My first was a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2. Had it for 3 years. when i got it it had 164,000 miles. By the time it died it had a valve tick that made it sound like powerstroke desil and had 289,000. so many road trips cramming me and three of my friends into that compact. Good times

The guys that get brand new cars as their first have no idea what they missed out on in the memories department!

I bought a 1994 Dodge Intrepid back in 2003 for my first car. Drove it for almost a couple of years.

It was a rock crawler in true form*, 9000lb Warn winch, rock armor on rails, underside, bumpers made in shop class.. the COG was night to the day of FRS, but by that same token it could go places most cars could only dream of!


* as true a form for a unibody chassis, that is..

Would probably have built something similar but had Army trucks to play with from 17 to 22!
