I'm just wondering what was the first car that some people owned.
For me, it was a 2 door Ford Escort that I bought for $400 from friends of my parents. When it turned up, the front bumper was pulled out in a V shape from having a tow rope tied to it. I quickly fixed that by driving up to a corner of the house and pushed it back in. :shock: Later, I picked up a bullbar from the auctions for $5 and somehow it bolted straight on. It was my own little rally car and I took it places that it was never designed to go and got it bogged on quite a few occassions.
I remember one time I drove 2 of the wheels up on the gutter, drained all the oil and filled it up with new oil. I didn't realise that because the car was on an angle, I wasn't getting a correct reading on the dipstick until I drove around the block in my own personal smoke machine.
I eventually sold it to a girl at work who painted it Hot Pink. I was devastated.
*Note* For those that are too young to own a car yet. Please don't tell us what car you are going to buy, or what car your Dad owns.That doesnt count I am afraid.
