Post up, Mine is ummmm..... Rather funny, Fast and the Furious was ever reaching! Turbo, Intercooled, I still have it, I have massive amounts of parts for a 300 hp volvo monster, with mustang 5 speed conversion, stand alone fuel management (mega squirt) gauges, seats, the works, just no time/desire to do anything with it. :lol:

I don't have picture of my 1985 Plymouth Horizon. I bought from my parents.

Or my 1995 NEON I bought from them.

They were stock.

BTW. Holy fast and furious Chris!

My first car was a 1982 diesel Rabbit. It was slow but $5 worth of fuel was good for two weeks.

Last Saturday alone I spent $160 in fuel for my F250.

That thing is hot. I like it.

My first vehicle was a '81 Toyota Pickup.

My First Car was a 95 Nissan Maxima, had it for a short time before getting into jeeps...

Chris, that Volvo is sick man..WOW!

It was an alright first car, and believe it or not, I really never had any problems with it so......

My first car,

A 1972 Ford Gran Torino. 351-2v Cleveland, with Edlebrock 4v Carb and Manifold. Hedman Headers with dual cherry bomb exhaust. Not quite as fast as my STi, but I did kill a lot of ricer cars with it.

Next car, 1965 Mustang w/ 289 that I had rebuilt. 3.80:1 gears in the rear. Not very fast on the top end, but I got there pretty f'en fast.

Still have the Gran Torino. My exwife has the Mustang.

I started out with an '84 Ford LTD, that thing was a land yacht. I loved it. It had a life. Used as a detectives car when new, had upgraded engine, big V-8. $400. and 40,000 miles later it died. Had some great times.

1973 Land Rover 88" Series III Station Wagon

It went all over Nevada and the West. Funnest thing was to crank-start it after filling up at a gas station --- people would just stop and stare. I miss having real 4WD, but at like 12mpg it wasn't very efficient. It even served as my transportation for the first couple years of Community College. I've got lots of pics tucked away --- I need to scan some.
It's sitting at my parent's house waiting for a garage so I can take it apart...

That's the 109" Series III. The 88" is the 3-door one. Someday I want to build a 109" though.
