What was your first car?

[bonz]

1988 Grand Voyager: learned to drive in this thing, hauled lots of shit, but a total pig on gas; electrical system died in 2002 while my brother was driving it, went to junkyard that would tow for free

1988 Ford Festiva: learned stick, had stupid driving fun, enjoyed its go-kart like non-powered steering; sold for $500 in 2001

1997 Mitsubishi Mirage DE Coupe: bought for $1500 from Truly Nolen, so it was yellow and had paint missing where they clipped off the ears and tail; drove it through college, was nice because nobody wanted to ride in a disgusting econobox with no AC, traded with my brother who was starting college when I got a job; head gasket went earlier this year, scrapped for $250


1997 Mitsubishi Mirage LS Sedan: in the family for ten years now, still runs, AC works, ugly, but I don't drive enough for replacing a working car to make sense.

201x VW GTI: when the silver car dies. I hope they bring the Fahrenheit Orange color to the US soon.

1996 Silverado. My step dad still has it. Gas got too high for me to afford for it so I traded it to him for his daughters 2004 Jetta... she got a Pathfinder.

1970 Cougar XR-7 with 351 4V Cleveland, and really wish I still had it.

My first car was a 2004 or 5 Acura MDX that I got from my parents, had it for like 7 months then they sold it to my neighbor and that money went to my 2005 V6 Mustang. That was really my first car, the Acura was just my parents that I drove. Then I got rid of the mustang in July, after 3 years, for the GTI.

How can people have an 11 GTI when its only 2010?

In the US market, model years start very early; I think the 2011 GTIs started being available in the US in June or July.

One of my friends got his 2011 Mustang in May of 2010.

I'm really dating myself when I say that it was a new 1962 English Ford Cortina (the first year it came out). White with red interior. Later I bought a GT Cortina, and finally a Lotus Cortina before I began a brief muscle car phase ('69 Roadrunner Hemi). Never had a used car in all my years of car buying... never leased one either.

Photo is not the actual car, but is identical.

1988 Volvo 240 DL station wagon....built like a tank and drove like one ! Hand me down from my parents which ended up being passed down to my sister 4 yrs later when she learned how to drive. Think it ended up with about 200k miles, too bad the repairs outweighed the value of the car, otherwise i think she would have kept it.

1980 Toyota Supra with real wood steering wheel and trim...It was 10 years old when I got it! White with blue interior. The Alpine audio I put in it was worth more than the car. Good times....
