I came home in a 79 vette with the window sticker still on it. My pops was driving it home from the dealer, when my mom went into labor. Three days later I rode home in my moms arms....

I guess Mom, Dad, and I came home from the hospital in the back seat of my grandparents' 1952 Mercedes 220A Cabriolet. Not the actual car, theirs was tan:

If they only knew what those cars would be worth today.... I guess they junked it a few years later due to extensive rust... in about 1962 or so when they got their first Type 3.

And it was brand new...

Not quite.
You couldn't buy new cars when I was born. Everything was for WWII war production.

1940 Buick Super 4door sedan that my Dad bought new 4 years before I was born.

I think it was an '86 or '87 Renault Alliance, or an '88 Isuzu Trooper. Damn, I'm gettin' old :oops:

1986 VW Jetta

1984 Volvo Station Wagon 240DL

Either could be considered as the first one my mom drove or the first one I remember.

Born in panama @ the canal zone in '67. more then likely i was carried out. i believe the first car i rode in was when my parents moved out east, and my dad bought a used '70 Mustang Shelby (GT500) i think?, in grabber orange - for around $1700.00 - that was sold for a Boss 302. My mom had a Ford Fairlane, until they divorced and she got a green Pinto sedan- which my mom, me (5), my sis (7) and our begal - drove from Trenton, NJ- to P.A. Washington...
:shock:

edit- found some pics of the Shelby-

1956 Chevrolet 210 Wagon (white on black w/ the largest hood ornament ever!)
1978 Oldsmobile EightyEight (silver w/ red interior. Red everything, carpet, dash, steering wheel, door panels, a, b, and c pillar plastic, headliner)
1972 Porsche 914 (blue, still got it)
1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (it was gold, T-top, with the black bird on the hood I think)

The first two were my grampa's and the latter two belonged to my parents at the time of my birth. Wow, I just now noticed that both my mom and my dad had two-seaters! Fuckin' a! :D

They both owned the 914?

Gotcha. Damnit... for some reason or another I swore the Trans Am was a two-seater. Aww well. :? The 914 was my mom's.

I had to ask my father... I came home in Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year, a 1976 Toyota Celica GT Liftback.

Brand new 1968 Bus

Sun Jun 22, 2008 12:28 pm

It was either a 63 belair, or a ford pinto. I'm hoping it was the former...

A red (and much more rusty) one of these....

I would love to have been present at the pitch for the Pacer- whomever presented it deserves one heck of a pat on the back (or kick in the ass) for getting it approved into development.
