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?

What is the first car you owned? (Make, Model, Year, Color)

Honda Accord EX Coupe 2000 Flamenco Black Pearl (for all you honda lovers)

Whether your parents bought it or you paid for it yourself; ME!

Was it everything that you dreamed?

Bought it used in '04. It came with what I wanted : tint, alloys, moonroof w/ visor, spoiler + good mileage.

Name: The Batmobile (she even has bat wings on her front window sticker)

Was it rust bucket on wheels that simply got you from point A to point B???
Nope it is my first ride that I didn't have to share with anyone. If it can stop raining long enough, I can give her the first hand wash of the season + a good wax job (I have a buffer).

This is the 4th honda for the family. My mom had an 86 and has a 97 accord and hubby has a 96 accord.

Rita, check your PM.

Speaking of Benny (that's the Benny the Beamer)... I went to get my oil changed today on said car and apparently I have a MAJOR oil leak, or so tthey say. That has officially ruined my weekend!!! But at the same time I didn't notice any drips under my car... I swear those people are the BMW dealership are just trying to take my money!!! And I'm a female so they're probably laughing in the back... "She doesn't have a clue, well charge her like we fixed something!" Ugh! I hate being clueless about cars... Okay that's the end of my rant.

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...

So far I haven't. Just regular maitenance. When my dad bought it new, he pampered it,

so maybe that may be why. I've heard horror stories about BMWs, but so far I haven't encountered any.

Is yours a manual or automatic? Mine's a stick, but I wish it was an automatic.

It automatic, I can't drive a stick to save my life, yeah I've heard some stories too but all in all it's a reliable vehicle if you take care of it!!!!
