My first car was a 1974 Chevy Monte Carlo. Blue rust bucket with a white Landau top and hard-wired electric everything. Had a moon roof that was as wide as my 914's top. Anyway, loved the V8 power. Was too young and knew nothing about cars at the time though (heck, didn't even own a toolbox at the time). I don't think I ever even changed the oil in it either. Had it about 9 months when all of a sudden one day it would no longer go forward - only reverse worked. With the help of a friend, I drove it back to the barracks at night - in reverse. The next day I gave it to a friend as a wedding gift. He put a junk yard trans in it and then sold it for more than I had originally paid for it.
