"It had a straight-six in it and a three on the tree, which was my first experience with a manual transmission, so I assumed all cars came with the three on the tree," he said. "I was in high school at the time. Farmtruck was able to find it again in the Carolinas and get it back for me in the same condition that it was when I sold it.
He continued, "And that's the first car that I ever took a motor and transplanted a V-8 into with my dad and then transplanted an automatic transmission in it. And had my first street race in, got my first ticket in, and met Farmtruck in a street race in."

To pay for his first car, AZN explained how his dad helped him get the money, which cost him $2800. "What my dad did is he basically said, 'Hey, I'll be your bank, and I will loan you the money,'" he revealed. "He loaned me the money, and I had to pay him back every single month like I would a bank."

Not only did his dad help him pay for the car, but he also taught the reality star how to drive it.
"He was a horrible teacher, to be honest with you, because he feared my driving, which was probably horrible at the time, and so he did more yelling than teaching. But in the end, I did learn how to drive appropriately through his aggression, " AZN added. "But yeah, he taught me how to drive. He didn't teach me how to drive like I drive now. That's Farmtruck's job."

Many fans wonder if AZN is in a serious relationship as he does not often talk (or really ever) about personal life issues on the series. While he hasn’t opened up about his relationship status, in a previous interview with Motortrend, AZN did talk about an awkward first date, which of course involved his first car.
"The bushings all wore out on it, so it would get stuck in second gear," he told the outlet. "On a date I would have to try to explain that to them, and I'd have to get out underneath the car and I'd get all greasy. It was embarrassing."
