First cars
Okay let's see what your first car looked like, or what you drve now.
This is what my first car looked like except it was brown. That was one tough car.

In my gallery:
http://www.shreveport.com/forums/vie...76&k2=1&gid2=0 It was either an 87 or an 89 (I think 89) Ford Ranger 4x4 with a 2.8L V6 and a 5 speed. I got it in March of 1993, at the end of my Junior year at Byrd. I kept it until the end of my first semester at LSU, when I bought my second car (and my first new car) a 1995 Acura Integra: http://www.shreveport.com/forums/vie...76&k2=2&gid2=0 1.7L 4 cylinder (180hp) and a 5-speed but it weighed nothing. That was the car that I once got up to 140 on the bridge between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. That's the fastest I've ever gone on land. |

This is as close as I could find to my first!
The lovely Ford Galaxy 500! It was even ugly then, but I didn't care I had my freedom!

First car was a truck. I was at LA Tech and working on a dairy to help pay my books and tuition for school. Did some hunting, fishing and rides to Wilmart on the Chatam Highway. We would pick up frozen drinks and head to horsefly lake and name we made up for the amount them around that lake way back in the woods you see. I can tell NO more as to what might have happened then
Now days I have a truck and yes red has been my choice of color from get to go. I will always have a truck. It would be nice to have a car but the wife has that covered so I have CHOICE in my life That boat is a fine tuned fishing machine. Please see LA Outdoors group

Well let's see..
The year was oh.. 1984, I suppose after having experienced my brothers wrecking a few of the family cars, dear ol' dad wouldn't let me drive the family cars So I saved up my pennies and bought a motorcycle.. dear ol' dad just LOVED THAT a few years later, 1987, saved up my pennies and bought a brand new/used 1976 Malibu Classic. I just loved this car, the stereo I put in this car cost as much as the car did here's a pic taken from my 1st apartment balcony.. Here's a lousy a pic.. but this was a fun car.. this was a 1976 Pontiac Catalina.. a big ol' gas guzzling engine in this one.. Inherited this from my dad, who inherited it from his sister... the year was around 1994, and this '76 catalina had only 40,000 miles on it. and my current pride and joy.. a real workhorse.. my brand new used Dodge Ram 1500 |

Howela, I actually had 2- 64' Chevys and both were brown. I had one, then the next time I brought another. They were tough cars, took a licking and kept on going. I was in Mississippi one day in one of my Chevys, I stopped at a red light and a guy rear ended me, his car was damaged ,mine wasn't not even a scratch. Drove down to next light and got rear ended again. No damage to mine, was to other car. And yes neither accident was my fault, first guy was drunk. But those Chevys were built like a tank.

64 Chevy Impala
My Impala was brown(tan) also, although it was so sun faded when I owned it, it almost looked pink.
It was a tough one, despite my oil leak. I would drive my little sister to school in it and she would tell my mom she wanted me to take her because of my singing goat! This concerned mom during the drug crazed 60's until we found out she was talking about the speaker cover in the back seat which had the "Impala" on the crome cover. |
