What was your first car?

[ken0042]

My first car was a 1977 Pontic Astre.

However to answer Fotze's question, that would be my 1984 Trans Am. All the gin in the world can't compete with being 18 and having a pretty new Trans Am. (well, back in the 80's anyways.)

I got my first vehicle in 1994. It was a 81 Jeep CJ-7

1979 VW Scroccajunk, similar to this one except it was rustish red

My first car was a 1984 Chev Chevette - all of the cool kids in my school (small town Manitoba) owned Chevettes, Acadians or whatever the Dodge version was of those cars. How I ended up in the "cool crowd" was beyond me.

First car is the same car I own now (240SX). But the car I learned to drive on was this beauty (except red):


A Peugot 106. It had a 1.0L engine and 4 speed manual transmission. Top speed was about 120km/h, and that's only if I was going downhill.

Years ago, a friend of mine told me that his dad bought him a brand-new 'Vette. I knew his family had some bucks, so I scrambled outside to have a look.

He thought he was pretty funny..........it was a Chevette, not a Corvette.

Man... My sister had a cheesevette and I loved the thing. By that time, I had graduated to an almost new Dodge Dynasty AKA "The Nasty", but I shared an apartment with my sis and almost every day I had to twist her rubber arm to let me drive the vette. 5speed, RWD... Loved driving that thing. Especially in the winter.

The first car i purchased was a 1989 Hyundai Excel. Unfortunatly it never made it home, put a stop check on the my check and towed the car back to the owners place. I was told the car leaked a small amount of oil (like a liter ever month, but it completley leaked out on the highway travelling back home.

1978 Camaro, aka The Great White Shark

[Jagger]

Fiat 126.

Now that was one small car. Great for parking though, especially in the UK. I owned this one with my mother. The first one I owned by myself was a Vauxhall Viva.

1977 Honda Civic (or affectionately the #####vic). The passenger door would not stay closed (held in place with bungy cord)

At the time I wasn't all that thrilled about the '82 Volvo 240 my dad bought me, but looking back it was the perfect car for a 16 your old: slow as molasses and very safe. Still drive a Volvo to this day, although (thankfully) a little nicer than that old '82.

I could tell stories about an old girlfriend and her '74 Ford LTD.

The station wagon version had the most room

'82 Camaro Z28 was my first car...answers the second part as well. T-roofs and all. Late 80's were good to me.... and no there was no mullett.

First vehicle, and first to get laid in was a '93 GMC Sierra ext.cab 4x4. It was a lot of fun, but having the ability to go off-road any time as a 16 yr old got me into a bit of trouble the odd time, lol. Truck was only four years old when I got rid of it and could barely run anymore. Good times, good times!

Next truck I owned was a Ford F-150 and that thing took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. Loved that one.

[The Yen Man]

The first car I ever got to drive was a 97 Accord V6 back when I first got my license. I finally bought my own car this year, the 2007 Civic SI. Nothing crazy, but I'm proud of it, just cuz I paid all the money for it myself.
