What car did you drive in High School

so not to hi-Jack a different thread and kind of an interesting question.

I inherited my Grandpa's Mercury Monarch (1978?).
It was abused (sorry Grandpa Joe) and later my sister took out a church's mailbox with it in a snow storm.

Two other guys had Ford Granada's (basically the same as a Monarch) and we would posse around!

 

I had a '74 Chevy Caprice. It was an absolute boat, didn't look cool, and guzzler of gas. However, I could dig enough chance to keep gas in it at the prices back then.

 

84 Chrysler LeBaron convertible, leather and a full digital dashboard with a little electronic voice that talked to me and warned me of ajar doors and other problems. If only I had listened all those times it kept telling me my oil pressure was low...

 

My ride alternated between various mid- 80's Models of Nike, and an early 80's Blue Bird.
I did get to drive a 1981 Chevette a few days of my senior year.

 

87 Ford tempo. I can't believe the amount of abuse that car took

 

Graduated in 1976. Drove my grandfathers 1952 Chevy Deluxe fastback. In high school my peers laughed. When I took it to college, everyone was jealous of it. Funny how context is everything!

 

I also relied on a pair of Chucks or KMart special mountain bike for transportation during my high school years. First car was an '88 Pontiac 6000. That car took everything I threw at it, well, except a Volkswagen, and even then it was only a TKO.

 

1977 Mercury Cougar XR-7

 

My mom's vw Rabbit (fuel-injected).

In college, my first car was a '72 super beetle, then a '78 Honda Accord fastback.

First car I ever bought myself, was a '76 Gran Torino (351w-2v)

 

When I graduated college, I bought a brand new '80 Honda Accord LX 2 door hatchback. Great car. Wish I had bought 5 of them and stored them away.

Then in 1985, bought a new '83 XJ550, my first and only motorcyle. Still have it!

 

Yeah.... Small car, but the longer back made it look sweet-- and a lot better than the civic ( sister had one of those....). The accord won every time--- loved that stick shift, too ..... Couldn't stall it. Most fun car I ever had. Most comfortable, ever, was my '92 Crown Victoria.....but am quickly falling in love with my current '95 t'bird

 

Bought and learned how to drive a stick with a buddy in a ford pinto then mom made me get my $ back (it had tickets).
Bought a datsun b210 that started and smoked like hell cause the head was cracked. Yep, mom and $ back. So I bought a 26" ten speed and a walkman. First car I bought and kept was a '79 Toyota Celica in the mid 80's.

Ford Winstar, It to was abused. But there real question is how many people could you pack into your ride?

 

1974 Nova, bought it myself. I put on aluminum mags and wide tires. Rebuilt a 350 for it and it would run pretty good.

 

I always loved the Nova. It's one of my favorite cars.

 

1964 Olds Starfire. Wish I would've hung into it. Fun first car but didn't know what I had.

 

1981 Chevy cavalier drove it to the ground and sold it to be demo derbied, 1998 Ford crown Vic brother blew up motor, 1995 olds 88 snaped frame in 3 places after filling up with gas then rode the bus my senior year bought a 1998 Dodge grand caravan and drove it to the scrap yard

 

I didn't have it in high school but my first car was a 92 VW Cabriolet convertible. I loved that little car!

 

Never had a car but my first truck was right out of high school and it was a 1983 Toyota 4x4. Loved that truck and should've never sold it.

 

My first car in high school was a 66 Mustang coupe with a strait 6. Drove that sophomore year and half of my jr year. We moved from Texas to Utah my dad sold it before moving. Then I bought a Subaru Brat. It went about anywhere i asked it to.
