* me and the punkin’ …
What was your first car? Did you drive a not so cool kid car like me back in the day? We’re you kickin’ it in a pick up truck? Maybe mom’s wagon with the wood panel sides? or your great uncles car that was the approximate size the USS Yorktown?
My first car …
mmhhmm … an organge Ford Pinto. How jealous are you? We affectionatley called it the punkin. Oh the fun we had in the punkin! It even had a sunroof and an 8 track tape player(which my children once mistook for a vcr in the dashboard of an old truck). It was a pretty pimped out ride … or not!
Your turn … do tell, what was your first car?

peggy was her name.
By the way Melinda did you ever own a car that wasn’t pocket size.
’72 Ford Fairmont, Pale Yellow in Color, with Mustard color interior 4 door, we called her Banana Boat, I did upgrade in the 11th grade to a 1986 Mercury Cougar Silver with a very bright Burgandy Interior.
Candy apple red vw bug super beetle with chrome trim, not sure what year I was only 16 couldn’t care less just wanted a way to get out & go. I wish I still had that car.
i’ve had fun reading all of your “first car” experiences! i think we all had the same philosophy … if it goes, we aint’ above driving it!
Ok, not to be left out, I got mine in 1976 and it was a Fire Engine Red 1965….(don’t laugh) Chevy Impala 4 door with a rust hole in the side (due to all the salt and slag the north puts out in the winter) I called her the Red Bomb. No heat, No air, but ran until 1981 when the underneath literally fell off the frame and was dragging on the ground. God must have been looking out for me as I had just gotten off I-40 in Knoxville. I had just come back from a visit with my now ex and had been going at least 70. When I went up the hill to the apt, I felt something hit the ground and the car would not go anywhere. Rust had gotten the best of that car. I used her as a jeep though and had a blast all through college.
Guess what it was a Ford Pinto 1972 and it was orange and white but no sunroof! Loved that car! It had some speed to it! Good ole car and I miss those things!
