Your first car
I had to start this after seeing this http://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/Forum/Post?id=59767423 thread in the mains. I found a picture online of my first official car, and I have to admit, I'm a little choked up. I loved that car and still have dreams about is and my '86 Mustang GT sometimes. Well, this one wasn't mine, but it is almost exactly the same.
This car is a 1972 Mercury Montego GT. Mine was the same color, and rims, though I had 60's on the back, shag carpet, even in the trunk, 8-track tape player and customized (bastaredized) speakers, 351 windsor 2 barrel and a glass pack muffler. The only difference is, mine was originally an MX. not a GT (a little more elegant rear window line, not the fat fastback look). I was driving to school one morning, hit black ice and ended up wrecking the front end. My Dad found a GT front end for it, and we replaced it and repainted it the same basic green, only metallic. It really rocked back then. I wish I could find it again. I'd restore it, and make it a cruiser/toy.
I miss this car.

Dad recently gave me his 2010 Mazda 3, 38 mpg, I can't complain. Although that bike there is my baby, and the first(and only) vehicle in my name. 2002 KTM 125sx, not street legal, total competition machine, that much power(KTMs are essentially built competition ready from the factory) in a bike that weighs that little makes for a total woods weapon. The SX series is motocross, but I'm setting it up for cross country, while keeping the high strung engine characteristics. Essentially, armor it up so it stays in one piece after a crash(you can see the fist sized dent in my exhuast, and my bend rear fender), toss on some race lights, a couple performance upgrades, and I'm ready for what ever a competition can throw at me.
