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

1987 Chevy Cavalier. It was a total POS by 2001 but I was 17 and I loved it - all the freedom I needed. No chance my parents could afford a car for me so I bought it for $150 off my neighbor, an ex-trucker who junked cars as a retirement hobby.
A few years later he was killed when a chain on his trailer snapped and one fell on top of him. (Not a “cool” memory but a fitting death for a badass dude) RIP

My 65 Chevy was purchased for $100. Those were the days.
Alfa Romeo, Sprint Veloce coupe, 1958, 1250 CC aluminum engine, scat pack to 1500 CC. Ghia rear and Ferrari influenced front. Bought it from a guy who raced her at Bridgehampton. $800. Naturally, as a College Senior totaled the car on the Philly Expressway in 1970.

Seems like the Favorite Guitarist and Famous People threads have been closed. Too bad. Now the Boardwide Topics are aggrieved old farts ranting about politics and religion.
Another car from my youth was the 1968 Javelin. Nice car, good handling, more pep than I expected from a 290 V8. Added an 8 track player and blasted Jefferson Airplane.
