My 1st Car... (blast from the past)


Recommended Posts

Now that theres a even OLDER-gen forum, i feel I have to make it be known :)

 

My very 1st car, and the car that started it all for me was a 1979 Wagon. I always thought it was a DL, but it had a tach... so maybe a GL.

My mother took this picture the day after I bought it :)

I only had it for about 8 months before I lost my license. Then I went sube-less for a while.

 

But I impressed myself and alot of my friends with that car. We nicknamed it The Misery Machine (Parady of The Mystery Machine from scooby doo). It got me through Highscool though, all winter without a problem.

 

About a year or so ago I found this gem nearby, and scored it at no charge (except for a 300mile drive home in a car that hadn't ran in 2 years). But one look and I couldnt say no...

After I got that '78 Wagon, I found a local Subaru enthusiast who was interested in restoring it. Sold it to him and will plan on keeping in touch to check its progress. So far the body is being treated for rust before a fresh coat of paint goes on.

 

So there we go... my Historic Subaru History :)
