64 Old Cutlass. Summer 1970, Dad was out of town for the weekend so I disconnected the speedo cable, picked up a bunch of friends and drove to Indiana and back to NY. No I dont have any children.

The first car I drove at 17 was my dad's Morris Minor Traveller:

Which was somewhat embarrassing... but my first car, also at 17, was a bright yellow TR3A with red leather... in a terrible state... but it was mine... until something blew and it became a permanent fixture on my parent's drive for a few years...

Neither of these pictures is mine...
Talked my parents into the 1969 GTO because it braked, handled and accelerated well. (notice the ranking of priorities).
Very nice of them to drive 2 cars so I could be "cool" at graduation.

Cool thread!! ibmiked, love the 2002!!!
In 1977, I was 15 and had a license. I drove my Dad's '77 Bronco, and still have it. Matter of fact I have three small Broncos now with another in the works. I am not a hoarder... A collector is a better term.
The year was 1971 and I put my first car on the road a black on black 1970 Plymouth Barracuda.

I bought my almost-worn out 1965 Mustang at age 16:

My high school friend took this picture but has sadly passed away. This car was a 3-speed on the floor with a V-8 4-barrel.
I later raced a 1965 Mustang to a HSR Championship in 2010:

but I LOVE THIS THREAD
I knew yall would have some wonderful car's
I drove the family 57 Ford Station Wagon. It was our only car. It is best not to post a picture as it would probably offend a number of people.
