1984 Ford LTD which I still drive in the Winter. Its a stubborn car that refuses to work properly and is inferior to my Caddy in every way (except mileage maybe) but I have to say, for the 10,000 miles or so I've driven it, its been quite reliable. It only "broke down" once and it was in my driveway
'61 Corvair, 85 stompin' horsepower/3 speed, red, slow and cheap.
I drove a 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 convertible that belonged to my dad for a while
The first car I bought was a 1974 Ford Cortina.

Hello
My first car i bought one and a half year before i could get my licence and the reason was that it needed some work, and it was kind of fun to start with fixing up the first car, learned a lot.
The car was a Opel Manta A -71 with a 1,9 liter inline 4cyl 90 hp
3 speed aut. the car only weighed 1030 kg so it was kind of sporty even if it had only 90 hp and automatic transmission. Ever since that first car i decided that i'm never gonna have a daily driver with anything but a auto transmission: one of the best invention in the world.
Here in sweden is it so that when you buy a new car with auto trans you have to pay much extra for that, and when you sell it you get less for the car because of the auto trans. but for me that only buy used cars that kind of good. besides that it is't so many cars to choose from.
Here's some pic's that shows how the Manta looks like, not of the car i had but the same model.

What are the most luxuryus car you have had that was manual?mccombie_5 said:
I work as a truckdriver sometimes and there i got to use the gearstick all i want, then you really miss the auto!
By the way, i have a good tip to feel twice the power in your dailydriver.
I worked for a truck owner with driving a timber truck between a harbor and a papermill. The load weighed app. 40 tons and total weight about 60 tons and the truck was either a Scania 143 or a Volvo F12.
Anyway in the mornings i parked the car, at the time a Opel Senator -79 3,0 liter inline 6 cyl 180 hp, by the truckowners truckgarage and went and drove the truck for about 10 hours a day then back to the garage and head on home with the car. Ooooh booooy one could think that the mechanics at the garage had installed a turbo or NOS in my car while i had been away, it felt that way when one had drove a 60 ton ekipage for the hole day and then sat in your 's, that you thought, slow car but compared with the truck your car was a dragracing car.
