Cars, First cars?

My first car was a 98 Olds with a 454 gas sucking machine. Paid $75 for the car because it had no reverse. The car was so big I could get 8 people in the car and not be cramped. Drove it for a year then the entire trans went. Sold it for $350 so I did pretty good.

Nice , what year,looks to be around 74/75?My Dad had a 69 olds 98 convertable with a 454 it was sweet!

First car I bought by myself was a 1991 VW Jetta, 5-speed. Did a lot of custom work to it including professional paint job, tint, stereo system (3 subs, like 11 speakers total), wheels, custom headlights, nice-sounding exhaust (no bees in a can), lowered...was really nice...and got hit head-on after just a year and a half of owning it. :(

First car I DROVE was an '85 Chevy Celebrity, top speed of about 40 it felt like. That was my dad's old car, wasn't really mine.

I needed a daily driver(typical Southern California commuter) for college so I got an early 90s Toyota Pickup.
Dad drove it home then I just jumped in and took off.

The majority of my cars have had Manual Transmissions.
My current car has 9 soulless speeds which has it's moments but my left foot is restless.

My last car was a Mazda 6 5spd Manual that racked up 300k Miles in about 7 years. Only replaced the clutch once at around 220K. That was a great car for me.

Same 1st car and how I learned to drive stick. Haven't done it in so long it would be a rough ride right now if you were my passenger.
