Your First Car

My first hooptie was a '68 Pontiac Catalina w/400 2bbl my parents bought me for $700. Drove it for about a year before I put it in the ditch one snowy night.

I was a Chevy/Buick/Olds guy for about 20 years but always liked my friend's Mopars ('70 Challenger R/T 440+6, '71 Roadrunner 383, '74 Roadrunner 400, '72 Demon 340, '74 Charger 400). Chevies were my thang, but quick Mopars always seemed like they were a step-up from everyone elses car.

Even though I've owned a '71 & '73 Charger, can't say I was really "into" Mopars until I bought my Duster in '05. Might buy one more toy car before I die, as I've got my eye on a BMW 7 E38.
