First car

[Slider-Bob]

72 Vega GT. Used. Abused. Rust Bucket. Crop duster.

I used to go to the gas station and say "fill up the oil, and check the gas".

I don't miss it a bit...Somehow it made Car Of The Year in 72...but not when I got it for free from my sister! Very tired...

I did learn how to drive a stick in it, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

First car was a 1978 nova 2 dr with the straight 6..... Who says you need oil!!! Ran it out several times, just add more and keep going! Today you can't leave the gas cap off without throwing a code... Don't ask how I know that!!

Mine was a 74 LTD that I payed 125.00 for. Complete with tie down straps to hold the rear bumper on.

First car was a 71 Ford Maverick

1986 Saab 900S, thought I was living in the lap of luxury...until I tried to change the oil.  Turns out none of us knew how a Saab works, so we drained the wrong oil and never figured it out.  It ended up being the differential oil, and the diff. seized up not too long after that.  Didn't know a thing about cars, bought a Haynes manual, read it cover to cover, pulled the engine and replaced the trans...been hooked on cars ever since then.

(not my car, just an example)
