My favorites were a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix and a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88.

Mike B · 16 January 2009, 09:43 AM

I drove a 2001 F350 Lariat Super-cab when I was a junior in high school (I graduated in 2003).

Alcan · 16 January 2009, 09:51 AM

I'd just turned 16 when I finished high school in 1966, so my ride looked something like this.

Green Sub · 16 January 2009, 09:55 AM

1970 Mustang Sportsroof. That would have been '75 to '77.

Drumr · 16 January 2009, 09:58 AM

Oh man Jim, you're bringing back memories that don't need to be brought back. '65 Mercury Comet Caliente 289 that lasted 4 hours.

Oops. Did I mention my dad hadn't even had time to get it insured?

Did I mention that was the end of days for me?

Did I mention I hitched a ride my whole senior year?

Off to college with a Corvair Monza which did 360's every chance it got. Most were unplanned.

ijen0311 · 16 January 2009, 12:09 PM

When I was 16 I got a 2000 Honda Accord SE. Loved it!

HoustonRider · 16 January 2009, 12:14 PM

a '73 Corvette Big Block convertible... $7500.... 1982-1984 I think... it was going thru engines most of the time.

also had a '78 Buick Regal.

been outta HS about 24 years... hard to remember all the details... went to school with Lori Johns (top fuel dragster driver in 1988)..

moby33 · 16 January 2009, 12:20 PM

'65 Mustang. I kind of cringe at the looks of it now (it was classy wimbleton white when I bought it, but I painted it this terrible Viper blue that didn't really turn out very good)...but I bought it by myself and did all the work to keep it running...at the time, I didn't think there was another car I would ever want/need.

Even sweeter!

DoxaDavid · 16 January 2009, 12:35 PM

I was 16 in '82. I wanted a TA so bad but couldn't afford it on my own. I found a mint '74 Olds Cutlass cpe with a 350 "Rocket" under the hood. Did the prerequisite Cragar mags, Hooker headers and a nice set of 6x9's for the stereo. Med blue with a white landau top. Drove it all through high school. Had a nice sized back seat!

Looked just like this one but med blue w/white top.

1995 geo tracker drop top.

jwkunkle · 16 January 2009, 01:07 PM

I had a 1983 (this was 1992) Dodge Omni. Used to put $2 in the tank when it was empty just to keep me going for another day.

roamer · 16 January 2009, 01:12 PM

A total POS 1981 Honda Civic Wagon...Green. I am pretty sure my parents didn't want me to get any girls pregnant. Mission accomplished.

Launch Mini · 16 January 2009, 01:43 PM

Bi pics, was pre digital era, but had a 1972 Capri, that we covered in brand new Molson Canadian Beer labels, then coated it so they wouldn't peel.
From a distance it looked like a snake skin, up close, you could see the almost 1,000 perfect labels.
Did I get stopped by the police regularly? YES

Just like it but white on red. Dad was just getting broken in as I had three younger brothers following me down the road to perdition and only the youngest never totalled one. He did regularly take down the mailbox.
