What year/model/make was your first vehicle?
Did you have a name for it?
Got a photo of what it looked like?
How long did you have it?
I'll go first; I have no shame. The first vehicle I owned was a 1951 Wards Riverside bicycle. The second was a Raleigh Rudge. The first motor vehicle I owned was a 1957 Cheverolet BelAir, four door sedan. I got it with roughly 100,000 miles on it, and drove it from 1963 to 1970. When I traded it in, it had almost 280,000 miles on it. The only reason I traded it in wast he trunk rusted out, and the gas tank fell off when I hit a pothole with it full. It dragged for a while (I thought it was the tailpipe) then the noise stopped. I pulled off the road when the motor died. I looked back i the mirror, just as it burst into flames. That was exciting.

6 years ago I had a gray 1984 Ford Mustang. It was bad faded out and the radio didn't work. It caught on fire one day in the parking lot at school my senior year in high school. It just burned up while we all watched and was completely engulfed by the time the fire department got there. My friends all took pictures of it. One girl even made an MP3 of it.
Ahhh... The Beast. 1980 Chevy Scottsdale half-ton truck. It was my grandfathers and I loved that truck.
He left it to me when he passed away. Unfortunately, I was 7. I had to wait another 9yrs before I could drive it legally.
I had it for another 10yrs until some punk made an illegal left turn, right into my front quarter panel and bent the frame into the wheel well.
The first vehicle I bought was a 1975 Mustang II. I call it The Smurf. Its factory blue with a white leather interior.
My dad turned me into a grease monkey that summer to fix it up. We had to rebuild the engine.
He told me a girl should know how to fix it or at least know whats wrong with it so I wouldn't get swindled at a garage.
My dad is gone now but I still have that car and the memories.

Mazza, was that a Morris Minivan?
Not seen over here...
My first, and still my favourite vehicle, was a red BMX complete with the wee foam bits around the frame. I loved the thing, even when it caused me some terrible injuries, like the time I came off it doing God knows what speed and skidded about 3 feet along the pavement, causing a giant cut on my side that didn't stop bleeding for ages and I still have the scar and the bike, both of which I love.
1965 Morris 1100 - well you should've seen me then and it was going cheap
1977 Chevy 1/2ton Silverado 4x4. Still own it.
