My dad bought me a car when I graduated HS in 1965, I asked for a triumph....I guess I was the only one who DIDN'T know they made a pos called the Herald...didn't even have the sport 6 engine...I blew it up quick and the lot traded me for a 58 vw van....much better.

1971 Buick Skylark in baby-sheeat green. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
Nickname: The Booger
Broke down for the winter on the first snowfall. (no joke)
Did not off-road very well. Front end to heavy. Probably due to the 350 engine.
Could fit 13 passengers uncomfortably and still max the speedo at 110 mph. (Don't ask me how I know this. )

1970 Pontiac GTO - bought in 1989 for $1500. Still own it, wouldn't sell it for the world. I love that car. Love my 914 too. They're different, but somehow very similiar. Just fun to drive.

My first car was a 66 baja bug. I did alot of wrenching on it, but by the time I got my license I had upgraded to a 67 Mustang (coupe, I have since upgraded again to a fastback). Looks like Mueller and I have more in common than just too many projects. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

First car I drove: 1967 Maserati Quattroporte. Rebuilt the Webers on that beast too... The nice thing was if you forgot where a part went, you had 3 other carbs to refer to! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mine was a 1963 Dodge one ton pickup with 8 lug wheels. The only custom wheel was the old Jackman rims in white. It had a 318 wit the 3 on the tree and with the camper shell, I could take half the school with me. Those were the days.

I really wanted a 914 but I was into motocross back in the mid 70s, so my 1st was
a 73 Ford Courier small truck. I beat the hell out it and it just kept going. Then in
10/77 I got my pride and joy a 75 914. I had it for a month and I let my girlfriend
use it while I was at work and she decieded to get drunk and go for a joy ride and rear ended someone. Insurance wouldn't cover it because I wasn't driving. Fixed
it myself and still have it today.

1971 Mercedes 250 4-door. I had to start it with a screw driver. I could only have it after I did a valve job first. Did everything in the garage except the machine work. That car had 315,000 miles on it before it got rear ended.

Side note, first engine rebuild... 1968 bug when I was 13. I have been hooked ever since.
