Your first car
Ok what was everyone's first car? Some of them I'm sure are embarassing (mine) some awesome but thought it might be fun. Ok here we go:

Thats awesome, not embarrassing
here was mine
it had different hub caps though
The first car I ever RODE in was the first car my parents bought new, my dad was stationed in Germany, he drove an old Ford Pinto, when my mom got pregnant with me they bought a new 1982 Volvo 240 GL, dad even went to Sweden to pick it up from the factory. I wish I had that car today
Ths is the Turbo version bit its pretty much the same car looks wise, it had different wheels

Re: Your first car
A red '65 Mustang. Bought it in 1975 for $200 and drove the absolute SHIT out of it. Sold it a couple years later when I got married.
Wish I still had the car.
Glad the ex is an ex.

Re: Your first car
Car I drove in high school was a dark green, 1984 Renault Alliance stick. It had no AC and only had an AM radio.
First car I bought was a 1990 Honda CRX. That thing was amazing and I wish I still had it

Re: Your first car
First car I had in 1989 was the family hand me down. 6 acccidents within a 3 month period. It was dead,
First new car we bought in 1999 was this. It was forest green and plenty of room in the back for the child set for The Boy.

"The first one that I bought was a Mustang #2"
That line always makes me smile, (and cringe just a little).
Mine was a '76. Trunk and backseat so small, my bass had to ride shotgun

Re: Your first car
everyone knows the finest ride of all time is the 1981 Dodge Diplomat. In light blue, with a leather roof...and a bumper sticker that says "Lefties Have Rights Too.") Best $300 I've ever spent.

And, in this case, bought in Wisconsin. My family traded in their powder blue AMC half-wagon for the Renault. Nothing like going on family driving vacations in a shitty sub-compact car that can barely maintain 55mph uphill

Re: Your first car
'86 Dodge Charger. When I had a minor accident with this car, my buddies and I bought some spray paint the night it happened, and ended up putting the Van Halen "VH" on the hood. Got home quite late that night, and my dad was PISSED. More that I had had an accident and didn't come home right away. We then spray painted the whole thing black and put white racing stripes on it a la "Melba Toast" from Dazed and Confused. Somehow, the spray paint lasted all winter, and until I sold it.
I'm only human, though I'm super at times.

I'm sure it was a pretty expensive option. Now I don't think you can but a car in the states that doesn't have it

Re: Your first car
My first was a '63 Ford Galaxie four door with a 352 V8.
Just like Andy and Barney's squad car (during the '63 season anyway), except it was all white and didn't have a si-reen:
I loved that car. RIP.

Re: Your first car
1970 Buick La Sabre, 451 engine with a cracked heat riser!!! We named him Al D'Buick. He was fckn ALSUM!!!!
so what is it like living with your mommy again BWAHAHAHAHAH
Re: Your first car
a brown 79 Toyota Corolla disgustingly similar to the one pictured above, except it was a 2 door. She was a 4-speed with a manual choke, roll down windows, no AC, a crappy radio, etc. The rubber around the stick shift was all ripped so you could actually see the ground below rushing by as you drove. Finally replaced her after about 110,000 miles in 1990. She was a beauty, god bless her.

Hated that f'n car. killed the clutch once and rolled backwards down a hill. You couldn't do donuts for shit in it either.

Re: Your first car
Ya know, I thought about it later and actually that truck in my avatar was my first car. Grandpa gave it to me when I was in High school, but none of us trusted it enough to be my actual daily car, hence the Mustang.

Re: Your first car
1978 Mercury Zephyr - hand me down from my great grandparents...in 1996.
Only drove it for about three months before I'd saved up enough to buy a '92 Chevy S10. Same color combo as below, but mine was definitely in better shape.
