Hot Wheels (Describe The First Car You Owned)

[Cevin]

hey thats great..255hp. with no torque where you going tho? i know jap cars are very low on torque. My Buddy here, a very rich kid, he has a Supra he said he run against your SE. 1081hp 637 ft/lb torque. thats when hes not racing it. 🙂 My other friend who isnt as rich, hes got a Camaro that hes lookin to race ppl with. Its got a 383 stroker in it. pushing 400 rwhp. 486ft/lb torque..he loves eating up ricers. 😛

Unfortunately for you my car has plenty of torque. And that 255 is stock. I don't rice out my vehicles.

actually, its my fault, i was thinking of a different car. They arent riced out either..we actually hate riced out vehicles. They just have performance hook ups like no other. The Camaro had a 5.7l in it before we blew it out. the Supra came turbo'ed like a JJz67 whatever the hell the name of the engine is(lexus). i know more domestic than import. my bad brah! my fave imports are the Nissans. I was thinkin you had Honda for some reason. Nissans seem to be well equipped with torque as Hondas can be as low as 88. pathetic.

First car was a 1950 Ford, into which I dropped a bored-out Chevy 283 V8, retaining the stock tranny and rear end.
Had lots of fun replacing cluster gears and rear axles. Weekly.

Re: Americans!!!!!!!!...........

....you dont even know you are born!!!! when it comes to getting your first jam jar. My first motor was a Reliant Robin, the fibre glass three wheeler or "plastic pig" as we call them over here. Not a bad motor actually, nought to thirty five nothing could touch me! the power to weight ratio was awesome (a bit like Colin Montgomeries putting)

Mine was the rather exotic 850cc model, my bass player had the rather more conservative 650cc version, but he still managed to get a full sized double bass in it, although the scroll had to stick out of the front passenger window with a plastic bag over it!

We travelled all over the place in these two cars we called it "gigs in pigs".

Just don't try a "U-turn" or park on a hill with one! 🙄 😛

At 24 years old, I still have my first car! Well....actually I haven´t payed for it, but guess it´ll go well in this thread.

The car is a Nissan Micra, 1.3cm3 in european measures, 75 hp

For those who don´t have a clue, it´s a small car, ideal for city trafic, it has a nice and very thrystworty engine wich can give you some speed and agility for the size of the car. I got it from my mother and we have that car since 1992 in our hands, now near 13 years old and since 1998 with me.

What can I say.....I made more than 200km (some 150 miles) today with this car, sometimes reaching a speed of 160km/h....yeahhh don´t tell the cops 😉 lolol

Only thing this car took new was breaks, tires and the regular oil and water....what can I say? Go japanese cars!!!! they now how to make them small and strong!

A 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix.I used to compare her to the Millenium Falcon,'she may not look like much,but she's got it where it counts'.And when you turned the headlites on,the interior displays lit up in red LCD style like a cockpit.

*sigh*memories.

I mourned for quite some time when she was taken from me by that blasted tree I drove into.

Late bloomer

I didn't learn how to drive and get My license til I graduated college! 🙁 My first car was a brand new black 1994 Ford XL pick up truck. I was living in the Midwest at the time and it was just such a rush to drive above everybody else in the road! I have adored pick-up trucks ever since.

Back in 2001 some cu*&% drove out of a parking lot, just stood there in the middle of the road, I didn't have enough time to brake, so instead of hitting her head-on on her side, I jumped on the sidewalk and flipped over twice. I'm lucky to be alive. I'd just paid the truck in full 6 mos. prior. The chick not only fled the scene, but came up with a whole load of bogus witnesses who said I was in the wrong. I got money from My insurance, but thought it so unfair that she got away clean, as I'd lost My cherished truck. I hope the sight of Me flipping over just feet away from her haunts her at night for the rest of her miserable life.

My first car was a small 77 mustang which is pretty funny since i am so big i practically had to sit in the back seat...but like you Diva I am a truck guy for the past 10 yrs

My first car was a Midnight Canyon Red 1986 Ford Tempo. It looked more Orange but I liked it. 5 speed no air but I tricked it out. I had Red everything. Red hubcaps, wipers, antenna, with tinted windows. I bought it used and doubled the miles. I had to get rid of it because it started having too many problems. But that was the deal with Tempos they were junk.
