Your first ride... and what happen to it.

[Wayne Doenges]

My first car was a 1974 Pontiac Ventura. Bought it in 1976 (Bi-Centennial year). It was red with an all white vinyl interior. Don't ever get white as it is a bear to keep clean. It had a 350 ci V8 engine but was a dog. Top speed 115. Took a long time to get there too. It was based on a Nova style body.
I got my first speeding ticket on July 4th 1976. I was going back to Keesler Air Force base where I was stationed. Cop was at the bottom of a long hill and I didn't adjust my speed for the hill
I have no idea what ever became of it. I got an assignment to Turkey and my parents wouldn't take care of it while I was away
I've owned four cars since.
1) 1974 Pontiac Ventura
2) 1982 Dodge O/24 Miser (sold with 102,000 miles)
3) 1987 Plymouth Voyager (sold with 217,000 miles)
4) 2004 Pontiac Vibe
