A 1983 blue Toyota pick-up my Uncle gave me because he was only going to get $2-300 in a trade-in for it.

The first I actually owned was an '81 or '83 white Pontiac T1000. A Chevette replica. lol!

Except mine had a sweet WET FLOOR SIGN shoved down into the grill, and it had a huge drawing of a pig flying on the doors that read "PIGS FLY WEST." It made no sense, but we were drunk when we drew that and it made sense at the time. Haha.

1995 Holden Commodore VR....which is still my car now, too bad petrol prices prevent me from driving it much ($US 6.20 a gallon if my conversions are right).

I drove a Holden down under. Pretty much an Aussie version of a Ford. I also bought an old Datsun that we had to put a liter of oil into every 150 miles. We called it "The Wombatt". When we left, I sold it back to the guy I bought it from for A$200 less. So, I basically rented a car for 3 months for about A$300! Helluva deal!

1979 Fiat X 1/9 5-speed
Fun car to drive, but it was in the shop more than on the road! Found out that FIAT means "Fix it again, Tony!" in Italian! Very Happy

Victoria Bitter. I think I drank a swimming pool of that while I was down there. Tried to get the stuff imported to the states when I came back and no one could do it. So back to Heinnies. Sucked at the time!

Back in 1984, yes I know 1984, I rolled a 1967 Oldsmobile NinetyEight. Metallic torquise, 4 door, power everything (even the trunk), big ole 425 ci engine with automatic for maximum cruisin."

This car was such a tank! 27+ feet long and I could at 6'2" lay down in the front or back seat (hell the trunk for that matter)(with the doors closed mind you) and be comfy comfy...

When I was in the UK I drove a Vauxhall that leaked gas when in use. No big deal, really, I lived close to the base. That was until someone in front of me tossed a cigarette out their window. Nothing quite like waiting to explode, let me tell you. I bought another $300 crapper the next day. Haha.

79 Ford F-150, long bed 302. It had factory sliding back glass, 5 spoke mags, bed rails & the cool toolbox under the side of the bed. I had a kicker box behind the seat with a 100 watt amp & a 6 disc changer wired through the factory 8 track. It was a cool ride.
