'67 Super Beetle with fiberglass flipfront end and 6" wider than stock fiberglass rear fenders with fatty rubber. Was a fun little car for 10 days and then I was rear ended (parked) by a '68 Strato Chief (drunk driver) and the 1500 cc engine was all of the sudden my arm rest. SGI wrote it off.

Mine was a huuuuuuuuuge late 70's Ford LTD. Green and rusty. I was driving down the road and the wheel popped off and just about hit my dentist as he was driving by! Was fun though, I could fit most of my ball team into it.

[mallard d69]

in 1996 i purchased my first car from a family friend for 1500$ it was a 1994 ford tempo what a little car that was. belive it or not i could lay rubber in 1st and 2nd and chip it in 3rd. i bet a guy 100$ i could do it (he lost). i drove it for 6 more years i'd still be driving it today but a stupid old lady wasn't paying attention and pulled out in front of me. insurance gave me 1200$ for it. not to bad if you ask me, my first car cost me $200 and i drove it for 6.5 years

 

[my mod]

1959 Merc meteor then 1959 Merc station wagon then 62 saratoga, 62 chevy bel air, and, and, and, Funny thing, they all would only last a couple of months then they were destroyed. engines would blow up, roofs would cave in when they were upside down for a little while, They just would not run again after they were parked in sloughs overnight. I just don't understand why people say they just don't make them like they used to. My cars now last a lot longer than those did

 

[munhoez]

Mine was a 1978 Olds Cutlass w 305 and a glasspak. i went thru 4 sets of rears in one summer, lots pof smoke shows and spinning the ch!t out of the tires. I let all my friends carve their name/message in the inside roof.
ah the memories.

[Grizzly Adams]

1946 Cheby stylemaster. Must have been 30" long. Used to put 15 peeps in that thing to go to gravel pit parties. Had a rumble seat and one of those old school swivel searchlights {real good with aircraft landers in it}. In grade 12 we put her on blocks, cut the roof off and turned it into a dual 8 seat hot tub. Also the wiper motor went right away so I tied a loop of 50lb test thru the vent windows for wipers. Whoever got shotgun had to clean the windows!
