It's a two way road with my parents lol my mom wants me in a big chunk of steel like a 70's cadillac coupe deville and my dad wants me in something that's gonna be more economical I'm fine with either way of that road though
My first car was our family station wagon, 74 Mercury Marquis. But my first car I purchased for $750.00 was a 1972 Chevy Malibu. Of course it didn't look like this when I got it. I put a lot of work and money into it. Wish I never sold it there worth lots of money now. I sold it for $5000. in 1983. Then I purchased my dads 240Z and put a SBC into it.
Got 1st car in 1993. Mine was a 1983 Cutlass Supreme. Dad brought a rolling chassis home on Friday with a Small Block Chevy and T350 trans in the bed of his pickup. Told me if I got it running by Sunday that it was all mine.
