1966 Volkswagen bug which I blew up with five friends ditching high school and going to the beach. my poor bug caught fire in the traffic circle in Long Beach fire department came, put the fire out and then they told away my car. we still went to the beach had a great time with my girlfriend, but came home on the RTD bus. I remember that day so well because that's the day I became a man with my girlfriend

My dad's car (whatever it was at the time)
My favorites were a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix and a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88.

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

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.
