    First car:

    1989 Saab 900SE, Grey with grey interior. Stick shift. Great fun in that car.

    Then I had a 1998 Saab 900SE Turbo. Holy crap, you want to talk about a fast car? Good god.

    My parents were kind enough to buy those for me as I grew up. First one at 16 (actually 15.5) second at around 19/20.

    Then I moved out, and got a 2006 Mazda RX-8 Shinka. Another SUPER awesome car. I'll most definitely have another some day.

    Sold that, got a 1998 Jeep Wrangler. Lots of fun, I'd still have it except it was falling apart! Not my fault, the previous owner beat it up. It was originally just supposed to be an in-between car but I loved it so much I kept it over a year

    Once I sold it this past June I landed in my Tacoma! A 2005 TRD Sport, white, access cab. Love my new truck! Just need to find a hot RX-8 to tow behind it!

    In 76, I don't think there was anything other than just a "pick-up"...no Tacoma, Tundra, or any other specific models...Loved that truck and just this year got back into another Toyota Pickup... Now I remember why I loved it so much!

    Pupped my ride - Dog bench, Black stock rims, Tail Gate antitheft mod, Bed storage and sleeping platform, Action Cap w/Yakima rack and Rola basket, Seatbelt chime off, Tentasaurus
    First car I drove was '76 Ford Maverick - mom and dad's. It died just before I got my licence (I think I contributed)
    [​IMG]

    Got my licence on Dad's new truck, had to do the parking with the cap on - 1980 Ford F100
    [​IMG]

    My first car was this POS Dodge ASSPAIN (Aspen). Went though starters and alternators like underwear. I cracked the chassis doing a jump with a half dozen friends on board...
    [​IMG]

    Followed with '78 Plymouth Whor-izon. Alternator kept dying, but the tranny went in this one finally - cracked through the body below the front bumper
    [​IMG]

    '72-'74 (?) Dodge van with 3 on the Tree - learned to drive a manual the fun way - I probably had as much fun driving this as anything else (it was our departmental work truck at a resort in the Rockies I worked at)
    [​IMG]

    None of these are originals - they're all Google shots. True story though.
