My first new car was my beloved 1996 SOB (Standard Onyx Black) Impala SS... when SS meant something! Her name... Sydney. My first vehicle ever owned was a 1994 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R

First car I drove - 81 Olds Delta 88 Royale sedan
First car I bought - 89 Cavalier RS (bought new)
Followed by a 98 Cavalier, 2001 Malibu, 2003 Malibu, and now a 2006 HHR.
Of all the cars I have owned, the 89 Cavalier and the 2006 HHR are the best of them all.

First car I drove: '65 Chevy Belair
First car given to me: '71 Chevy Belair Police Special 400 engine
First car I purchased: '78 Toyota p/u (boy, the Japanese sure didn't know to produce good sheet metal back then)
Ok, now that you all know how old I am, my favorite car is still my HHR. I love the older design and enjoy the mileage, comfort, and roominess it offers. I had to go smaller and more fuel efficient. This was a great choice!

First car was a 1993 Cadillac Seville STS. It's not as much a pimp-mobile as other cadillacs, but it had the Northstar V8. Bad on gas, and expensive parts and labor. I'm still trying to sell it (hint hint, lol...)

A fun stylin' car!
Here's one from the 'net, same color as mine, but I had more rust!
Ok, first car was a 1968 Olds 98 four door. Grey with no skirts and lots of dents. My friend Paul peed in the gas tank to make it to a gas station one time!
Paul and Willy (two brothers), and I ran a disco back in 1978. They gave me the car after I worked the turntables for the summer. I still don't know if it was worth it!
Boogie, Oggie, oggie!
455 CI 400 HP stock. A great boat for a young guy. A lot of power with limited handling, but a lot of Detroit steel to compensate for an errors in judgment!
Here is a pic of a green one, sans dents:
As you can see, I love GMs from the '60's!

My first car was a 1974 pinto station wagon. The first car I bought myself was a 1977 trans am special edition. Never go from a pinto to a trans am. Good way to get your license suspended becouse of speeding tickets. I have some pics of my TA, but never took a single pic of the pinto, too ashamed.
