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???

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!

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...

Rita, do you know a lot of Kappas from Southern that crossed the 2001 line? You may know my homeboy really well.

Hmmm... I do remember watching those boys (2001) probate when they came out on Tha Yard... I did know several Kappas but most of them came out before then. Your friend got a name?

Skeeliteful, didn't you love her!

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.

Yes, "Blackie" is very cute and she's a good girl.

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.
