Your first car.

[Purpura Delujo]

I know this has probably been posted already, but I am curious now. As I'm picking up my first car next weekend I want to know what other people have had. Mine will be an Aussie Valiant VJ 4 door Regal, anyone owned one of these or a Val before? Some tips or suggestions on them would help me alot!

I my first car was a 1972 Pontiac Grand Ville (Bonneville with more options ) with a 455ci engine and true dual exhausts! it was a blast to drive but my gas tank was always empty I threw a rod in the engine while driving very fast with very little oil in the car.

Hilarious, since my first "car" (had trucks before that) was a 1991 Mazda 323 1.6L Slushbox. The tranny was teh weaksauce and I ended up swapping it out for a 5spd std.

I then went all out on the mods. Swapped in a JDM 1.8L Turbo, exhaust, intake, chipped ecu, wheels & tires, headwork, new cams, lightened flywheel, and nitrous

Nitrous ended the fun for me. The tranny had felt a bit weak after all the mods were done. The first time I was racing, I hit the nitrous and the tranny blew its load all over the street! Shards of metal where everywhere. Wires were cut, hoses were leaking, lets just say I was pissed. Couldnt find a shop locally that would strengthen one of those trannys for me. I gave up and ended up parting it out (lost alot of money) I was mad. Just one of the many reasons im not a fan of nitrous.

That put me off modifying imports, even though it was my fault

---73 Camaro--- Got it when I was 14, drove it till the A-frame broke.
I still have the body(what's left of it). This is the one
that started my camaro obsession (7 more!! )

First car I ever owned was an 83' Mustang GT. After about 2 years, $5,000 worth of performance parts and 290,000+ on the odometer. I blew the motor racing. I still have the car sitting behind my garage. Car def created my love for stangs

First car I drove and was considered mine was a 93 Ford Taurus Wagon, very cool car loved it till the transmission went out. The first car I paid for was a ’84 bmw 318i fun for a while but when down hill quick, traded it for $200, I don’t think it was worth that much
