Used ‘82 Chevette. I came up with $750 and dad came up with the other $750 to get it.
My first car..that I owned was a '74 Ford Bronco. The first car I drove regularly was a '66 Ford Mustang. Wish I had them both back.
I do still own a '61 Volkswagen two door truck. It was my regular driver back in '78-'81....
First car was a ‘78 Chevette. Had tons of fun with it, packed full of high school buddies and cruising around town.
Even got it out on the highway a couple times. It was fine in the city, but over 65 it made a James Bond smokescreen. Hit 74 in in once while running downhill on a long straight stretch of highway. Seemed like quite the feat at the time.
