I used to drive that?!

I was sitting at sonic today and a little S10 blazer, just like the one i had before i got my truck, pulled up across the way, and I couldn't help but thinking..I used to drive that?? What was I thinking!? I could run over it now if I wanted to and I still get the same gas mileage!

My first car was a 74 dodge colt 4 door then a 89 dodge colt hatchback. Both of them would fit in the bed of my truck.

ha, my first car was a 76 caddy coupe de ville, green.... from the drivers seat the hood looked as big as a foo9tball field, but man o man, nothin like the sound of a flipped air cleaner lid on an 850 rochester quadrajet, feeding 501 cubic inches of hungry motor

My first was a '65 El Camino, nice rig until my dad backed into the side of it. Then it was an '67 Pontiac Venture 2dr HT bought new by my dad. After that the list get's really long. The list ends with the '06 truck for now.

How about how long you have owned a rig? The '67 Pontaic I have had for going on 20yr's now. Then the '88 Zuki I have I bought in 1995, it's the part time daily driver.

As a side note, that Zuki I have I lifted and modded during my first honeymoon. Think that caused any problems with the marriage?

I had an 89 Mercury Sable that I bought from my parents for my first car. It was poo brown and still had the dried and crusted up boogers on the sides of the passenger side seat from when I was still a kid. I always told my friends to feel the "sandpaper" and got a great laugh after I told them what it really was.

My first car was a 92 Caddy DeVille (dads hand-me-down), then my 57 Chevy BelAir (high school ride), then a 95 Honda Accord (dad bought for me for college-I was hellbent on drivin my Chevy to college; tried to talk him into a 93 Dodge 350 flatbed 5 speed, Cummins of course, but he didnt want to drop another 3 grand on it although it woulda been a better choice), then the 03 Ram and now the 07; Ive been lucky I never had a POS to drive and I still have them...the Caddys had 4 trannys and needs another (my dad went through the first one) the Honda is missing third gear, and the BelAir is sittin in the garage waiting for funds for a Currie 9inch rearend and new wiring harness...I still got 'em all (Im only 24)
