Get to Know You Contests

Ricks First Wheels…

Was a 1959 Ford. I bought my first truck from my father when I was 16 years old for $300.

We would like to share with you some of the cool stories that were entered.

Brandon-1976 Datsun 280Z. A friend of mine got a 1975 280Z for his 16th birthday which his dad painted and customized. He took me on a ride in it and I was searching Craigslist that night. Not even a week later, I had arranged to drive to Tacoma and meet a guy selling a 280Z that wasn’t running. We brought a battery and some gas and drove it back to Everett without issue! I’ve done a lot of work (and spent way too much money) on it in the 7 years that I’ve owned it, but I learned a lot and met some great people in that time.

Margie-1968 Ford Fairlane wagon, baby blue 🙂 .. I bought it myself with babysitting money. $250

Isaiah-1986 Lincoln town car pearl white red interior boss 302. Used it to get to work as a flagger for 6 months.

Maksim-2007 Audi A4. Rick had me covered in court when I wrecked it 🙂

Jennifer– Bought my first car from my mom, who bought it from my great grandma. It was a 1987 Nissan Sentra. Bright red, my great grandma bought it off the showroom floor in 1987! My friends nicknamed the car Snail, and it was very fitting!

Vanessa-1977 Ford Mustang Cobra. Just like the one in the 1970s Charlie’s Angel’s TV show but black with gold stripes. My dad took out the stock 302 and put a 351 Windsor. IT was a traffic ticket magnet.

Jenica-My first car was a brown and orange Ford Pinto. I’m not sure what year it was. I was a senior in high school and we bought it from our neighbors for $500. I was so excited to have my own car! I only had it for a few months when I was driving on the freeway and the engine blew. I barely made it off the exit and had it parked on the side of the road overnight. We returned to have it towed the next day and a semi-trunk hadn’t seen it and backed into it and crushed the front end. That was the end of my car.

Rick Presented our drawing winners with a $100 Gas Card.

Tami-My first car was Toyota Corolla that I worked all summer at a used car lot to buy.

MaryAnn-1964 Chevy Nova.
