I don't have a pic of mine, but it was a 69 Sport Satellite. I bought it a few months after I turned 16, wrecked it a few months later, and traded it to a guy along with some cash for my Challenger a couple of months before I turned 17.

Yeah the 80's were pretty neat!! Exiting times. Lots of great movies, and music. The cars were ugly and boxy! All the paint jobs were crud!

Mine was a slight step up from pea green, but it was a 4 door car. Here is where it died. It was the only car parked on the side of the road, and a drunk driver hit it going the other way. The radiator was toast along with who knows what. The insurance money wasn't near enough to fix a 7 year old car. I didn't have any money since I was going to school and only working part time. It had 98,300 miles on it at the time of death. I wanted to turn that odometer SO bad.   :pullinghair:

My first (and only so far) was a '73 Dodge Charger. Red with black interior, flip up head lights. Have a pic, just have to scan and post it. No idea what engine was in it. My dad gave it to me, I was 17.
