[QUOTE="Icecap, post: 188007, member: 4911"] My first car was a 1953 Vauxhall Velox that I bought after graduation from high school. I bought it from another student that I was attending tech school pre-apprenticeship program with in 1966. That car was my transition from transit to driving myself. My second car was a brand new VW Beetle that I bought in 1967. My third car was my first high performance car a 1969 Cougar XR-7 CJ428 that I drove as a daily driver for 14 years before I sold it to an apprentice working with me and bought a family station wagon. Through the 1970's I was part of a group of young guys working in a good paying industry taking advantage of provincial economic and industrial expansion and development. Guys I was working with drove an AMC Javelin, Hemi Dodge Charger, Mustang, Cleveland powered Ranchero and one even drove a 1970 454 powered C3 Corvette that I had a ride in at 160 MPH. Oh for the good old days! After that it was a series mini vans and economy commuter cars until the Corvette came into my life in 2016 re-sparking that desire to drive a performance car. Here is what the XR-7 looked like only mine was dark Ivy green with white pin stripes and the faux black vinyl top. [ATTACH type="full" alt="XR7 (2).jpg"]34776[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
