1) I believe the first car I would have ridden in was a '72? Ford Galaxy. A "nice" white hand me down for my parents to get around W.Lafayette during college.

2) Probably my mom's '81 Cutlass Supreme. It was originally a diesel, but in 1985 mom had an old "Rocket" 350 put in. Gave it a little better pickup.

3) The first car I owned was a '79 Trans Am. Had the big eagle on the hood, t-tops. 6.6L, Olds403 under the hood. Not the fastest car in the world, but I got clocked going extremely fast once by a friendly police officer. Fond memories. The engine died when I was finishing college, and I had to sell it cheap. I wish I hadn't.
