Lessee...
First car was my mother's 1980 Chevy Malibu Classic four-door; served me well in college and while I was waiting to report for basic training in the Air Force.
After getting out, bought a 1983 Ford Escort. Piece of shit car. Later got a 1987 Toyota Corolla, but when I lost my job it got repossessed.
Then got a 1989 Eagle Premier... lesson learned in buying a car without seriously checking it... Gawd, that was an even worse POS.
Bought my first Thunderbird (a 1995 LX V8) used, then lost it in a weather-related wreck. Then bought a 1998 Mustang V6, wrecked that as well, currently back to a 1997 Thunderbird LX V8.

I drove a 1999 Honda Accord for a few months when I first got my license and we were still car shopping for me.
Then I got a 1999 Eclipse in silver which I loved more than anything until I realized it was a piece of shit. The brakes went bad, it wouldn't go up hills well(which sucks in WV), I had bad rotors and one of the tires just wouldn't keep air in it.
So about 2 months ago I got a new 2003 Eclipse Sypder in black and now it's all pimp with my Delta Gamma sticker

1st car-2000 Acura Integra- silver - my first pride and joy. my dad bought it right after high school graduation. i only had the car for 6 months in the year 2000. my dad had just got out of the hospital and was unable to drive for awhile. he was also living in ocala and gainesville. so i had to make constant trips from jacksonville to be there for him. my dad felt bad cause i put 17,000 on the car in 6 months. so we traded it in.
2nd car- 2001 Toyota Celica- dark blue I got this car in December of 2000. i adored this car. it also became the source for a number of traffic tickets. i had this car almost three years. a lot of life changing moments happened to me while i had this car. the car soon became the source of bad memories. driving the car became a terrifying experience. so i finally got to get rid of it
3rd car- 2004 Honda Accord - silver i got this car in October of 2003. i LOOOOOVE this car. i love taking care of this car. it makes me feel wonderful when i drive it. it is loaded with all kinds of amazing things. the car is 8 months old and it still smells brand new. i hope this car stays around for a long time. lol...my dad does too.
i know i am spoiled. i went through three brand new cars in 4 years.

High School- '89 Grand Am, red w/grey trim, a.k.a "Gredel"- loved this car  Because it was a crappy car, I could do anything to it and the parents wouldn't get too upset...lol...I never knew this car could be ramped so well
In College- '94 Plymouth Sundance, dark pinkish, "The Clit Mobile" (NOT my idea...) - Great little car for to-and-from the school, good gas milage, never have had much trouble. Plus, it was given to my by my favorite older sister as a graduation gift from high school.
Out College- '97 GMC Jimmy, marroon w/silver trim, "The Truck"- I only drive this when I'm not in school due to the gas milage and it'll get banged up if I park it at the school. This is my baby

1st car: 1980 Mazda RX-7. I paid $500 for it and drove this all through high school. I loved this car...it was so sporty and fun to drive. That is, until I blew out the engine.
2nd car: 1986 Ford Thunderbird. I loathed this car. I had nothing but problems with it. It had a moonroof that wouldn't open and leaked when it rained. The passenger window wouldn't roll down. The power locks wouldn't work. The lining of the roof was coming off. One time I had to put the belt back on 3-4 times just to get home from someone's house (all of 5 miles). I traded it in.
3rd car: 1999 Ford Ranger. This is the first new car I bought and paid off myself. I loved this truck. It ran great and I never had any problems with it. Plus I loved being a girl with a truck  . I actually sold it yesterday.
4th car: 2004 Honda Civic EX. Hopefully I will love this car as well. I love that its an automatic, power everything, moonroof, cd etc. Plus, its supposed to get awesome gas mileage.

1989 Buick Century - amazingly dependable, but ugly as hell... and I had it until the fall of 2002 - too bad it never had air conditioning the entire time.
1999 Mazda 626 ES - I love my Mazda and will run it into the ground, I'm sure. My old car got better mileage but I also used to drive longer distances. When your roundtrip commute is less than 6 miles a day - I doubt anything is going to get good mileage.

'92 Pontiac Grand Am--this was my first car, and I got it for Christmas my junior year of high school. It was red (my favorite car color of all time) with grey interior, but it only had a tape player. I had a cute little license plate on the front of it that had my initials spelled out in those nautical symbols--remember those?--but unfortunately, the plate (along with the front end of the car) got shattered to bits when I rear-ended this little b*tch I went to school with at a stoplight one morning. It was foggy, my brakes needed working on, and...well, I'm sure you can imagine.
'93 Dodge Dakota--I loved this truck! My parents got it for me as a high school graduation present shortly after the untimely demise of my Grand Am, and I never had any trouble with it whatsoever. I actually still have it, but it's sort of become the family farm truck since I got my other car. It's red, with grey interior, no power anything but it has a CD player which came in really handy for entertainment when I was dating my ex in Ohio and I had to drive there every other weekend. I really miss that truck now that I'm in town, but I'm sure my stepdad is taking good care of it.
'04 Dodge Neon--this is my new car. I bought it myself, so even though it's only a Neon I treat it like a Bentley because I'm making the payments, dammit. It's black, with grey interior, CD player, power windows (this is awesome, because my truck had the kind you have to roll down), and that's about it...but I really like it now that gas is $2 a gallon because it gets really good mileage.

1989 Dodge Omni -This was my very first car and I LOVED it to death!! It was red but the two front doors were both brown. I wanted something to drive to school so bad, since I was literally the last person in my class to start driving, I didn't get my license until my senior year of HS. I begged and begged for a car and this is what I got until the muffler went bad and to have it fixed would have cost more than what the car was worth. So I then got a . . .
1994 Geo Tracker -The problem with this car was the it was a stick, which I can't drive. My uncle tried to teach me how, but it was no use. So my mom ended up with the car and I got a . . .
1998 Mercury Mountaineer -This car was my grandma's before she passed. Since it was still under lease my grandfather told me I could keep it until the lease was up. When the lease was up it was traded for a . . .
2001 Mercury Cougar -which I LOVED when I first got it but it has been nothing but a pain for the past 3 1/2 years. Luckily, I'm getting a new car this fall, a 2005 Mercury Mariner.

1993 Chevy Beretta--eh, ok car I guess. Too bad I totalled it.
1989 Subaru GL--I grew really attached to this little car...but...it leaked transmission fluid like CRAZY, the air conditioning blew up (literally), and then it just died while I was in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in town.  So, that did it.
1997 Mercury Tracer--what I now drive, and have driven for about a year and a half. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car. It leaks no fluids, it drives nicely, is very comfortable, roomy, gets good mileage, and I'm convinced it must be indestructable!! I backed up and hit a pole outside of Petco...and I hit it HARD...and it did NOTHING to my car. Then, waiting to turn out of Wal-Mart a few weeks ago, a lady rearended me...and all it did was shake the dust off the bumper! LOL I would HIGHLY recommend this car to anyone; it was pretty inexpensive (I got it for $3500), and it's just a great car.
