I Called her betzy and she was my first true ride.
I got here when i was 10 and had her till i turned 17, she went from light blue to black primer, rust, and bondo over a 7 year period and she still managed to rip mustangs a new one. I will always miss her, even tho i have my thunderbird nothing will fill the empty hole that she left.
She was a 1964 4 dr. Chevy Biscayne with a 250 bored to the max and a 3 on the tree. First gear she got to 20, Second gear she got to 50, Third gear she got to 110 and while doing this the car behind her was left in the dust going WHAT???
Boy i will always miss that.

Here's the new owner taking away what was left of it.
Did you know that if you're on a snowy hill, and a green 1971 Ford Torino slides pointy-nose-first into your left front wheel, it tends to snap off the spindle?

1980 Chevy Malibu Classic, I paid $500 for it..

It was a bronzeish/gold color with black primer and had about 3 million miles on it. LOL I had to dump oil into it at least once a week..... thank God my (now former father- in -law) made sure I knew how to check the oil in it, since my brothers never taught me.
I drove it when I started dating my ex husband and the day we got married, the engine blew on it.... that's when I learned about rods and valves.
We replaced the engine and drove it for a few more months, my ex had an accident and the back end was smashed in, so we hooked a chain around a tree and he drove it away to pull it out some. LOL
Drove it for a little while after that but he soon killed that engine too.
I remember piling all of our friends into that thing and going out..... we all had to pool our change to buy gas for it, but we had a blast in that car.

It looked basically like this, but the all over color was the darker color of this one's hood and roof.

my first truck was a 74 datsun pickup. i was 11 and my dad worked at a car dealer, some guy traded it in for a newer car and the lot gave him 750 for it, my dad got it for 0. we had a 1500ft dirt driveway, and 15 acres. it lasted for about 2 years and it was basically my go-kart. used it to take the trash to the street too but it was a gokart more than anything. it was ugly, water damage, nothing in the dash worked and the seat wasnt usable on the passenger side but it had a hurst shifter :D it was a 5 speed.

the day i got it running (stuck alt, so even an eleven year old can smack it with a bfhammer :hick: ) my dad was cutting the yard and almost shat himself when i did dounuts around him while he was moving haha!

but... one april evening the bald tires which used to slide real well on the gravel driveway, the left rear blew out and bucked to the left kicking the bead off the right front.. at 55-65mph which dumped the truck over.. it didnt have a windshield and i was 12 so a) i was invincable and b) i wasnt wearing a seatbelt so i went right out the windshield on the first roll. as i sat up all confused the truck tore a path prolly 200 feet if not more into the woods. it was just a mangled mess. we tried wenching it out a couple times but it was firmly stuck in the trees. its still there i imagine to this day.

the first car i drove on the street was a 99 hyundai elantra gls. it was totaled when i lived in nc b/c i got scammed in traffic. that ol trick where you jump infront of some one and completely stop for no reason. the police knew it was a messed up situation so they sent me to the hospital with the bones in my arm bruised by the airbag and then towed the car away. didnt ever find out what happend to the other driver.

first car that was "mine" was the bird. first truck i bought myself was an 86 f150 and then when i was rearended i bought the MX-5.

Mine was a '91 Subaru Justy 5-dr hatch. It had the new and improved fuel injected 3-cyl with an ECVT and full time 4WD (50:50 front:rear) which was turned on by a 4WD button on the side of the gear selector (it was the same with manual cars). With new directional Toyo winter tires, I had never gotten that little white marshmallow of a car stuck in anything. In the winter I terrorised parking lots (including a nearby church) and in the summer I drove it like an Odyssey (not the van) on logging roads. Slick mud was the only way to get those 4 tires spinning enough to get sideways, so it was like my own little rally car. I loved it and treated it like a Mule.

I bought it from my parents for $700 and spent $800 getting the motor rebuilt for my first year of college. It never let me down, until one day I left for church and the brakes were making a lot of noise. They usually did, though, since the rotors were so warped it was audible from inside and outside. When I got home from church that afternoon I tried to park it on the part of the road leading to the barn, but my brakes weren't there. I just pumped four or five times until finally it locked up solid and ground to a halt. Later that day I found one of my driver's side brake pads on the ground, metal melted to the point where it was curling around the edge in a jagged lip. Never maintained but somehow it wasn't the ECVT that killed it, even after running the tranny dry once.

I later moved to Edmonton to work, and my parents sold the car for me to a neighbour, who had a 3-dr 5-spd as well, for $800. He was planning to cut the roof off behind the front seats to make a rig for hauling wood into his basp00get (he could actually drive it into his basp00get full of firewood), but I don't know if he ever did. I do know that his main reason for buying it was for the windshield, which had a valid inspection sticker, so he could swap it onto his wife's DD.

This isn't mine, but it looked pretty much just like it but in white. It was both terrible and awesome all at the same time.

1969 Plymouth Sport Fury

Got it for a whopping $175 in 1978. I could replace the transmission in this car in less than an hour - ask me why

I can say it had a nice large back seat

79 Mustang, when we got it, it was a 302 C4 8.8" car. Shortly after it became a 351 car I had alot of fun racing punk kids in Hondas. I have loved Fox body vehicles ever since and decided I would only drive Ford products. Its worked so far.

Oldraven: I've always liked those Justys. Wouldn't want one as a daily driver, but it would make one helluva woods beater. My mother's old (new at the time) Nissan Micra would go places no sane person would ever drive a car unless it was his mother's (I used to drive it UNDER logging road gates). I can't imagine adding 4WD to the mix...
