Flash back to high school ( circa. 1976 )

[ANDY M]

My first car was a '72 Vega GT.

By 1976, there was moss on the floor pan in the back seat.
Granted, Michigan is a rust-friendly state, but the windshield moulding rusted from the inside out in less than 2 years. Made for a fun time when driving in the rain.
In defense of the car, with the wide oval 'stones that were standard, it held the road really well.
'73 had the "GT" call-outs, '72 didn't.

Sadly my first car (15/16 years old) was a Ford Pinto....in my defense it had a really strong 289 , and 4.57 gears. Still....I wish my first woulda been a badass chevy.

Hank,

If your first car was a Pinto, I don't think you're allowed on this site

What was your first car ? ...likely my Pinto was faster.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and hope I don't get booted off the site by showing a picture of my first car.
I know Kasey will stick up for me.
Don't forget I was heavily influenced by the Minicar division at Motion. And getting air under the front tires of this only required about 80hp. This is a test run with fresh metal flake black with pearl blue flip flop paint. Note masking tape not completely removed.

I like the VW's too, I have had a few over the years and would like to have an Empi GTV bug someday or a Motion Mini car. I was sleeping on Ebay this weekend and lost a Thunder bug decal.....
