Re: survey: your first car?
* what was the make and model of your first vehicle?
Ford Aspire * how did you aquire it? Bought it from a friend's dad for $1 * why did you decide that it was the car/truck for you? Didn't, it was a cheap, impulsive buy. * how long did you own it? Few months * any particularly powerful memories (good or bad) tied to the vehicle in question? It was raining, I took a turn at what I was sure was safe speed, brakes locked up, I hit a curb * did it have any mods? It already came with a cracked exhaust manifold. * what ever happened to it? Sold it to my old neighbor for $5, he fixed it, and not sure what happened next. * post pic(s) of the vehicle or similar if availible. http://www.iit.edu/~matleri/aspire.jpg I had a joke with my parents that I needed a new car that was safer(Mustang). I had liked mustangs for a long time, and now was my chance. I shopped around for a while, wasn't expecting to get a GT, but found a great deal on mine. I paid half, my parents paid half. It was my birthday/christmas present. |

Re: survey: your first car?
* what was the make and model of your first vehicle?
1965 Mustang * how did you aquire it? Given to me by my parents. It was in rough shape. Me and my dad restored it together. He bought the car, I bought the parts. I think I got the short end of the stick.... * why did you decide that it was the car/truck for you? At the time it was my favorite car and still is one of my favorites to this day. * how long did you own it? 13 years * any particularly powerful memories (good or bad) tied to the vehicle in question? I did alot of street racing in that car. Lots of good memories. * did it have any mods? By the time I was 17 it had 351W, Dart heads, .608 lift roller cam, Victor Jr intake, 750 Holley, 9" rear end, Mickey Thompson tires, etc. The list goes on and on. * what ever happened to it? I cut the car up and built an outlaw car out of it. I sold it in 2004 as a rolling chassis. * post pic(s) of the vehicle or similar if availible. ![]()

My first car was a 1974 Torino.
It started life as a Department of Transportation car. My parents got it at a state auction and gave it to me for my first car. The car came with a 351w 2v and a FMX transmission. That was later replaced with a 429 4v and a C6 with a shift kit.
