1984 Cutlass Ciera, was a POS but it was what I could afford while working part time after school. Next I found a sweet 1979 El Camino that I loved ( was girlfriend; now and ever since wife hated it).

I didn't have my License in High School, but my sister had a 1989 Celebrity Sedan (was supposed to be silver, but it had been in an accident earlier in its life, and had been painted battleship gray) 2.8L V6, Power Locks, 3 Speed Auto, it was a good car right up until we sold it when Dad got the Truck; I myself when I got my license, bought the car my sister had after the Celebrity; a 1998 Plymouth Breeze, that was a good car right up to the point I blew the Engine Sky High on I-40, and now I have my 2010 Aveo (and an Upstanding member of the AveoForums)

1965 Galaxie 500 XL. It was black with white interior. At first I was not happy with the car. Of course I wanted a GTO but got a Galaxie instead. Not quite the same. But, I put wheels on it and it looked great. Everyone at school liked it. I learned about working on cars while I had this.

 

Here is a picture of a black galaxie 500 XL. It's not mine, but it is just like mine. I'd love to have that car back now.

1995 4x4 Black Tahoe. Ghettoed it out with subwoofers and the works lol. Was fun back then, but man that stuff is dumb these days :)

1990 S-10 Blazer 2 door 4wd 4.3l. I beat the heck out of it and it always came back for more. Bought it with 89k miles, sold it with 160k a few years later. To be honest, I miss it.

First I had the Golden Chariot, a Gary Fischer Mountain Bike.

 

After 2 years of Kmart, I had the money to get my first car, a 1996 Sedan DeVille. Man, she was a cream puff, had 38,947 miles when I got her in 2008.

 

Love that car, driven lots of fun places. Learned a hard lesson or two, like a light pole when I was new on icy roads, or taking out 4 fence posts when I was on an unfamiliar route.

 

Still have her though, plan on restoring her after graduation.

Sure, just a FWD V8 Cadillac, but what a fun car
