I got an 88 Ranger when I was 17. Got rid of it fo an 86 F-150 at 19. Sold the F-150 for my stang 2 1/2 yrs ago and last year I picked up a 93 F-150. The stang is by far my favorite, but the 93 F-150 is fun and handles better than anything I have ever driven, ecxept for my friends 98 BMW 323.

First car was a 1984 Buick Century. That one was a big hit with the ladies ;) . Traded that in on a:

1994 Chevy Cavalier (totalled by my Dad in an accident that nearly killed him), took insurance check and paid cash for a

1987 Pontiac Grand Prix (and burned up the local streets with the awesome 305 power before it went south and was swapped for a 350, car was promptly stolen), took insurance check and made down payment on a

1991 5.0 Mustang LX Convertible (stolen), took insurance check and bought a

1998 Mustang GT


In between I also owned a:

1982 Pontiac Grand Prix (which I was given as compensation when an employer went out of business - was to be a project but I sold it to a guy who ran demolition derby for $100)

1982 GMC S-15 Longbed (bought for $500 and tore it apart for the 350, 700-R4, and Edelbrock performer intake housed within, which later went into the 87 Grand Prix)

1983 Datsun 280ZX ($800 commuter car so I could leave the Mustangs at home - sold when I left CA)

Well I'm only 18 but I've already started my list of Mustangs with 2 pretty rare Mustangs.

When I was 17 I owned a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351-4bbl, 4 speed. Man I miss that car.
I turned 18 and bought a 1979 Mustang Indy 500 Pace Car, it's got a 302-2bbl, 3 speed auto in it. Thing is damn slow but still nice crusin car if it were summer. :( I hope to sell it come spring time and pick up something alittle quicker. I'm going to be looking for a 1988-1990 Mustang GT, or a Grand National. :D
I hope I don't get flamed for buying a GM. :( :D Aslong as it's domestic I like it.
