Your Very First Car....

[accrete]

1971 Honda 600 Coupe in blue... i loved that car!
64mpg and drove like a go-kart (and not much bigger)

A Red 1964 Mercury Comet when I was 16 in 1973. It looked pretty close to this car here.

An 88 Chevy Spectrum. Like the one pictured, but with like 200k and visibly battered. No mirrors, or anything fancy like speakers, hubcaps, or HVAC. Bought for a couple of hundred, ran for about a month (1,000mi) and the brake lines disintegrated. I loved that car.

You got 64 miles per gallon in that car?
Holy smokes that's awesome. Now I want one. Doesn't look to bad either.

Shit Carol, that's a hot car! My first was an '87 Toyota Tercel Station Wagon... You could drive those things up a tree but they wouldn't do it fast

1990 Dodge Caravan not mine but its the right color.

I drove everywhere since it sat 7 legally and about 22 illegally . Drove it till the wheels fell off then bought my exploder (same scenario)

1965 Ford Anglia 105E deluxe.

I drove a 95 Plymouth Neon after I graduated high school that looked exactly like this:

It was the biggest POS I've had the displeasure of owning. AC never worked, power steering failed intermittently, horn failed, and interior bits simply fell off. The only thing that worked properly was the motor, everything else was utter crap.

She got me from point A to B and I'm thankful for that. I sold her after two years and the car burned down on the highway due to electrical issues. Good riddance.

my first was a 1976 Mazda rotary pick-up that ran super sweet right up until it threw the rotor late one night in '81, Loved that little beast.

Most of you had way nicer cars than I did..except for Deja Vu.

Technically my first car. It was purchased from my cousin's great grandmother and it performed like a grannies vehicle. Built like a tank ands grossly under powered I did managed to get it going fast enough to roll it over. My brother finished it off by driving it in to a tree while I was away at basic training a few years later. The coupe version actually looks pretty bad ass with the right accessories.

I found my first love on a street corner, outside of a 7-11, with a for sale sign in the window. She was $700 and was green with a black top, 390 engine, and after-market AC unit hanging under the dash. I loved the fact that there were NO B-pillars in that car so when you rolled the windows down the whole side was open. Worked great until I drove through as swarm of bees one time but THAT is another story for another thread . . .
