Yes and no.. lets see:
1) 80hp
2) no airconditioning
3) barely any heat
4) 17 year old car

That said, yeah, it was fun! (despite 80hp means a 0-60 in about 13 seconds.. 13... let that sink in)
That is true. They are a bit cooler now because of the swaps you can do into them. A lot of people put Subaru motors in them making that 80hp near triple itself.
my first car had 78hp but I am sure it was much less fun to drive.

1982 Chevy S10 2.8l v6 5 speed manual. I loved that little truck while in high school. Sadly sold it to my friends little brother who wrapped it around a pole. It was roll up windows, manual locks, reg cab, looked like a bumble bee, but I installed a killer alarm and a kick ass tape deck that I plugged my CD Man into with house speakers..lol

This is not a picture of it but looks exactly like it. I wasn't privileged enough to have a hot rod at age sixteen. I had grandmas hand me down. LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE! :p
Put 2 12" kicker CVR in the trunk with an 1800w amp and felt like I was the shit. I was indeed not. I received my first speeding ticket going 91 in a 65 in this thing. :doh:
The light covers didn't open and close like they were supposed to but it was a lot easier to clean the rear windshield!! And it oddly had the softest seats I have ever felt to this day.

I mentioned earlier that my first car was a hand me down '65 Barracuda. It was was cool having my own car in high school in the 70’s. My first new car was a 1976 Pontiac Sunbird. It was a POS but it was my POS. ;) I paid $2500 cash for it. Crazy huh? Upgraded that to a '79 Trans Am. Then, made a big switch and bought my first Japanese car, a red 1984 Honda CRX. Fun little car.

1974 Olds 442. I was 16 when I got it 1985. This one isn't mine, I'd have to dig through old photos and scan it. But the color scheme is the same.

1995 Acura Legend, grandparents bought it for me with over 200,000 miles. Paint was chipping, leather cracked, but man that thing still had power.
