What was your first vehicle?

My first (in 1974) was a '69 Chevy Chevelle Malibu. A 2 door with the vinyl hard top. $340.
The automatic shifter knob was missing, so I customized it with a wooden one. And added an 8-track player!

First new car was '80 Toyota Celica lift back. 5 speed manual. I had mostly driven manual trucks and older cars, that were clunky shifters. Two minutes on a test drive with the Celica and it was so sweet. $7500.

Funny thing I’ve still never had a car or truck in my name only a scooter from 1985 so the slate will be the first automobile I have bought and registered in my name

I had a white 1994 Chevy Cavalier RS two door that me and the brother jointly owned, that we bought in 1997.

1973 Jeep CJ5, used. First new was a 1987 Nissan Hardbody, Blank like the Slate.

84 Mazda, exactly like the one in the brochure, was my first brand new vehicle

I owned this exact truck also. Wasn't my first but was much beloved. Thinking of going with 17" white spoked wheels and raised white letter tires on my slate.

I love white wheels on pickups, I am thinking if I get the base Slate I'll probably paint the steelies white once it's paid off. Regen braking means a lot less brake dust!

The Slate wheels look rather solid maybe completely solid. Great for keeping dust off the outside.

Mine was a NB1 Mazda Miata that was poorly taken care of and had developed a coolant leak before I sold it.

Wonder if they could be wrapped?

‘86 XJ Cherokee with the 2.8 V6 and 3 speed slushbox. Least desirable drivetrain of all the XJs, but I loved that thing.

 

[Swinefuzz]

It was a Ford Pinto. Red. Leaked steering fluid, but otherwise good for a cheap starter car.
