My Dad had a 65 Bonnieville with snow tires on year-round. They were soooo
easy to smoke. Man, this is good stuff !

My Corvair was actually kinda fun. My first car, $500.
That thing burned and leaked oil. Had to clean the plugs about
every two weeks. 3 speed manual and white vinyl bench seats.
Unsafe at any speed. "Yeah, baby"! Livin' life on the edge!

I'll continue the threadjack.

My first car, 1965 Plymouth Belvedere. 4 door, slant 6 TANK. Did great doughnuts.

Here's what my first car looked like:

And NO, I'm not that old. My mother had always wanted to have a Model A Ford Coupe because that's what she learned to drive on when she was a kid, so she bought it and let me take it to school. Pretty cool.

I even took it to the local drag strip and won a couple of trophies (I was the only one in my classification).

my Dad had a corvair.

What possessed him to trade it in for a Vega, I'll never know. Rolls Eyes

even as a kid I used to tell him that, lol.

At least he redeemed himself with an RX-7 when the Vega finally decided to give up the ghost.
