1969 Vauxhall Viva. These days, I'm in an Aston Martin, you know. The viva had no breaks, lights or windshield wipers- consequently we had a pretty nasty 'goodbye', - smashing up a new mazda full of gay men at the lights cos we couldn't stop, and me getting a really hefty fine. A man named "Butch" took the car off my hands.

I'm older than all of you....

My first car was a 1957 Jaquar XK140, Le Mans Edition. It was a thing of beauty (if NOT a thing of reliability...) I wish I still had it. My former brother in law, to whom I sold it, still has it, still drives it once in a while.

All behold the 1981 Dodge Mirada! (Actually I think the website says this pic is an '82, but it looks exactly like my old car, color and everything.)

Mine was a '68 Datsun "Fair Lady". Of course, mine was all rusted out and had the name Rex spray painted across the hood. But still. I was pretty cool back then. Now I drive a Toyota Camry. Sad

My cousin gave me an extra car he had. I 1969 Chevy Impala 4 door hardtop.

It had a 327 with a four barrel carb. When you pushed the pedal down the thing would go, but you could see the fuel gauge move.

My friends laughed at me but then they would want to go in my car because it would hold more people.

We once put a console piano in the trunk.

1989 (I think) Ford Tempo. It was a piece of crap. But it was MY piece of crap. It caught on fire once and the smoke smell never left it. It covered the permanent reefer smell quite nicely though. Laughing

1985 Volvo 240. Grey. Two windows rolled down ("automatic" windows). Only one rolled up. Back doors didn't open. Bought it for $1. Named it Annika.

Sigh. Annika...

I had a 1987 Crysler convertable, not mine though .. my brother loaned it to me for a couple months. There was a fuel hose leak. Then I had a 1993 Honda civic. It had a radiateor problem, leaked water like the Crysler leaked gas.

Good riddence.

I've owned a total of 17 motor vehicles, including two mopeds and 5 motorcyles.

My first one was a 1987 Chevy Celebrity that I purchased when I was twenty. It was several different colors because it was Frankensteined from several different cars. One of the headlights didn't work. The turn signals would not blink and had to be cranked manually. No air conditioning. Bent axles so that the tires kept wearing down and blowing. Only two of the doors would open, the front driver side and the rear passenger side. It had a hole near the halfway point in the gas tank, so that if you filled the tank all the way, half of it would leak out in about a mile. Something was wrong with the exhaust system so that some exhaust was getting into the car. Even in the winter, I had to drive with the windows cracked. "Cracked" was a very appropriate term--- spiderwebbing on the windshield and other windows. My friends nicknamed it "The Deathtrap".

The sound system was fucking incredible, especially because when you blasted music real loud, the whole car would rattle, rusty loose parts reverberating to Metallica, Tom Petty, Bloodhound Gang, whatever.

I paid $600.00 for the car. The sellers were my parents. Where they got it is beyond me, since I did not live with them and was barely on speaking terms with them at the time of the sale.
