I'm only 26 so my first car was a 2000 Honda Civic Si in Electron Blue Pearl. Mods were Eibach springs/shocks, short shifter with urethane bushings, cold air intake, 4-1 header, high-flow cat, and catback exhaust. Everything else was stock. I took care of it religiously and I sold it for quite a lot in 2007 when I bought my current BMW. I was proud to have a clean, good-looking and nice-sounding Civic among all the ghetto ones.
To this day I miss how raw and simple that car was sometimes. Revving that Honda 1.6L motor to 8k was always a rush, and the manual tranny was the best I've ever driven. And the mods were cheap! Top-quality exhaust systems were around $500 just to give an idea! |

A 1967 maroon Chevy Impala. Those were the days when the Impala was a nice looking and fine handling car. It had so much leg room! I loved that car. I guess you remember your first car fondly, like your first girl friend.
Then came a 1969 Mercury Cougar and it broke down after a year and a half. Last edited by hpowders; 03-22-2011 at 11:41 AM.. |

My first was a 1973 Fiat Spyder convertible (ironically the second in this thread). I had a baking sheet under the driver's floor mat since there was a Flintstone sized hole in the rusted out floor. It was far from a fine automobile.
Second Car = 1964 Chevrolet Corvair convertible. I rebuilt the flat six motor over a summer. It taught me a lot about cars and motors. I then went two decades + before returning to a convertible....
