Do you still remember your first car?

My first was a 1978 Ford Thunderbird (for those who know me on bnet know one of my accounts reflects this). It was a beast to drive, I found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2415833823 that kind of shows what it was like to drive. The hood ornament was not decoration it was a target you used to aim! (Though it got stolen. Twice!) It doesn't reflect the length of the hood though which a full grown person could easily lie down on. A friend of mine commented once that my hood had its own horizon. :D Mine was white on top and green on the bottom with green interrior. It was weird even for its breed, it had things like manual windows when I think power was the standard. Half the reason I miss that car was it was so obnoxious, 18.5 feet long and so ugly. It was great to drive on the freeway though, it was like sitting in your living room couch. Once I was trying to go 80 and by not paying attention to my speedometer ended up doing over 100 just due to it being such a smoothe ride. :) If one day I win the lottery I would be tempted to buy another one in better shape, just because of the reactions this one got. :D

Now I drive a '96 escort. Being easier to drive is the only improvment. It's still ugly but worse, boaring to look at *sigh*. <_<
