What was your first RIDE???
What is the first car you owned? (Make, Model, Year, Color)
Whether your parents bought it or you paid for it yourself; Was it everything that you dreamed? OR Was it rust bucket on wheels that simply got you from point A to point B??? |
1997 Chevy Cavelier LS
Teal.. and 4 door. I named it "My Baby" I was going half on the Baby... with my parents Not a rust bucket at all! Baby lasted me from 2000-2005... I cried when the engine locked up while I was driving to Nashville... Good times! |
1997 Toyota RAV 4, purple (when I requested blue)
The Beast Grad present from the 'rents Just got it in 2005, and it only 80,000+ miles on it... gets me from point A to B and everywhere in between |
1999 Mitsubishi Galant-black
Her name was Faith, because I bought her on faith! I needed a car! LOL I got her in 2000 so she was relatively new, 15,000 miles on her at the time of purchase. She was a beauty. It was the year that they changed the body style on the Galants, so she was gorgeous, to me anyway. |
1995 Dodge Shadow, purple
"Sugarplum" Sugarplum ran like a dream for all of the 6 months I had her, until she fell victim to the Cincinnati Car Theft ring. Ever walk out to where you parked your car and find a brick and glass waiting for you??? Yeah, me, during my senior year of HS. So not a fun experience.:o :( And to make matters worse, they dropped some pictures I got developed at the Target I bought them at, and left a cassette tape in my car - "Get It How You Live" How appropriate.:mad: |
1985 Toyota Celica Hatchback
Her name was Vanessa Vanessa ran just fine until her accident, then she was gone forever. I got Vanessa for $150. A Toyota dealership in my area was having a sale and they were marking 6 cars down to $99. When the gates opened you had to run to the car you wanted and hop in to the driver seat. They would come around and mark the cars down and you would pray that your car was one of the $99 ones. When they marked it down you had to decide right there if you wanted it or not. The first car they went to was the one my dad was in and they marked it down to $99. So it ended up being $150. That is how I paid for my first car. |
1980 Black Datsun 200SX.
My Mom bought it for me after a friend of the family said he would give her a good deal. It was a car and it was mine, that was good enough for me, lol. Plus, I didn't have to ride the bus anymore. It drove OK but it was kind of loud. It didn't have heat, so I drove with a blanket in the car the entire winter. Luckily with the blanket and the heat off the engine, I wasn't too cold. I did have AC which was good. I believe I drove it one year, then my brother got his hands on it and literally drove the car into the ground over the next two years. |
brown 81 Datsun 300 station wagon. Mum bought it for me and named it Bessie. I got me from point to point b. It went to hell in a handbasket in the spring of 1994. It died in Arlington, VA on my way to work.
Glad I lived on a bus line! :D |
Banana yellow 1978(?) Ford Fairmount. I bought it in 1992 for $700; sold it in 1993 for $800 ;)
|
Nissan Sentra 2002 Black
Bought it myself, it was my first big purchase. Boy was it depressing to owe all of that money. (Paid it off last year though. Yay!) Brand new, and tt was exactly what I hoped for, for the price that I was willing to pay. |
'84 Chevy Cavalier, got it in '98.
Stepdad bought it off of his co-worker's mother for like $750. It was great condition since the lady was older and never drove anywhere..got a paint job at Maaco and put a CD deck in there for me as a X-mas gift and I thought I was the "hotness" lol... Not everything I dreamed ofbut definitely got me from point A to point B without any problems plus it was in better condition than other folks..and gas was $.99 then and I could fill up the tank with $10...I sure do miss those days :( |
My first car was a light blue 1985 Honda Civic I bought on 6/22/96. I bought it for $1200 from a private party. It was a POS; it had a CRX engine instead of a regular Civic engine. No radio either. It did have an automatic transmission, but it shifted jerkily; Honda didn't get all the bugs out on that till later models. I nicknamed it the "Adam Sandler" after his song "Ode to My Car".
I traded it in 3 weeks later for a white 1990 Civic that gave me much less problems. |

Whether your parents bought it or you paid for it yourself; Was it everything that you dreamed? OR Was it rust bucket on wheels that simply got you from point A to point B??? Oh I love this thread!! I had a 1995 White Mistubishi Mirage named "Priscilla", I even named my second car "Prissy" Paid for my damn self! Everything I dreamed, that car I used and abused and it lasted the whole time I was at Southern. I cried like a baby traded her in in 2002 :( :( and I NEVER cry! |
Okay I guess I should participate since I started this topic!!!
I want to start off by saying I suffered not having a vehicle through out high school and four years of college (SSSSSSU Baybee!). When I graduated from Southern in Fall 2002 the 'Rents bought me a 2000 BMW 323i, BLACK (My favorite color on a car). I asked for a Honda Accord but I wasn't complaining. And I'm grown enough to not run right out and throw some rims on it... no offense to anyone but it's not my thing. I did put some tint on it and my SU ALUM plates. The ride only had 35K miles on it when I got it (It was a dealer lease)... Don't ask me how many miles are on it now... I was rolling up and down I-10 constantly in the ride from TX to LA. Love the luxury but the up keep is MAJOR!! Don't have to do a lot to it but when something wears out, as all cars do, the parts are 'spensive! It costs $60 just to get an oil change. |
My first car was a Mazda 626. I paid for it myself after my first year in college. I think it was a 91 model. Well... after a month it just stopped working!! Now I have my baby, 99 toyota corolla. He's been trustworthy thus far so I think I'll stay with him for now! :D
|
I bought my first car during the summer of 1998. It was a '95 Toyota Corolla. It only had 33K miles on it. I called her "Co-Co" and she was my baby. She she got me to here, there, and EVERYWHERE in between. I finally parted ways with her in 2004 when I moved.
|
My first car was a 1988 Blue Ford Topaz. It had no muffler, power windows, and I had to press on the brakes 2 miles before I came to a stop sign. *sigh* I miss that death trap...
|
First Car: 1995 Ford Mustang
Payment: I paid for it Was it everything I dreamed of: Yes. The name: When I first got it, Black Paradise When it got old: Death Trap [Hijack] Rita, do you know a lot of Kappas from Southern that crossed the 2001 line? You may know my homeboy really well. [/Hijack] |

Honda Accord EX Coupe 2000 Flamenco Black Pearl (for all you honda lovers) Whether your parents bought it or you paid for it yourself; ME! Was it everything that you dreamed? Bought it used in '04. It came with what I wanted : tint, alloys, moonroof w/ visor, spoiler + good mileage. :D Name: The Batmobile (she even has bat wings on her front window sticker) Was it rust bucket on wheels that simply got you from point A to point B??? Nope it is my first ride that I didn't have to share with anyone. If it can stop raining long enough, I can give her the first hand wash of the season + a good wax job (I have a buffer). This is the 4th honda for the family. My mom had an 86 and has a 97 accord and hubby has a 96 accord. |
Rita, check your PM.

Speaking of Benny (that's the Benny the Beamer)... I went to get my oil changed today on said car and apparently I have a MAJOR oil leak, or so tthey say. That has officially ruined my weekend!!! But at the same time I didn't notice any drips under my car... I swear those people are the BMW dealership are just trying to take my money!!! And I'm a female so they're probably laughing in the back... "She doesn't have a clue, well charge her like we fixed something!" Ugh! I hate being clueless about cars... Okay that's the end of my rant.

First car was a 1997 Teal Green Nissan Sentra. I didn't ask for a car, didn't hint at a car or anything. I just came home from work one day and my Dad handed me the keys. I was like "GET OUT!!!!!!". I named it the Green Bandit because I used to get into all kinds of drama in that car. I had that car until I graduated from college and got the FIN. If cars could talk, I would have been in trouble.:cool:
|
1995 BMW M3. It was my dad's. He gave it to me, and I still drive it. It's 12 years old and it still runs great!

My first car was a Toyota Corolla also! A red 95' that my mom bought for me, my senior year in undergrad. The car had 10K miles on her and my sister named her Betsy. My mom had my boyfriend drive it up to my school on the day of graduation. I drove it for the first time to my graduation dinner. :) I donated my car in 2003 when I bought my first new car, an '03 Acura. ;) -- |
My first car was a black 2001 Honda Civic LX coupe. I bought it in October 2003...2 months after getting my license. It was supposed to be a cheap learner car, but I decided to get something cute instead. I'm still driving "Blackie," as she is called, and have had no major problems with her. I do plan on upgrading in a couple years, though.

My first car was a '93 teal green Toyota Corrolla. I got it three months before I graduated from high school. Unfortunately, she had an untimely death during my sophmore year in college when someone with no insurance swerved into my lane and hit me head on!! She did not survive. But thank God that I did!!
