my 1st ride was the car my great aunt gave me after her boyfriend passed away and left it to her. this mint condition battleship gray 1966 plymouth fury with a 383 commando power plant with a FOUR barrell was money. the cost of gas in 1982 was cheap by todays standards but with minimum wage income and beer expenses made it necessary to keep a coffee can on board for donations for fuel. the thing would light the tires until they sparked due to the steel belts. used to put "new" tires on it every couple of weeks from donated cars from my highschool autoshop class. got a dusk/evening photo of the tires lit up and sparks showing through the smoke. it was a great 1st car, very safe and a BIG backseat for entertaining the girls...
