    Thank you for sharing @Lillylou — that’s such a lovely memory! A convertible with a 3-speed on the column sounds like a fun ride, but I can completely understand the nerves when stopping on a hill with cars behind you. That clutch juggling can be tricky!

That old Ford Galaxie 500 definitely gave you a crash course in emergency response and car repairs — and you handled it like a pro. It’s amazing how a $40 fix brought it back to life!

    Appreciate you sharing that @trevenacurt — a 1970 Chevy Laguna SS is a serious first car! Those were built for performance and style. Did you get it brand new or was it already well-loved? And do you remember what it was like the first time you really opened it up on the road?

    A 1969 VW Bus — now that’s iconic! Thanks for bringing that memory to the mix @Hal1955 . Those buses had such a cool, laid-back vibe. Was it decked out in any fun colors or patterns? And did you use it more for road trips, everyday driving, or maybe both?

    A red 1968 Mustang — now that’s a dream first car! Thanks for sharing that with us @flower mom . They really don’t make them like that anymore, do they? What made you part with it in the end? And if you had the chance to get behind the wheel of one today, would you go for the same color?
