First car was a 1971 Datsun Pickup. Had a lot of good times with that truck. We used to go off roading a lot. My buddy had a ****** CJ3B. When my truck got stuck, no problem. 3 of us could lift the rear by the back bumper. We would pick it up, turn 15 to 90 degrees, drop it and then continue on.

I learned a lot with that truck, both mechanical and driving. Sold it to my recruiter when I joined the Marines in 1977.

62 Chevy Corvair. My dad gave it to me after I ripped the transmission up.
First time I ever remember working on a car.

My first car was a 1977 Chevy Vega that I worked 2 years to buy. Why, I'll never know. At least that pile taught me how to thumb a ride, properly attach a tow strap, and work on cars... and it only had 30K miles on it.
