1st Family Car

[Dreh_Nagi_HC_IM]

This '68 Chevy Impala was the first childhood car I can remember us having.

Same color too. Old man would take us all the way to Camden Park about once a year, and would smoke 4 or 5 packs of Camel cigarettes to/from, and drink about a pint of liquor each way.

Those were the good ole days. Seems like it would take about 4 hours to get from Gauley Bridge to Camden Park back then. If we were lucky, we got to stop at the Burger Carte in Smithers on the way back.

Rifle remembers the good ol’ days when he used to take trips along the entire east coast in this bad boy.

2016...those were the days.

1978 Datsun 510 wagon

It was silver, an Altima and not a Maxima (not sure which one that is pictured), and amazing that I was able to somehow keep valid NY license plates even though I hadn't lived in the state in 14 years.

You've allowed Murox the Moron to drag you down in scamming UPS out of $100, and now you're allowing him to do the same on this.

The first company car I drove looked just like this, except it was four door, blue, and a ‘73. Lol.

This looks just like my first ride. Hand-me-down from my grandparents, to my parents, to me.

 

[WV-FAN]

this is the first one i remember.

we had one of these all 5 of us piled into on the reg at one point in time, also.

This era of Blazer is my favorite vehicle ever.

I also want a late 70's Bronco.

Standard transmission early 80s Pontiac sunbird. Huge POS. Broke down on us one time in Clendinin (on way to PA) when I was 5 and sister was 2.

I learned to drive in my family’s beat up Plymouth Valiant. Four on the column. I can’t tell you how many people I hid in the trunk going to Valley Drive In. I always wondered why they never questioned why I’d go to the drive in by myself with a case of beer in the back seat. But once parked I’d open the trunk and my friends poured out like clowns from a circus car.

I'm not a car guy but have always been fond of Bronco's. I drive a mom SUV now (honda pilot) that's super practical, but I'd rather have a 1980's Ford Bronco that somehow also has Apple Carplay.

We got caught doing that at a car race down in Kentucky one time.Got through there and parked in the field. Got out opened up the trunk and here came Bubba the track owner walking down the field. He said nice try and laughed. Pay up or get your ass out.

Friend of my had a 78 and then an early 80's model. Those things were awesome.

THe folks also had one of these. The AMC Hornet

There has to be a company out that will retrofit old cars with modern interiors.

 

[i am herdman]

I miss the old days. Looking back that was a lot of fun and pretty simple.

I'm sure having probably never taken up a permanent residency anywhere, it's easy to maintain your childhood home as your physical address, especially as a single man. And that's an Altima. Don't act like you didn't know that.

Joking aside, the first car I remember having was a grey station wagon, much like the Griswolds. With six of us total, it was needed. Even after my brother and oldest sister left home, dad always had a big ride...Mercury Grand Marquis...Cadillac...any big, boat looking car you can think of.

Now THAT is a fine automobile.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

First car I remember Dad having, a red 65 Barracuda, just like this one:

Mom had a green Nova:

I barely remember these cars.

Then something weird happened, Mom got one of these boats, in white (totally NOT her style to drive a big car, shit she has a subcompact now):

And Dad stayed cool, his Ford truck he painted in some industrial beige color I'm sure he got cheap from one of the paint salesman that came by the railroad shops:

And then this showed up one day, same color, same big ass loud engine:

That marked the end of cool for a while. Mom got a brown fvcking Ford Granada when I was 8, and a year Dad later decided to get cheap on gas and bought a Ford Mustang II four-banger...at least it was a stick.

The Impala Custom Coupe. If one were a sociopath, this car could be ordered with a 427 and a Muncie rock-crusher 4 speed.

Don't know why but I've always wanted one of those mustang II's, one tricked out with modernization and horsepower. Pure wickedness.

I am totally with you there. I think a Cobra II with a 331 stroker would be the tits.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a Ford LTD? I rarely post on here using a desktop, so copy/pasting pics isn't available, but our 1st family car was I believe a 76 Ford LTD, blue with the hideaway headlights. My sister always sat up front, I would lay down like on a couch in the backseat. I can't tell you how many times my old man would hit the brakes so hard I would catapult forward into the big ass front bench seat and then gravity slammed me into the transmission hump in the rear floorboard.

Miss those days.

Cool, a two-fer. You posted a family photo too.

Some idiots simply don't belong on message boards, especially lying retarded idiots.

Yes.

Agreed. If anyone were to ever lie about being drunk on here while posting in order to earn cool points, they don’t belong on a message board.

I’m glad the old board owner - red on the head like a dick on a dog - scared that guy away from posting here.

You're still defending an idiot, simply because he's a teammate of yours? Yags, CR89, dherd, greed, and bucky. Sort of reminds me of the stiffs LeBron had to play with his rookie season in Cleveland.
