I was 15 and it was a brand new at the time Honda 250 Nighthawk, just like this one:  I still to this day dont know how my dad pulled that one off with my mom and her 15YO son. I drove it to school and work and I paid the notes and insurance. It was sold when I was almost 17 for my first vehicle, an 87' Suzuki Samurai hardtop. Loved that little truck and spent almost every weekend at the West End of Dauphin Island fishing.
On the Eighth day God created flounder.

In 1988 I inherited my Dads old mine truck. 1972 Ford Courier. Floor boards and the bed was rusted out and no matter what you did to fix it you had to pump the brakes to stop. I loved that P.O.S. all I saw in it was my ticket to freedom.

A baby blue 1972 Chevy LUV truck.
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

1988 Chevy S-10 Blazer...red with grey on the bottom...4.3L V6...my mom bought a brand new ford thunderbird about 4 months before I turned 16 and the blazer was her ride before that...they kept it for me and gave it to me with the understanding that it would be washed and kept as clean as my dad kept it, and I kept my grades up...very nice ride for a 16 year old I thought
I once flirted with danger...but then danger got clingy.

1986 Mazda 626 that was handed down from my mom. It was a 4 door. Even though it wasn't a hot rod, girls didn't seem to care to much. I had lots of fun in that car. Kept it for 2yrs and dad bought me a 93 Nissan 4x4 regular cab.

My Dad was a car dealer and had his carlot on hwy 431 north of Anniston, so I had the chance to drive hundreds of different cars over my teenage years. I turned 16 in 1981 and the big trend was to have a Camara, Firebird, or anything 4WD. I wanted something a little different. Hey, my dad was a dealer so it was normal for me to trade a lot of them. The first vehicle I ever bought for myself (to keep) was a 68 Mustang. It had a couple of unusual features like a bench seat. That was cool to me and great for having my sweetheart of the month in the car with me.(no serious girlfriends back then) It also had a pedal in the floorboard next to the dimmer switch that would make the wipers cycle one time. I guess it was the predecessor to intermittent wipers. It had a 289 and the five hole rims. I bought it for $800.00 and then spent about $1500.00 more putting in new carpet, windshield, tires, wheels, paint, air shocks, traction bars, cam, carbeurator, intake, and a few other things. It was really sharp when I got done with it, and not real slow either. LOL
