Your First Car
 

What kind of car did you have first?

This was my car in high school, except in black.

This was my car in college -- again in black.

1987 Buick Century station wagon, powder blue. My parents had gotten a new car, so they gave me the old family one. It lasted until the summer after my freshman year of college, when it died at a red light.

Heh, my first car was a 1990 Buick Century named Betty. She was maroon outside, with maroon interior and a tape deck. She was a damn good car. RIP.

Remember the Adam Sandler song about his car... That was my first car... a 1995 Saturn SL1. How I hated it.

'92 Honda Accord, which I had for about 6 months. Then I got a new car.

DA, those cars are TOO cute.

I had a Ford Escort station wagon. I'm not kidding, unfortunately. WTF.

I had a red 97 Ford Escort.

A 1984 Red Tempo (it was 1992 when I got it). Sort of like this, but mine was a bit more burgandy:

I loved it. We used to sing to is "Little Red Tempo, Baby you're not too fast"

HAHA, I had a Tempo but it was an '87 and it was powder blue. "The little blue wonder" as we called it because whenever you got it, you always wondered if it would start or not!

Speaking of, what the heck was up with the powder blue back then? Everyone had a freaking powder blue car.

Aw, thanks. They were so much fun to drive!

And I thought I was real cute driving them.

I wish I still had them, they would be worth a ton of money today.

Every once in a while I see a restored model of either of them and just drool.

Mine was a kickass '88 Chevy Beretta 5-speed that both my sisters drove before I got it in 1994.

I drove it all through my freshman year of high school (loved having a school permit which allowed me to drive at 14) until I ran it out of oil the next summer. After that I got my grandparents' '82 grey Buick Century.

Yeah, so if you take this car:

And you imagine it in white, that's basically what my first car looked like. It was a 1993 Nissan 240SX. A lot of guys wanted to buy it from me and race it and stuff :rolleyes: Ironically, I got it as a hand-me-down from my grandmother. I had it from high school until sophomore year of college, when I, er, lost a battle with a Honda Pilot ... my poor little car was sold off for parts :(

Edited b/c I found a better pic.

93 Chevy Corsica...good first car

'92 Acura Vigor. It was originally my mother's car; she gave it to me when she quit driving about 8 years ago. I still drive it - it's a solid little car.

First, I got a 1985 Plymouth Caravelle (except mine was gray):

Then I got a 1992 Red Honda Civic HB - wrecked that - then got a 1994 Red Honda Civic HB that I have now:

My first car was an 89 LX 5.0 Mustang, in red-- pretty much looked this the one in this picture. I got the car in 1991-- I drove it my senior year of high school.

First car was a blue 1971 VW Bug that I bought for $1,000 in 1984. I think I got ripped off but I didnt know any better then.

No heat, no air. Sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winter.

How could Germany make a car with NO heat. It always amazed me.

My first car was an 80 Chevy Citation, until I totaled it. Then I had an 83 Cutlass Calais for a while.

I don't know, but my buddies had a good time making fun of me about it. After baseball practice one day, I came out and found they'd taped a "Grandma's Parking Only" sign on my back window.

Mine was teal though.

I got the hand-me-down 1997 Saturn SL2. It did its job though.

Fast car was a '92 Black Grand Am. Purchased in 97, died in 2001.

My first car was a silver 2000 Acura Integra.

Mine was a cherry-red 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a spoiler and a sunroof. http://i5.tinypic.com/23kc1zk.jpg
She was aptly named Zippy.

I posted this photo over at the "What do you drive" thread.. because this literally was my first car, and I still have it. (I only drive it on nice days. I have a second car that I use most of the time)

I bought my '67 Stang as a senior in highschool from a teacher who hardly ever drove it. (I bet he's kicking himself today for not holding on to it!)

I drove it the whole time I was at college in Florida. Think about it.. the Florida heat with black seats, black roof, and no air conditioning!

It was a "Fred Flintstone" car by then.. rusted out floors! I would stop at a red light, and the woman in the car next to me would roll down her windows and say, "Hey, I love your shoes!"

But, eventually, I had it competely stripped and restored. Rebuilt engine, new floors, carpet, interior, etc. It took about 7 years from start to finish.

Now, my Mustang is my pride and joy.

I hate to tell you this but your teacher isn't kicking himself in the pants for selling it. He can buy a fully restored plain Jane hardtop in that year for 10-12. Unless you have the A or K code true GT most of those things only hold sentimental value since they made so many.

I got my first car this year. I really like driving :)

Oh Rudy, Rudy, Rudy...

I'm beginning to think you have a crush on me! You love to follow me around, don't you?

Your post, btw.. is full of inaccuracies and assumptions. I didn't buy my car from "my teacher'".. I didn't even know the teacher I bought it from. You don't know how much I paid for it, so you don't know why I said he's kicking himself. And you also don't know how much I've had it appraised for, (Your figures are off, btw).

But that's OK.. if it makes you happy.. soldier on, my friend.

1988 S-10 Chevorlet Blazer, 4.3 liter V-6.

Mine was red/white.

i'm still driving my first car, a 95 toyota corolla.
*hopefully that will change by Christmas*

Listen you douche bag. I didn't follow you around. I didn't even say anything bad to you. You had to assume though and I've had it with you.

You are a loser AI who talks about her tai chi practice and how she works in tv or some crap and have managed to piss off all the sorority girls on here. And now you've managed to annoy the crap out of me.

And that's a plane Jane 67. It's not a GT, it doesn't have matching A or K code engines. It's not a Shelby or a Fastback. In terms of performance it has none. At least the GTs can keep up with a lot of cars today. Your "Stang" is nothing but a mid block 2 barrel engine that was produced in large quantities. It's a hard top, the vinyl gives it a little more but not much, and in the most perfect scenario with pristine contour parts and low mileage you couldn't sell it for more than 15. There's no chance that "the teacher" got rich selling that car to you so it doesn't matter how little he got paid for it. Your fake ass appraiser I'm sure told you all that - I'm sure he knew exactly how much it would sell for and now how much he thinks it's worth.

You can also check with the good folks at stangnet and mustang forums.

--It must be real hard being so immature once you pass the age of 50.

You DO love me! That's how boys flirt. I think it's so cute! :)

i had a red 94 chevy cavalier

ANYWAY.....

Back to topic *cough*

This was my first car, an '89 Grand Am. However, it's previous owner was a Buckeye's fan therefore it was bright red with grey trim. It's name was Grendal :)

The first car that I "drove" was an ancient VW Rabbit.
My first car that I owned was a 1995 VW Golf GL.

I wouldn't touch you with Saddam Hussein's dick.

The first car I owned was a 1989 Plymouth Sundance. I still miss it. :( This is pretty much the color it was (only this pic is of a 1990).

The first car I drove was my parents' 1966 Plymouth Fury II. Incidentally, it was also the car that transported Mom 33 to the hospital while she was in labor with me. It was referred to as The Boat by my friends. Like 6 straight years of bad hair days wasn't enough to make me a freak, LOL.

Ours was tan though. Holy crap, I forgot how big and ugly this car was.

Wow, you and I had the same first car (just different years). I didn't know that. Cool.;)

My first car was a red 1997 Nissan 200SX:

http://www.edmunds.com/pictures/VEHI...23-396x249.jpg

Bought it during my first year of law school. Beauty of going to an urban campus- cars were absolutely unnecessary and actually a pain in the ass.

I drove my mom's car in high school:
http://www.chuckcarlson.com/Dodge_Ne...1995--5468.jpg

Back in high school I was out of the country for two years so I didn't have my own car and depended on borrowing one from "Parental Authority" when I needed wheels. Mom had a Volvo wagon which was great for tailgateing or hauling a bunch of the guys around. Dad had a Lincoln Continental that he used for a work car and a Morgan for a play car. There was a Chevvy that had been around forever and Dad had it restored so John and I pretty much shared it unless one of us could talk him into the Morgan for a special occasion. The Chevvy was an old '64 Impala SS convertable, bright red with white leather seats and a white drop top. A real 60s period piece, but it was great and we loved it. John still has it and keeps it in excellent shape so that it looks almost showroom new. Sis got the Volvo and kept it until a couple of years ago when she got a Morgan of her own. When John staked his claim on the Chevvy I bought an old Plymouth Duster and kept that until I got my XJ6 4.2. That car is now 24 years old (I'm 29) and has been restored and looks fantastic. British racing green, dark chocolate leather interior, burled walnut dash. Love it.

Awww. you really love me!!!!
