Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aries" data-source="post: 3315660" data-attributes="member: 44328">I guess it depends on which one you consider my first car.  This is the first one I had, a 1967 Chevy Caprice except it was a light brown color with about the same color vinyl top.  But I never actually bought it.  My sister bought it used while she was in college, then when she got married she sold it to my older brother.  It broke a crankshaft and my Dad had a rebuilt motor put in it for $400, which my brother was supposed to pay him back.  When my brother joined the Marine Corps, he said if I would pay Dad back the $400 I could have it.  But I never actually got around to paying him back.  Sorry Dad.  He never ever mentioned it.[ATTACH=full]151208[/ATTACH]Then when I dropped out of college in 1978, I traded it for a 1976 "Spirit of America" Chevy Caprice, just like this one.  Was a nice car for a while, but by the time I traded it off it had gotten to where it used about a quart of oil a week, apparently due to a bad piston ring because you'd have to pull one spark plug out every few weeks and clean it to stop it from missing.  Then it would run fine for a while.[ATTACH=full]151210[/ATTACH]So technically, the second one was probably MY first car.  But the first one is what I drove through my last couple of years of high school and three semesters of college.This is my sister with the Caprice while it was still a blue 2-door convertible (not really).[ATTACH=full]151211[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
