Remembering Your First New Car

I'm selling my first new car Friday, teardrop.
lulu is a 2007 ford focus, kiwi green. I love her, but it would cost entirely too much to ship and a waste to put her in storage.

Aww, I love her too, pouty sadface.

Congrats on the new wheels, flirt5721.

My first new car was a '99 Buick Regal. DH and I drove that puppy into the ground - 130K miles in nine years.

My first brand new car, I was beginning my senior year and I got a 2006 Honda Civic Si with 0.2 miles on the odometer and drove it off the showroom floor.

When I finished my first semester of college, I decided I no longer wanted a ricer because the idea of owning one no longer appealed to me.

So I traded it in on a brand new 2007 Ford F-150. It's 10000000000000000 times better.

oh, that's nothing! My first new car is my 02 Trailblazer (first year model) and I love it! I got it in 2001 and it has over 190,000 miles. Needless to say, I drive at least 90 miles a day to work and back. I'm happy to say it gets about 20 mpg.

Before that, I had a 1987 Jeep Cherokee and someone decided to total it for me. I was so sad! We got that car when I was 10 and it went to car heaven when it was 15. That was my college car. In high school, I had the grey honda accord that everyone seemed to have in the early 90's. I really liked it, but it had alignment issues and ate up tires.

My first four cars were all used. I am now driving our first "new" car- a Saturn Ion. Bought mainly to get me to and from work with a little room in the back for one or two car seats. Getting all 5 of us in it would be difficult if not impossible.

I wish they made sedans that got good gas mileage AND had enough room for three car seats in the back.

I LOVED my first new car. It was a 1982 blue Honda Accord. It was sitting in the parking lot with a big red bow on it on my Sweet Sixteen. I was so happy.

That car never had a thing wrong with it and got great gas mileage. I still miss it.

You've obviously never seen my husband drive. The Buick was primarily his car; at the time, I drove an Acura that I inherited from my mother when she stopped driving. That Buick has been in more accidents than I like to think about...
