What was your first car and a cool memory that goes along with it.

Embarrassed to admit it, but at one time I wanted to buy this.

We had a neighbor with this version, and I wanted it soooooo bad. They traded it the year I was old enough to get my learners permit.

Early 70's Thunderbird, which was my buddy's first car. The Thunderbird went through a lot of changes. This particular year was not so great. Neither was the 1963 Thunderbird, which looked like a cast off from The Jetsons.

I never owned one, but these cars are an absolute blast to drive
S2000 are becoming very rare and very expensive
Z350 is a great beater fun car
Miata is an amazingly cheap and reliable sports car. No muscle, but it is like riding on rails when cornering. The 5th generation finally has some low end torque. It is a shame I am taller and older, both make getting into the car and staying in the car a bit uncomfortable.

How can I forget this car, RPM god with each gear lasting almost twice as long.

Always liked the dash on the 66 Oldsmobile Toranado.

ha, no kidding...had a 73 Chevy vega hatchback...sounds whimpy compared to what I see here, but back seat folded down, put a sweet sound system in there and had lots of fun laying down in the back!
