The very first one i drove was an early 90's mini toyota tacoma stick shift...not the best experience, but my first daily driver was a 66 mustang coupe...great car if you can sacrifice some time to working on it.

The 66 mustang looks like a great car; it must have taken you a lot of time to build.

mine ran when i got it, it needed body work and paint, a new heater and stuff like that, but i didn't have to pull then engine or anything, the carburetor was what caused most of my problems, i worked at an auto shop for quite a few years, i wouldn't suggest something that old for most people's first car, especially if you want to drive very much. I didn't finish the thing completely before gas cost and insurance got me and i got rid of it. I went to an Acura CL, which is another great car, fun to drive, reliable (honda guts), and easy to take care of.

1969 VW Bus and 1981 Toyota Celica GT. I bought the bus when I was 15 and the celica when I turned 16 as my daily driver. Neither one lasted long unfortunately. I had a lot of fun in that van and now know that if I ever have kids they will not own one.

1990 Ford Probe GL manual. $600. Red, orange, and pink... depending on what body panel. Car was a tank, took jumps like a champ.

1986 Chrysler Laser/Dodge Daytona. I drove the hell out of it and loved the car until the turbocharger went out on it. It may have been mid-80's American junk, but it had more character than almost anything on the road today.

1994 Ford Probe SE, i sold it because i spent too much money on it and forgot to swap the computers, i kick myself everyday for how stupid i was then.

Now i am looking for a Ford Probe GT to fix up and use as my own car. I have had the worst of luck learning to drive a stick, but i will hunker down and learn in a heart beat for a Probe GT.

I turned 50 today and my first car I was bought was a 1968 GTO 400 4 speed that had a screwed un tranny the owner thought. I paid $325 for it at 16 and my dad thought it would take forever to get running. I took a look at the clutch linkage and found out the Z bar was had cracked and wouldn't let the clutch disengage. Cost: $32
Cost to my dad: toooooo many gray hairs.
After fixing it I had a few friends come over and push start it and floored it....Smoke everywhere and I found out whoever took the tranny out put the linkage in wrong 2 & 4 were where 1 &3 should have been. After a simple swap it was mayhem!!!! I boiled the tires off of it many times and after getting warned by the po po and dad getting even more frustrated by how people told him how I drove it, I was forced to sell it.....It was actually a blessing, I probably would have been dead in a year....I was too immature for a car like that.

1994 Toyota Celica ST Liftback Auto was my first car i shared with my brother for a year. After he graduated high school, he took the car and I bought a 1997 Civic HX 5-speed manual for $200. spent <$2000 to bring it back to life and flipped it for $4800 shortly after I graduated high school :)

81 Cutlass Supreme was the first one I actually put on the road. It had a 267 V-8 2 barrel and a 200 metric tranny. Gold with quarter vinyl roof. That car was LARGE, inside and out. My friends and I called her the "Cut-Louche" because working on her was as easy as driving her. The front seats were as comfortable as sitting in a lazy boy and the back seat was as big and comfortable as a couch. I could steer it with nothing but my pinky finger.
She guzzled gas in the city (I drove with the hammer down or te brakes to the floor- nothing in between, ahh to be 18 again) but practically breathed fumes on the Highway. I drove over 500Km average of about 140Km/H and it took 1 quarter of a tank! I'd love to have that car or one just like it for trips out west (work)

My first car:
1978 Camaro Type LT/Z/28 Tribute. As a matter of fact I still have it. I'll attach a picture of what it looks like today.

Very proud of this car, I've worked very hard to get it and keep it.

Ah, yes. The interior isn't exactly visible in my picture. The blue seatbelt matches the blue interior.

2001 v6 silver Pontiac Grand Am Coupe. It looked pretty at the time. Within 2 years, the aesthetic & mechanical flaws of the car was way too clear to me.... Then again, I was very fortunate to have a first car as a teen.

Wow that's a Flashback :) 
I drove our House Car/Family car , Used to be driven by everybody in the house .
It was an Opel Kadett 1993 GSI Version , with a 1.6S engine . Drove it for almost a year until my brother wrecked it doing 100+ miles :) 
Thankfully he is alive .

Get a cheap car that is good on gas (Honda Civics, corrollas) . You get to clean your driving while saving $ on gas. Buying a new car or finance is not a smart move. Good luck

2005 Honda Civic. Still driving it after 2 years but am looking to upgrade to a latest-gen, but a few years under belt, Nissan Maxima.

My first car was an '07 Civic. I still drive it today and love every minute of it! Oh and the MPG is so nice. :D

My first lovable car was Mercedes Benz which I bought from second selling. It was a car i was more passionate about!

First car was a 1995 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

Yes, a Police Interceptor. It had the decals on the side and everything. Won it at a state auction for only $300 dollars. I had to remove the decal with a heat gun to make it street legal, but other than that, that car had POWER. And the suspension was modified and excellent.

Fun first car. It also came with stab proof steel plating in the driver and passenger seats! And the barricade that separated the front from the backseat. Removed that though.

First 'car' was a 2000 F250. 4 doors and long bed. I got it cheap at an auction, then sold it a few months later for profit. Was nice and wasn't lifted or anything so it was easy to get into (I don't like having to slide-fall into a car, prefer to step into it). But the turning radius was terrible, granted it was a 24 ft long truck- city driving was painful.

Toyota Corolla 09 in manual. brand new. everything is manual including the windows. only thing automatic was the lights.. I like turning on the lights ... I hate automatic lights!
