What was your first RIDE???

#1 03-22-2007, 07:59 PM

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.

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!!

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.

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!

I have a 2000 323i black/tan. I love it. I'm sure I don;t have to tell though that maintenance costs are a BEAST!!! Have you had any major maintenance issues with your car??? I recently had to replace my power steering pump, twice. Apparently this is common place in BMWs that are my make/model/year...
