I got my first car!

It's amazing how much better phone cameras have gotten since then.

Happy carneversery!

It's amazing how good cameras are in general nowadays.

Gotta have a mop on your head when you pose with your first car. This was actually taken almost 13 years ago at this point.

Do es your plate say ABG? The first car I bought specifically for the Gambler was a 97 Explorer, so that's pretty cool!

ABG 3614 was the plate I had on the Explorer. Did your plate also start with ABG?

It’s not the first plate that was on the Explorer, my granddad had it first and had a couple different plates on it.

To play this game, I'd have to scan a non-existent photograph. Which is thankfully non-existent...

Technically an early smartphone would have been better, but most people were still using flip-phones with terrible low-light capability.

Nope. The Mustang had PDI2001 and the Escort had PTK5276. Those are the only two I remember, including my current one.

No mop hair for me....just snow! My first car, i.e. my 2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS known as ‘Beastie’ was bought in the middle of December 2008 ! I bought my first car late in life...I was 22 at the time!

Na, most of my pics are from a flip phone. It actually had a better camera than most smart phones do, until years of abuse took it’s toll on the lense.

Neat neat I bought a red on red 88 4-cylinder Mustang at an abandoned car auction for 350 bucks about 15 years ago. I beat on it for about 6 months af ter i p ut a fuel pump in it. Not fast but it was great having the top down all summer.

Th en a friend of mine bought it and swapped in a 5l. He drove it to Nebraska and ran it out of oil.
