I remember the first car I had. it was a 1949 Dodge Coronet.
Holy cow, you do have a LOT OF EXPERIENCE!! lol
My first ride was an 83 Ford Ranger.
I remember the first time I was trying to knock the bearing races out of a motor grader rear end. I was so aggrivated and an old fellow told me to weld a bead around them and they'll pull out by hand. 5 mins later I was done. Used that trick dozens of times since then!!
