...I bought it with the money from my first job, and was almost dizzy after putting that much money on anything.

The transmisson was worn so I had to learn to double-clutch, which is actually easy once you've cracked it.

The window gaskets leaked so in a heavy rain water would collect in the floorboard, you woulsn't know until you hit the brakes and it woul rush foward. So I drilled some holes in the back floor to let it out.

What was your firsdt car ?

[Skooz]

1974 Mustang 2. $1700.

I could write a novel about everything that happened in that car over the following 5 years.

My first car was a 1930 Model A coupe. No… IT WAS NOT BRAND NEW!!!

Fiat Topolino 500 - 1936 (I purchased it in 1961, for my 125 cc Gilera motorbike + 10,000 lire)

'63 Chrysler Newport, white 4 door. I bought it for $300 when I got back from Germany in '85. That car was bombproof. The radio didn't work, so I improvised by connecting the antenna (6 ft. whip, original equipment, I kid you not) to a Radio Shack DX-200 (I think). I think I had the only car I knew of that you could be driving down the street in Spokane and be listening top BBC shortwave.

1958 Chevy Apache school bus converted to a camper. Bought it to live in while working on an oil rig in the Badlands of ND during the 1981 oil boom.
