RE: Let's Drive Down Memory Lane: First Cars - Discussion

First car was a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

It was burgundy with the matching rally rims. Had a 350 in it with a 4 barrel carburetor. No 18 yr old kid should have a fast car as their first car...lmao.

I bought it one week after I graduating high school with the money I saved working part time my junior and senior year.

I freaking loved that car and went through a rear set of tires in just the first summer as I was lighting them up with burnouts daily. (again, no 18 yr kid should have a fast car)

The car lasted me one year as the following summer I was working two full-time jobs at the same time trying to save enough for college tuition for the coming school year.

I ended up falling asleep behind the wheel and rear ended someone at a red light. Not good, I did however take the lesson of not driving when I'm extremely tired ever again.

Miss that car. Recently saw a very similar one for sale and thought about buying it but financially not the best move given I no longer have a "day job."
