What was your first car?

[edesignuk]

I'd been working full time since leaving school at 16, so had time to save before I finally got my arse in gear and bovvered to learn at 18.

My first car was a 2002 Mini Cooper in Chilli Red/White, and I love/loved it!

Did something happen to that, or was it someone else's Mini?


I preferred your S2000.

I did crash it, ooooops, but it got repaired and I sold it last year.

I preferred your S2000.

So did I!

My first car was/is a 2002 Skoda Fabia
Hopefully I should be getting it back today or tomorrow. She's been at the garage all month after someone drove into it whilst it was parked

This WILL be my first car when I can pay the $500 my parents are selling it for. (and when i turn 16)

1990 Toyota Truck, or Hilux as some people call it. 215,000 miles now, still runs like a...well, like a Toyota.

Woah, no rust.

Usually old Toyoters like that have no sheet metal, just rust


My uncle had a really old 4x4 Toyota Pickup, the fuel level sensor died and he couldn't get a new part. He's pretty anal so he traded it in for a Tacoma. It was an 198x and it had no rust, pretty suprising.

it all depends on how you take care of them. my 1976 FJ-40 has no rust, neither does my 1990 pickup, like Cassie's.

In fact, older Rover's that I've seen have their own share of rust problems : )

1993 1.1 Peugeot 106.

Still got her, and still looks than damn good.

I unfortunately don't have a picture of it, but is was a P.O.S. 1991 Ford Fiesta Popular Plus with a 1.1litre CVH engine, 4 gears, manual choke, no power steering, no nothing!

Holy thread revival

1995 Pontiac Grand AM except mine was in black. Man I ****ing hated that car. Brakes were terrible and there was always something wrong with it. And I even bought it new. I hated it so much, what'd I do?, went out and bought 2003 Pontiac Grand AM. Again, what a P.O.S car. Both of 'em.

My first car was a 1978 Dodge Aspen. It was a four door land yacht that I got from my great grandmother in 2004. It only had 28k miles because she only used it to go to the grocery store, but it had problems. My assigned parking spot in high school was between a bmw and a lexus, and when we all got out of school i got some pretty funny looks when i had to put the key in the ignition and then get under the car with a screwdriver to start it

 

[Mr. McMac]

My first car was a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle I bought brand new for $1999. I remember that car fondly

'64 Ford Galaxie. Not anywhere near this good a shape. Got it for $100

Mine looked just like this, but this is not the one I had. Bought it at 170K miles for just over $2k, and it lasted for about a year. Everyone's first car is just a stepping stone to something better, right?

My first car was a 1972 Pontiac Le Mans. Got it in 1979. Wish mine looked this good.

 

[dmr727]

A red 1985 Honda Prelude. Bought it for an even grand between my freshman and sophomore year in college:

Good memories. One night I used the Dell headquarters parking lot to teach my then girlfriend how to drive stick.

Did you ever teach her how to drive a manual transmission?

1997 Pontiac Grand Am. Not my picture, but that's the same color.

What a piece of **** that car was. Wish I still had pictures of the accident that ended it's long, crappy life. Who knew hitting another car at approximately 5-10 MPH could cause that much damage

 

[dmr727]

Never - the Prelude was an automatic.

My first car was a 1949 Hudson Commodore. The first fastback! Huge mother. Bought it in 1965 for $40. When it started, it was a monster.

You got me for age of vehicle, but my first was a 1954 Pontiac 27-Series (American) with a monster straight-eight flat-head engine. Purchased her in 1960.

Looked something like this.

 

[einmusiker]

1980 Chevy Camaro sport coupe with High Performance 3-speed transmission

I loved that car even though the rear suspension was so rusted out it looked like a low rider in the back. Bought it in 1994 and ran like a champ until I loaded up the trunk with groceries and bottomed out going up hill the gas tank litterally fell off the car and I dragged it about 100 feet by the fuel line the fact that I had just filled the tank probably saved my life. How I lived through the 90's is unknown really

looked exactly like this but was white
