What is your first car?

[Kolimo]

Hello, I'm starting my first driving lesson on the 23rd and I was thinking about first cars. What were the first car you guys drove?

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.

 

[No2rdame]

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.

 

[Nafryti]

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.

My first car I still have. It's a 2006 GT automatic ford mustang.

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)

92 Probe GT.

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.

 

[theProbe]

Very nice camaro.

[Beachnative]

[Feninthro]

Very nice camaro.
But that blue seat belt?

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

 

[Frank005]

My first car is BMW M4

 

[EthanPark]

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.
