Re: What was your 1st car?
1976 Datsun B210 - Cost me 100 bucks! There was more rust than steel! My dad and I put one hell of a lot of bondo on that car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] It would backfire ever time I wound her out a bit and then shifted.
Every once in a while the seat would give way and the seat back would drop backwards.... that was interesting.
The night I bought it my buddy, who knew how to drive stick, took us for a crazy ride through a wooded lot near my house. Nearly wet myself from laughing so hard!! How we didnt slam into a tree is still a mystery. There were also some backfire flames seen from the muffler as we came up the NJ Turnpike.
I decided to drive it to school after a stick driving lesson from my dad..... I got stuck during rush hour in the middle of an intersection! I kept stalling.
The antifreeze was turning a bit frothly and brown. Got to replace a head gasket for the first time! A great experience.
This was also the car that I taught a buddy of mine to drive stick in a snowy parking lot... damn that car would do great donuts in the snow!
Sold the car a few years later when I bought my 1970 Camaro SS... sold it for $100 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
