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.

DA, those cars are TOO cute.

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

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 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.

'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:
