Why thank you, kind sir.

(I get called "sir" once in a while too but, darn it, I wish it wasn't always in a sentence that included thereafter "you are making a scene")%)

First car was a 40 Packard 110 4 door sedan that my dad gave me. It had a really torquey six in it.

The first one I bought & my first DD was a 64 Falcon Sprint Convertible. 11:1 260 & a T10 4 speed. Chrome yellow with a black top. I found it in a garage under a pile of boxes & it was love at first sight. I think I paid $100 a month for 6 months to buy it. It was fast & fun. I bought it in 1975.

These are Futuras, whereas mine was a Sprint, but they're similar.

78 f-150. Shortbed 4x4.
In 97 I'm guessing?
Parents old tow vehicle for their racing endeavors.
About 7 mpg.
Roughly one full turn of slop before any steering input.
No better way to get around in your first ride!

Still in use on my parents farm.

My first car was 68' Fiat 850 spider, It was smog exempt because it was under 50 C.I.";D
I sold it very quickly and used all the profit to buy a Datsun 510. Now that I think of it, that Fiat was the only car I ever made money on.:(
