What was your first car?

I bought my first car when I was 13 from my aunt for 25 bucks. It was a 1961 Renault Dauphine that she drove to college and hated every minute of it. When I got it, it had no reverse, no bumpers, and no side view mirrors. Even so, that little car ran darn good and would go anywhere. That thing was built like a tank for a car of its size. Me and my friends would take it about 40 mph and flip it over for fun in the pasture behind my house just for fun. It never got hurt doin it. You could open and shut the doors to pop the dents out of the roof. Back in those days you could run all over the roads up here in the western NC mountians with out ever getting pulled over and even though I was 13, I drove that car all over the place. I was going to drive it to high school but by the time I was 16 it began to jump time real bad. No matter how many times you set it the darn thing would start skipping within a mile or so. It turns out that the drive gear on the bottom of the distributor had wore out to the point that it would skip a tooth as the car ran. I tried to locate the parts to fix it but by that time the Renault/AMC dealers quit getting the parts and the cars were obsolete in the junk yards. Alas, it sat and I went out and bought a 1961 Cadillac Coupe Deville for 325 bucks. After two years of sitting in the same pasture that I used to roll it in, my mom sold it to some guy for guess what ????? 25 bucks !!:cheers:
