A 1963 Mercury Monterey. It was a 4-door sedan, not a van like today's Monterey. It had a reverse-sloping rear window with a power opener. Ugly as sin, but had a _huge_ back seat ... important for a 17-year-old in those days.

Ooooooo I was HOPING somebody would ask that!
Here you go.... 15 years old (1976).... pulled it from behind a whorehouse after cutting down a small tree between the fender and front bumper.... (1951 Studebaker Starlite Coupe)
Owned it till I was 24 and cried as it drove away....

'76? Pinto. Had a big hole in the floor on driver's side. I had to be carefull where I rested my feet.
1974 Cadillac Sedan Deville Brougham
472/4 banger
NICE ride
too bad i ended up having to give it up after it i got all 4 wheels in the air.
Heavy car but didn't stop me from getting it 10 feet of the ground.
(Don't ask how but i did !!!! AHHH those teen years were a blast)

My first car was a 1986 Ford Mustang 4 cyl 2.3L
My second car was a 1988 Ford Mustang Cobra GT 5.0L, which I totalled
My third car was a 1992 Honda Civic 1.5L peppy fun to drive but ultimately no real guts
My fourth car was the ex-wife's 1990 Plymouth Sundance--a tank but butt ugly.
My fifth car is my 2000 LS-8. Happy with performance, unhappy with my repair bills of late, totalling over $2000.00 CDN in ignition coil replacement, spindle rod replacement, etc.
My next car will be a Porsche or a Mercedes (sorry guys--I was a die-hard Ford guy but the LS has really disappointed me with it's repair woes all happening after the warrantee expired).

Blew the engine and dropped a 302 in it.
Same as this one, even the color.

My first car was 69 Mustang coupe with a 302 and 3 spd. I bought when I was 14 for $1200. I never got it fixed up real nice but it got me through high school. Then a flood damaged 93 chevy Z71 350 with a granny low 5 spd. Odometer stopped working at 54,000 for about 6 years, works now (I bought it from my brother who bought from another guy that it quite on). Made it through college with this one (very dependable truck even though I like Fords better) Now I have a 03 Lincoln LS sport. Acutally I still have all three and probably will for a long time. The Mustang is still my love but it is only driven on Saturdays. The other two I take turns driving. Unforunatley though I have a lot of work to do to the 'stang. At 16 I did not relize the amount of special effects in The Dukes of Hazzard and needless to say real cars dent when hitting things and components break when you jump a car.

All that since I turned 15 in '93 wow! I dont think I left anything out. But I could have. Numbers 5-8 were bought when I owned a body shop and were wrecks that were turned for profit and all owned cuncurrently. Of all them I still kick my self for selling 1 & 3. I miss 2 & 4 but life will go on. 9 has a date with a future project and will be the parts doner even though its a good truck and runs strong. 10 I will never sell!!! 11 was fun while I was in Germany for 2 years. 12 I got for my wife and lets just say you get what you pay for in a Korean built car. The warranty ran out and LOOK OUT! Had to go so we welcomed lucky #13 to the family and my wife is happier than she thought she would be.
OK before someone says it 13 years of driving 13 cars I wounder if this pace could be maintained??

First Car...
My first ride was a '55 Chevy. No, not the cool one with the V8. Mine was a hand-me-down two-toned blue and white four-door, six-cylinder given to me by my Grandfather. This was in 1969. It got the best gas mileage of any car that I have ever owned. My second was a 1965 Mustang fastback 2+2 - red with white interior and automatic.
