Sadly my first car (15/16 years old) was a Ford Pinto....in my defense it had a really strong 289 , and 4.57 gears. Still....I wish my first woulda been a badass chevy.

Hank,

If your first car was a Pinto, I don't think you're allowed on this site

I'm going to go out on a limb here and hope I don't get booted off the site by showing a picture of my first car.
I know Kasey will stick up for me.
Don't forget I was heavily influenced by the Minicar division at Motion. And getting air under the front tires of this only required about 80hp. This is a test run with fresh metal flake black with pearl blue flip flop paint. Note masking tape not completely removed.

I like the VW's too, I have had a few over the years and would like to have an Empi GTV bug someday or a Motion Mini car. I was sleeping on Ebay this weekend and lost a Thunder bug decal.....
