I had an '89 Buick Century in tan but it looked just like this - it lasted me all through college.

My first car was a 1982 Datsun 200sx which was a hand-me-down from my dad. A lot like this one except mine was red:


Then for college I had a 1993 Toyota Tercel, except mine didn't have that bar on the front (or the dents):

We called it the turtle It sadly met it's demise with someone who thought they could cross 4 lanes of traffic before I got there - they almost made it...

My first car was a 1980 Mazda RX-7. I bought it for $500 in 1994. It was a fun car to drive until I ran it out of oil.

My first car was a 198-something maroon Plymouth Turismo. My dad bought it used and rebuilt the engine. When he told me what it was I was like "A WHAT? What's a Turismo?" I drove that for a year and then my dad decided that it wasn't safe for me (the engine never did run reliably) so he got me a tan Toyotal Corolla 4 door. He bought it with 70,000 miles on it, put a newer engine in it (cause that one was about to "throw a rod", according to him), and I managed to put well over 100,000 miles on it. Man, there's some great memories I had with that car!!!

I kept it all through college and sold it my first year of grad school and bought a brand new Saturn SC2. I LOVED that car, then someone decided to T bone me in the drivers side...I guess she thought that red light in her turning lane overrode my green light. She totalled my car...bent the frame. Damn her!

After a year in a a 2001 Focus, I am now in a 2003 Saturn VUE and love it!

And that's my car story!

My first car was a 1994 Dodge Caravan. It was passed down from my parents to me. It was the biggest hunk of junk. It shook at 40 and 70. The side door didn't shut probably so it always dinged and the dome light stayed on till it finally burnt out. The power locks only worked to lock not unlock. The tape deck was all jacked up. I had an actual CD player hooked up to the cigarette lighter through an electrical converter and the speakers were underneath the front seats.

My parents sold it about a year ago... I was so sad...
