FIRST CAR

Don't twist the point I was trying to make.
I've been successful as an adult because of the freedoms my parents provided me as a teen.
My best friend had a lifestyle opposite of mine.
I bought my first car and did all the work to it, eventually reaping the benefits after another friend named Nathan wrecked it. All the work I put into it after paying $950 for the car, reaped me over 4k in collection after my buddy decided he didn't want to handle the car with care as it was very powerful. It was my own foolish nature that the car was even destroyed, but the hard work didn't go unnoticed. That's in dire contrast to Chris' life as his parents bought his car and never let him customize it or do with it what he wanted, though he was capable of taking care of it and upgrading just as anyone else could.

Sup man? Just saw this thread and I don't know if you decided yet, but here's a cool site for finding used cars..

Props for being a good dad, and having the honest desire not to raise a knucklehead. I agree with everything you have said in this post.
My first car was like an 86 Mercury Lynx station wagon we called the hot lynx. I lost my virginity in that car. It had a pull out back seat you could take out and sit on the ground, when you turned on the heater and leaves would blow in your face, the tape player worked one of of 19 times you'd try, random french fries would come out from under the seat, even after vacuuming hella times. I bought it for a dollar.

I drive and will only drive American for the rest of my life so let me start with that, I have 7 dream cars I want and normally I dont like to tell people them because most people have such a terrible sense of automotive style that they dream in LeMans Sports and then steal my ideas but since I appreciate you sticking up for America I will break you off two since what I want to do them mechanically and style wise is as important as the make and model
72 Buick Skylark Coupe
67 Ford Galaxie

Clown. You assume since my dream car is a LeMans Sport that it was because I have bad taste? Nah, let me immerse you in some real talk. I bought that car with money I made and saved at 16, a feat almost impossible for any kid who's nose isn't firmly planted in his chemistry books. It had a 455, would run 150mph and could pull the tires of the ground from launch at well over a ton. Memories are what make something valuable to me, not what the car enthusiast hobby deems the most sought after.
You think I wouldn't drop hot coin on a 72 Skylark Gran Sport with a 455? Your dream of a simple coupe would have granted you a 350 with a turd of a Rochester 2 barrel carb and a measly 145 horsepower.
The one and only way to celebrate wanting a '67 Galaxie is to dream of the XL packing a Thunderbird 428 with a 4 barrel, right? Right. Way to dream big too, pimpin. I've got more knowledge about classic cars than any one man should.
