Hey, I referenced a desire to have the username of a character from a film made in 1981! That's not exactly whipper-snapper territory.

My first car was (is) a 1969 Dodge Charger that was only 15 years old when I obtained it in high school.  😦   ......I still can't believe it when I think back on those things.

My birthday month is March hence the "3". I also own several snakes (11 in total) and the general "snake eyes" of dice goes with it as well. I basically just thought of something simple when I signed up and stuck with it. I never used the name before joining here. I use a different name on every forum I join for extra anonymity.

My favorite car of all time. It's my dream to own one someday.

It was mine too only to be surpassed by the 1970 Dodge Challenger which proved elusive all of these years.  The closest thing I got to that was when Dodge re-introduced the Challenger in '08 and I bought one in 2010.  .....which I will continue to keep into the foreseeable future.   

Unfortunately, the Charger remains in a state of disrepair at the moment from sitting too long.  :(  Someday I'll get around to restoring it but for now it just sits on the side of my house.  ....it's an SE with the 383 and 727 Torqueflite auto.

I have a '69 MG-B on blocks in my garage that I'm doing a small block V8 engine swap on.  Being 6'4", I have to wear a helmet and/or goggles when I drive it because my head easily tops the windshield when the top is down.  But damn it is fun to drive.  It's so light that I can pick up the back end if someone is holding the brake pedal.

Fun cars.  ....british sports cars in general for that matter.  The nice thing is that you really don't need to go that fast in them to get the full driving experience and sensation.    They are the definition of true sports cars IMO.  I was always partial to the Austin Healey 3000 and thought it would be a cool car to own.  .....although these days probably quite expensive for one that's in good shape and depending on year. 

What's the curb weight on one of those?  I'm guessing not much more than 2,000 lbs?  It'll be a hoot with a V8.  I wonder how it will affect the balance.

Wow, you still own your first car?? That's incredible. Have you ever thought about selling it?

I doubt anyone wants a 1994 Nissan Sentra with a 5-speed manual transmission with a pitted bumper from purposely ramming shopping carts, small animals, and the occasional off-roading excursion.

Quite ironic. My SECOND car was a black 1994 Nissan Sentra with a 5-speed manual transmission, and power locks and windows.

My first was a 1987 Sentra standard with no auto anything.

Yeah....  The Charger was my first and I still have it.  I've had many offers for it over the years but I never sold it.  It's currently behind a fence on the side of my house with a car cover so no one ever sees it now (sort of an RV/trailer parking area).

I also have my Dads '86 4Runner he bought brand new.  .....that's still in decent shape and all original too.  Here's a pic from just a year or so ago:
