This was mine: https://pic8.co/sh/S0Cmdb.jpeg

I got it the summer before senior year. When I didn’t have sports practice, I was washing dishes in a bakery and selling women’s shoes (Can I get a woah Bundy?!) I put around $500 towards it and paid my own insurance. Living in a nigger city, I remember insurance was expensive and hard to pay when sports were in season so my parents would pick up the tab for me.

It was large but not as large as the car my dad really wanted to get me. That car was a 70’s garage-kept Towncar with no miles on it. It was mint but it was so fucking huge I was scared to drive it.

My Delta 88 was a piece of shit but I had some wheels. The trunk leaked which made the car always smell like mildew. A buddy on the football team got one too and his ran so much better than mine. We would “race” in the parking lot after practice and he would smoke me every time. The a/c only blew out the bottom which was rough when it was 95 degrees outside.

I made gas money by bring home team members. I had plenty room.

The large room of the front and back seats meant lots of room for sinning with my whore girlfriend (cheated on me in college). It got to a point when I could only start it after spraying a bunch of carb cleaner.

Someone stole the spoked hubcaps. One time I almost caught it on fire because, knowing nothing about car audio installation, I hooked up an amp with the power wire partially exposed outside the car and in through the driver door. The next morning, as I’m walking in to school, a group of girls were yelling, “NAME, your car’s on fire!” From then on I had burn marks on the door, drivers seat, carpet…..

I only had it for a year. I was commuting to college and needed something more reliable but I’ll never forget that old hoopty and the feeling of freedom that came with having your own wheels.

So, what was your first car?

Yeah. Growing up the way I did was a big advantage for me car wise. I have a brother 8 years my senior. He had his own shop for 42 years till he retired about 6 yrs ago. I came up a grease monkey just like him working for him ( not always fun) so buying and selling cars was just something you did. Also they were SO friggin easy to get. I cant tell you how many Winter Beaters I bought for peanuts. Shit like a 72 Sedan Deville loaded for 250. Buddy of mine's Winter Beater was a 76 Lincoln Town car also loaded he paid 400 bucks for. I bought and drove shit with only the carpet as a floor, shit with no heat in the Winter in New England. It seemed like every week there was another car to flip or ride the winter on. As for Muscle cars, like I said, we were tripping over them where I lived. Biggest mistake I ever made was hearing about 69 Z for sale. Im not a huge Camaro guy but went and looked at it. It was ten years old by then but still in great shape. All original with the numbers matching 302 and a 4 speed green on green, I was going to flip it. I asked my buddy what does the guy want for it?? He said 1500.00. I shot back Yeah good fuckin luck with that and walked. Who in the hell had ANY idea what this shit was going to end up being worth? I still kick myself for not just buying it and parking it. That one car could've paid off my house today.
