first car(s) I got a 73 camaro for my first car ,from my dad, it was a 6cyl and manual 3spd on the floor, it needed a clutch , battery ,tune up and tires to get it driveable, (he thought it would take me a while to fix and insure it so I would not be driving right away ...but it was all done in a few weeks,) at the same time as the camaro my grand-pa (who helped buy the parts for the camaro ) gave me a 73 dodge truck 6cyl and manual 3spd on the tree, and scince then I have almost always had a car and a truck....
