  • New Car thread... Please read in order to bolster posting in

    Yeah, this place needs some action. Its my favorite part of TT as im a car guy before im a PC nerd.

    What was your first car...

    ME?
    1985 Toyota Cressida Station Wagon...

    Sun spots... cigarette burns... a piece of wood fashioned to the top of the center console in order to comfort tall people with an arm rest... those were the days... no radio... and 2am trips to pasadena with my three best friends to go get boba... singing beach boys and TV themes... with my supra engine pulling 120mph tops speed w/ two burnt valves... memories...

        No pics but my first car was a real ugly 1965 Chrysler Windsor with a 383 c.i.d. and a four barrel carb .... Good thing I worked at a gas station at the time.

        Second car was a 1962 Mercury Monterey that I sold to my brother a few years ago so that he could restore it. (Looks like that project got put on hold ... might have to buy it back some day.)

            LOL. Sorry :eek: You did good!

            The styling (or lack thereof) on the Chrysler is pretty close to the 65 model ... mine was a gold/brown color (can't remember the name for the color but it wasn't real pretty).

            The Mercury is real close except mine was/is a four door and bright red in color.

                              My first car was an 85 Mitsubishi Cordia GSL. 1.8L carby piece of **** coupled with an ever ****tier automatic gearbox. Thankfully, It got taken out by a little old lady with lots of insurance. Today I got me a Cordia GSR. 1.8L engine, coupled with a 5speed gearbox and a mighty TC06 Turbo.

                              She goes hard. Stocko 13s on her atm, so she spins at the drop of a hat. Putting the 14s on her tomorrow. Running 10pound boost. Been pretty wet here for the past few days, and with the stock 13s, I havnt had a chance to wind her out. Yet.

                              Converting her to unleaded asap. leaded/premo is way too expensive atm. (that, and we only get Lead Replacement fuel, f@#kall octane value and is just.....wrong)
