Your First Car...

I was 16, 1975 ford maverick, destroyed it in my 1st 6 months. My dad said after the accident that's why I got a Ford he didn't trust me with a better car. My brother got a Chevy SS badass, he sold it and they bought a 56 Chevy bel-air and pimped that poo out.

My Maverick was the 2 door sport white, I have a picture of it after I destroyed it need to upload it but this is what they look like

1961 Dodge Lancer (I used to call it a Dodge Cancer!) with a 170 cu in. Slant 6. The thing was so slow that VW Beetles would pass me! It was red 2 door with horizontal tail fins in the back!

The nice thing was, every time it was in the garage for work, The Dodge dealer would loan me a 1960 Chrysler 300F! That car was awesome! It had a 413 Max Wedge V-8 with dual cross Ram 2 - 4 brl carbs!

I didn't care that it had tail fins! It ran like a scolded dog!

I wished my Father would have let me buy it! It had a Wonderbar on the radio! (Think Seek!) Just hit the WONDERBAR and the radio woud automatically change to the next station. Something that wouldn't show up again for probably 20 years!

(People at my high school would make fun of it, until they saw how fast it was!)

'68 Chevelle in 1979.

Bought it for $100 bucks. The driver window didn't roll down and the passenger door didn't open from the outside. The doghouse was a different color than the body. Had the straight 6 and 3 on the tree tranny.

I put a lot of work into it, installing a 350 SS motor and tranny, paint job, AM/FM Cassette with amp and it was saweet. I let my younger sis look after it when I joined the military. I woiuld reclaim it when I was on leave. I didn't want to take it with me because of my duty and it would just be stuck somewhere for months on end. She wrecked it about 2 years later. I shoulda took it with me.

87 Ford Tempo but it was a two door and had a manual transmission. My parents were the type that made me buy my own car and insurance, so for $250 I bought my first car in 1994. This thing had been in three accidents before I bought it. I had to put about another $250 to get it legal to drive on the road. A couple years later my wife got hit while she was driving it. I got $1650 from the insurance company. This is the only car I ever turned a profit on.

'91 Lexus ES250

Mine was gold, but didn't look nearly as nice and shiny. Had about 300k miles on it when I got it...saved up $1.5k working at Harris Teeter and got the thing right before my junior year of high school. About 6 months afterward I was driving along Pleasant Plains Rd in Matthews and the brake calipers fell off the front disc brakes. I was lucky that I wasn't on the interstate or on a busy road...because I could have died. I pulled into a neighborhood and went up a hill to slow down, and pulled the e-brake.

Great car otherwise...got rid of it after that and my grandma gave me her car.

first car was a 78 Pontiac Phoenix...same as a Nova basically...with a 350 in it.

Only had it short term right out of high school...about 6 months later, in the spring, I bought an 88 Mustang GT right off the truck. Loved that damn car.

My first was an 82 Phoenix, I somehow pulled 2 years out of it.

    • Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.  
    • Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market. 
    • I think we look at both.  I wouldn't mind resigning Dalton for a deal.  He would know the offense and there is no pressure to see what we have in him. Then I wouldn't mind finding a low round rookie with potential.
