I don't have a picture(thank God!) It was a 1981 VW pickup truck. It make things worse; it was a diesel. Believe it or not hit handled pretty good; for a truck.

Not a Brat, but my first NEW car was a Subaru Justy 4X4. Flat 4-cylinder, 1600cc, 1800 lbs with a 4-speed and the ability to shift into 4-wheel-drive while moving up to 50 mph.

I loved that car. We used to go snow skiing with a ski rope down the streets of Lubbock, Texas. It had a higher power to weight ratio than a Jeep CJ. The guys in Colorado hated me when I passed them on the trail.

Regards

Mine was a white 1985 Toyota Celica GT. It was an automatic and a hatchback. Pretty gutless car.

LE ...there isn't a smilie sad enough...

"LE" of course means "crappy no-option edition." It had plastic rims, no tachometer, and no trip odometer. I loved it when I was 16, but that's about it. The Kidney Foundation hopefully got a few bucks for the sheet metal.

The first, the very first was a beautiful white 50 Chevy 231 ci six cylinder 3 on the column. And in the back seat was the first, the first that was a beautiful white, oops better stop this memory right here.

Unfortunately the 50 cratered pretty quickly and I replaced it with a 48 Grey , not Silverstone, Plymouth which for most of my life I thought was pretty unremarkable until I realized it was the first car I ever owned that had the engine start button on the dash. Yes it did, right dead center, about where you would put a radio today. Sorry Honda, you just ripped off an idea from the past. My girlfriend painted a big 426 on both sides of the car my senior year, but it didn't do shit for the flat head 6 in the thing. The only decent thing about being under the hood of this POS was all the room to work on it. Unfortunately, all that room led to the demise of three cats that chose to sleep under the hood on cold nights and then got caught up in the belt when I cranked it up in the morning. Have you ever smelled fresh ground cat flesh on an exhaust manifold. God, I feel like hurling with this memory.

Let's see now, I think the S2K is about number 17 that I have owned, I'll tell you about some of the others later.
