If you could be 17 again....

If you could be 17 again....

Not my first car, but the car I started driving when I got my license at 17. This car was super cool and brought me to a lot of cool people and places. Got ripped away with me when the trans failed and I guess I'm still not over it. Great car, get one if you can, that's all I have to say wouldn't change it out for anything, just wish I got to go farther with it.

As much as I would love one of those they are hard to come by where I live ):

Technically this was my 1st car but I couldnt get it running so I don't really count it - 1980 Ford Pinto:


This was my 1st driveable car. I loved it and put 60K miles on it in the 2 yrs I had it. Wouldn't change a thing - 84 Honda Accord LX 5 spd


These are the same exact color/config as mine but not my pics BTW

Was just about to post on your build thread. This car was amazing and it sucks you have to get rid of it.... why not swap it with a 350 engine and trans?

I'm happy that my first car was a Chevy Beretta. Cheap car with no aftermarket support. It forced me to learn how to do real fabrication. I would like to be able to say that I would have rather had a Miata, but that was out of the $1000 budget. It went through a lot of phases, but here's the last one:

That was the plan while I had it, I wanted to do an LT1/460Le swap but at the time I had about 10 bucks to my name so I stripped it and bought my Explorer. I have my w124 now though and I'm trying to build it up just as good if not better, but honestly I don't get the same feeling the XJ6 gave me.

I had an 325e, and while I loved it and learned many driving lessons the hard way, I probably would force my kid into getting something fwd.

My prelude was my first car, I always wanted a black prelude, i searched for months looking for a clean low mileage 5spd, I finally found the right one and I'll never sell her!

I would probably stick with my first vehicle, 98 Jeep Wrangler 2.5 4 cyl. Once lifted it topped out at 67mph and took forever to get there. I think it saved me a lot of dumb driving decisions/tickets/accidents when I was young, and took me and my friends up a lot of cool mountains and trails.

I had an 85 Jeep CJ7. No better car to have at 17 IMO.

Topless, door-less, mud tires etc. No better way to spend the summers.

nice build i like it.

Complicated relationship to say the least, I had to have two cars as a first car, since the main one was a 92 Eagle Talon AWD. Learned to completely rebuild an engine, do clutches, turbo upgrades, fabricate exhaust etc. It was very quick at the time. But I really enjoyed driving my 87 Nissan Hardbody in its down time as well.

If I could do it all over, Id have gotten a Miata. Never autocrossed because my talon was too finicky and would more than likely puke its guts out.

My first car was a 2002 Accord, if I can do it over again of get an e30.

My 300zx

I'd go with what I have now.
