Well the Kid bought the Beretta.. pretty neat car - Page 2

cowboy_big_rich · 08-04-2005, 11:13 PM

has had it for two days now.

He changed the oil (which looked clean, and was at proper level)

he bought cleaners and spent over an hour cleaning the interior

put a full tank of gas in it and has put about 50 miles in a day and one half.

overall, I think he did a great job scopin it out and made a nice choice.

Still driving the 98 Chevy p/u I got next. It's got some battle scars, but it gets me to work.

Awesome!

I was scared SHITLESS at the time, though.

I bet.

My brother tried to outrun a cop who was chasing him for speeding. Flipped the car, killed the passenger. My brother wound up doing 10 years for vehicular manslaughter.

He wasn't even doing 60, car flipped on a gravel road.

My first car was a Ford Festiva. Dear gawd that was a death trap. Don't remember the year but it had a Cobra etched in the rearview glass which was "Freakin Awesome" (Carl from ATHF). Also had this sweet ass wood shift knob. It died like 3 months after I got it. At the end of it's 'life' the oil looked like a combination of honey and sawdust.

Someone threw sawdust in it to hide the knocking, eh?

My first car was a 65 Dodge Dart 225 slant 6. I bought it for $90 bucks from, Believe it or not, a little old neighbor lady who's lawn I mowed.

It was a damn good car and served me well throughout HS.

My first car was a $675 Ford Torino.

It was Hunter Green and I had polished slotted Mags on it and N50x14 on the rear and G60x14 on the front.

But this is pretty much what I had.

Great first car.

Frosty · 08-05-2005, 06:39 AM

Heh, my first car was a green '74 Gran Torino (think Starskey and Hutch, without the stripe). It only had 33,000 miles and I paid $650. I had a few problems with the power including a time when I did a power slide, hit a curb and put it up o hedge (all four tires off the ground). My dad made me sell it and I got a '66 Bug. No power problems there.

**ExtremeChief** · 08-05-2005, 07:34 AM

My first car was a 1976 Cougar XR7. Everyone called it the 'mosquito killer' because it smoked so bad. Big ass tank.

Coach · 08-05-2005, 07:48 AM

First car that I drove was not by choice, but I didn't have any money to begin with, and I got it for free, so I guess I couldn't bitch about it too much.

Exactly that model, 1970 Toyota truck, only with the color yellow.

**Donger** · 08-05-2005, 07:49 AM

1973 Chevy Chevelle when I was 14.0 Wrapped it around a tree when I was 14.1

Next was a Renault Fuego, I believe as punishment.

I am guessing so. Bitch of it is a family member sold me the car.

KCDU · 08-05-2005, 02:34 PM

My first car, bought it back in 1997 for $250. Still have it to this day, only now its got a 460 4bbl instead of the anemic 400 that was in it.

R&GHomer · 08-05-2005, 03:42 PM

My first car was a 1970 Duster, with a 318 mopar. The car originally belonged to my Grandma but it was given too me on my 16th birthday.

I drove the living chit out of that car. I learned how to power brake, drive sideways down the street in the snow, or "dry pavement", pull a 180 from reverse to 1st.... Gawd that was a lot of fun. Alas, when I finally had to put her down; she only had 2nd and 3rd gear.

Pants · 08-05-2005, 04:06 PM

Heh, my 1st car was a 1986 Camry. Never broke down the whole time I had it. Hah, I never even washed it, didn't change oil for the longest time, didn't do shit... It was good to me and probably still serves good the people I sold it to.

Sure-Oz · 08-05-2005, 04:06 PM
