not mine but same color
1970 Pontica Catalina 400 engine. Great for burnouts with the snow tires on it.
It was a finely tuned car till my buddy wrapped it around a tree.

74 914 2.0 Special Edition. Dad said I could have any car I wanted.. I just had to pay for EVERYTHING myself. Bank repo from a divorce. Handeled like nothing I had ever been in and ran really strong. I got my license taken away after four months due to too many speeding tickets. Small Georgia town, black Porsche, and bored cops do not mix!!!! Had to let it sit ALL summer but I got my fix by sitting in it at night and listening to the engine and stereo. Kept it three years and learned to autocross pretty well. Great car...wish I still had it.

1974 VW Superbeetle, with factory A/C. I must say it was one of the most fun vehicles I have ever owned, and I've been through trucks, Jeeps, vette's, RX-7's, motorcycles, you name it.

There was a small car show here over the weekend, and there was a Superbeetle convertible that was gorgeous. If that had been available before I bought the Targa......Hmm........:rolleyes:

My first car was a 1972 Volvo 242. Green, 2 door, 4 speed with a wacky speedometer that moved a horizontal ribbon across the center of the dash, Like a thermometer. Strange design.

Nearly everyone's had a VW at one time or another. But how many of you have had a HOT PINK VW? HA! My 15 year old daughter who's starting to drive,is still ragging me about selling it years ago. It was one of her favorite cars I've owned. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/pinkvw.jpg

My first car was an 87 camaro V-6 with a 5speed and an AM radio. It wasnt much but it was mine. I had an escort and a t-bird turbo coupe after. They were junk. I went to chrysler school, and really got into turbo power after having 2 daytona shelby z's. Then I wised up, and went back to Chevy's. I have a very fast 92 typhoon, and a 90 s-10 plow truck. I just sold my 95 camaro z-28 because I am bored with my very fast reliable chevy products. I needed something that needs more attention then a toddler, so I picked up a 76 911, and an 86 944. :rolleyes:

A '68 Mustang 390 Fastback, bought it for $1,200 in 1981, a month before I started my senior year of high school. I paid half and the parents paid the other half. I am sometimes amazed that I survived all of the stuff I did in that car. Its still sitting in the garage.

It seems a lot of people got their start in Vdubs. Mine was this 66 VW bus that I still own today. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1231734059.jpg
