that's a great looking ride man

First car was a '80 Ford Fairmont, but by time I got it ready for inspection, the body rotted out on it & went to the scrap yard. Next was an '78 Mercury Monarch w/ 351 Windsor V8 swapped and Keystone Raider wheels (essentially Crager SS wheels). The frame rusted out shortly after and I picked up an '84 Cavalier dirt cheap until it was totalled from behind while waiting to turn into my parent's driveway.

found a pic of basically my (not this one but like it) first car. a 1987 hyundai excell 5 dr with optional 5spd manual. otherwise it came with a 4spd stick.

still have it though its a bit of a project now

not the actual car. but same model. Its a 1974 Mazda 808 sports coupe. My father bought me one for my 16th birthday. Jerked the motor and trans. dismantled the interior and gave it to me for my 16th birthday. Took me 6 months of every other weekends to put it back together.

a rusty as hell 92 loyale, Sadly no pics

I had it, beat and killed it before i even got my license.

No pics, but video of the death.

No that is not me narrating it, thats my friend, hes a little odd

Ah yeah, just a little odd...

First car I drove regularly (families car) -



First car I actually owned -

Except mine was a 4 door meaning it was EVEN SLOWER.

Hated it, and im so glad i picked up my subaru.

I HAVE BIG PICTURES!

351ci V8. Lots of modifications that I'm too tired to type out.

Windsor or Cleveland?

I have a dismantled 351w sitting in my garage for a future project... (non-Subaru related)

My first car:



oh oops wrong pic....

My first car was a 1982 Jaguar XJ6... traded it for my legacy wagon and 500 bucks cash.

sadly, I never took pictures prior to this. These pictures are almost 5 years old now, I had it for two years prior to this.

My sister ran a stop sign while i was out of the country. I came home to this. Need i say more?

...and what pain did you inflict upon your sister???

None. I quite literally cried though. (of course, after the storm of colorful language.

Was she alright? Any details on what hit her at what speed, never see a legacy hit up like that.

Hit by a 2000 or so expedition towing a 20 foot boat at 45 miles an hour. (she was doing around 30-40 when hit) she walked out with a scratch on her arm, but otherwise all good. It pushed the car about 20 feet, and she missed a large tree by about 5 feet. I've always said my car saved her life.

amazing. Very safe cars. Good to know everyone was alright. Sad on the Subaru's part but did well.

the motor cranked right up after. oh well. all four tires were still inflated and it was touching the ground at the point of impact. I couldnt find a junkyard that would pay me for the car, only 2 offered to take it away for free. (which is sadly what i had to do)

Thats weird usually you can get like $200-$300 easy just for scrap metal here. Maybe you would have been better off pulling the motor but owuld have probably been difficult.

How did she not see that coming?

16 year old driver on the phone, didnt see the stop sign either.
