i'm on the fence between bubs subs, dantes and dago dogs. oh. never mind, michael...wrong thread.

1990 Geo Prizm. It shook when it went over 55 mph

1968 Fiat Spider, carried a toolkit everywhere as the idle speed would have to be adjusted every half hour or so! Farthest i ventured was N. Barr. to downtown Chicago. In order to drive to school in Des Moines, my mom made me get a better car and i upgraded to a 1972 Gremlin!

1979 Pontiac Trans-Am. The black one with the gold fire chicken and T-Tops like Burt Reynolds drove in "Smokey and the Bandit". Fast, fun, crazy times those were! Loved that car but spent a fair amount of time/money keeping it going. Drove it all through college. When I graduated college my folks helped me buy a new car to replace "the ol' beater" so I could go on job interviews and look "presentable". It's not like I was taking the HR person out for a cruise on my interview! My parents had the best of intentions and I thank them every day for it. Still, I miss that car ...

A red '64 Corvair convertible, white top! Top down, listening to Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah on the AM radio,
"Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive, Headin' into town.
Just slippin' on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound."
There was nothing like it! :-) :-) :-)

I bought a 1971 Chevy Impala from a friend of my dad's just before I graduated from college. It lasted a year. Stalled a lot in intersections due to a faulty carburetor. That was fun. Then I bought a Chrysler Horizon.

My first car was a '68 Ford Mustang. It was a V8 automatic with the shift on the floor and bucket seats. It would really get up and go when you pushed it. I am so sorry that I got rid of that car even though it was rusting. Should have fixed it up and kept it. I won't make that same mistake with my '87 Monte Carlo SS. That one is a keeper.

I don't remember the year but it was a mint green Chevy Chevette. I bought it myself for $1,000 when I was 17. It lasted until I went to college. It was like a Fred Flintstone car since it had a rusted hole on the passenger side. You could put your feet into the hole. My dad put a huge piece of metal to cover the hole up. Loved that car.

I almost got a reliable Toyota Tercel but it was sold. So I purchased a 1972 Datsun. First week it needed a major repair. On the other hand, it took two long trips from DC to Colorado with an AM radio and then off to Canada the next year with an FM Converter. I was just in the car for the tunes. Basically a piece of junk.

A 1991 Chevy Beretta, cassette player, no CDs. It was a wonderful car, and I was so sad when the time came to upgrade!

A 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that we all called "The Tank" it was so heavy, but it lasted through 5 owners and was great for the type of car. Oh and i aquired the car 2001 or 2002 and it was driving like brand new, just didnt look brand new.

I, too, had a Chevy Beretta. Red. It was awesome! My parents got it for me as a high school graduation gift. The worst part was when the air conditioning stopped working (and it would have cost too much to fix). That made for some really interesting road trips. But I loved that car!

A 1960 Red and White Rambler Station Wagon. It had a weird Vaccum powered wiper system; and when it went bad, I had to tie a string to the Wiper blade to make it work. LOL, What memories.

Wendy Coleman commented on the Grayslake Facebook page:
‎84 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme, I loved that car.
Thanks, Wendy!

I had a 1995 Jeep Cherokee. I loved that truck.

I bought my first car in the Army when I was stationed at Fort Lee. It was a powder-blue 1972 Plymouth Satellite with a white-vinyl top, a real junker. The guys in my platoon called it "The Music Mother," after a Virginia radio station. It was a muscle car. It had a big eight-cylinder engine. One time the radiator sprang a leak. I replaced it easy. It was held in place with four bolts and a couple hose connections. I couldn't tell you where the radiator is in my Volvo.

I'm ashamed to admit it ... my first car was a 1972 red Ford Pinto station wagon - LOL!

I had my parents hand me down '85 Subaru GL sedan. Holes in the floor board and muffler, but a loud enough stereo to cover it all up.

'71 fastback Mustang, 10 year old when I bought it, with money I earned as a hostess at a restraurant. Loved that car!

1988 Subaru Justy...similar to a Yugo. My classmates at BGHS used to pick it up and move it.

First car was a 1959 Plymouth Savoy 2 door sedan.
It was black and had chrome reverse rims all around.
The engine was a 361 with an Isky 3/4 solid lifter cam, four barrel carburetor, dual points and dual exhaust with glass packs.
A 4:56 posi in the back was held in place with traction masters.
The four speed was courtesy of Jack Sharkey who raced Plymouths and Dodges back then.
Even back then it would pull the front tires a bit and I never lost to a vette.

My Dad had this posted originally in Florida but they reside with us now here in Illinois "'57 Oldsmobile (appeared in St Petersberg Times Jan 26, 2010 with photos) The very first car I owned was a 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 hardtop that I bought right off the showroom floor shortly after I was discharged from the Army when I was 20 years old. At the time, I lived at home with my parents in a residential area near downtown Buffalo, N.Y. Needless to say it was an eyestopper with the ladies. When I had only 80 miles on the car, I met my present wife of 49 years now, on a blind date. She is still with me and the car gave us many happy memories, and I am sorry but the car is not."

first car 1965 Cadillac fleetwood. I was with my grandmother when she bought it new. I bought it from my father in 1971 while in college., I still have it today and it will be a feature car at the Lake Forest Antique Auto show July 22 in in Lake Forest at Deerpath school grounds. It has been used for many wedding over the years. It is all white with Black interior. In college I was asked to drive all the visiting guests, speakers, etc and got to meet a number very interesting people and a dinner out on the college with them. The car is bigger than my suburban and time less in style.

A 1967 Mustang convertible. Paid $1,100 for it in 1969. Quirky little thing, the front driver's seat was held in place with a brick. Thankfully I was the same height as the previous owner so there was no issue with trying to move the seat! And then in rainy weather, if you took your foot off the gas it would stall out. I learned how to drive with two feet and to shift into neutral when approaching a red light or stop sign. And, yes, it was an automatic! I would kill to have that car back again.

A 1972 silver Chevy Vega! I paid $2100 cash for it - used - and loved it because it was all mine!
