Thread of the Day: What Was Your First Car? - MotorTrend Magazine
My first car was a 1973 Chevy Nova hatchback. This was also the first car I ever got all 4 wheels off the ground. My father took me car shopping. it was EXACTLY the car I wanted. I still remember the day I first saw it. I knew I had to have it and I still do, 37 years later. My first car was and still is a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T-S/E It has the 440 Magnum with a six pak and factory A/C. The vinyl top still looks pristine. My wife and I dated in this car, brought my first child home from the hospital in it 27 years ago. I can't ever imagine selling it. My first car that I registered and actually drove legally on the road was a 1985 Plymouth Reliant K. It was an excellent car with good room decent speed and great gas mileage, except city driving. because in the city I got about 15-18 MPG but on the highway at 72 going through the hills on I81(Catskills up pass Syracuse) I got 32-35 MPG. My first NEW car was even better. Changed brakes, oil(super tech from walmart every 7,000 miles and super tech oil filter), spark plugs just champions basic, and an air filter(Fram).
