My first car was a brand spankin new '77 Pinto station wagon. I put 14" 50 series Kelly Springfield tires on the rear on Crager SS's. I had a Pioneer KP-500 under dash cassette player with a Clarion 40 watt booster/equalizer. I had that little car doing 97 mph with 5 people and the back end full of scuba equipment during a diving trip to salisbury rock quarry near Toledo, Ohio. Those are some great memories!

Thanks for bringing them back for me!

69 Ford Maverick, 4.0 inline 6, header that dumped out behind front left wheel. It was so loud it would set off car alarms as i cruzed through parking lots. I was in the process of restoring it and converting it to a 5.0 V8 when it got hit by a drunk driver while parked in front of my house. Fun car!

1955 Volkswagon. It cost me $60.00 and was missing the driver door when I got it. I picked up a door at the auto wrecker for a buck. It was ok on the flat but on a hill you were in first gear and 10 mph was the top speed it could get. I had to drive over the cascade mountains once to get it home to the Interior of BC from down on the Coast. One hill took me over two hours to climb at 5 mph. The trip took me 2 days to go 200 miles. Still I loved that little car. It was rated at 36 hp when new, and believe me mine wasn't new. It was also rated at a top speed of 56 mph. Mine would barely get 45mph downhill with a tailwind.

Nothing and I do mean nothing could beat it for tracking thru deep snow due mostly to the fact that it had tall really thin tires that gripped the snow like you were on rails. I often was able to drive when others were stuck in the ditch.

My first car too! '53 Mercury Monterey. Mine was a 2dr, white with red top, same engine but mine was a 3 speed trans. Built like a tank.

I was working after school at a Chevrolet dealership cleaning up around the shop. They took it on a trade for a new Chevrolet. They let me have it for $50 just to get it off the lot. It needed rings, (smoked a bit), so I picked up a cheap set for about $20, put them in and drove it for a couple of years.

It was really a pretty cool car. I had a lot of fun with it.

84' Ford Bronco (fullsize) with 351 bored 30 over, mild cam, with Headmann headers. Had Wrangler MT 31 x 10.50's on it they were a directional tire at that time...never got stuck and pulled out many with biggers tires and lifts, always figured I could go anywhere a set of 35's could go. Quite the party wagon in it's time, also believe it or not a very fast one. What can I say, I was 16!
