S/O What was your first car?

[Deleted]

Clearly, I have no motivation to do actual work today.

My first car was a 1988 white Toyota Corolla in 1998. No power anything, only had a radio, but it did have A/C!

[mbcdefg]

The first car that was all mine was a 1993 Chevrolet Beretta from my parents.

The first car I purchased by myself was a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport.

My first car was a 1985 Dodge Colt bought for me by my dad in 1991. It didn't have a/c, power anything, and had some sort of leak that fogged up the windows with a greasy residue - but I loved it anyway.

First car I drove regularly was a 1990 Pontiac LeMans that I shared with my brothers. I LOVED my rollerskate.

First car that was all mine was a 1996 Nissan Pickup. I am still sad that a suicidal deer took it out.

When I was a senior in high school (1994-95), my parents bought me a 1990 Honda Civic. I loved that car so much.

I posted a picture of it (well the model) in the other thread. It was a 1997 Ford Probe.

1985 Chrysler LeBaron hatchback.

My Probe's life was also ended by a deer.

It was a 1986 Audi S4000, bright cherry red. I think I inherited the car from my brother in 1995 who inherited from my dad who drove it after my mom had it for a couple years. It was a well driven car. It was awesome to have in high school, well other than the one driver's door handle that didn't work when it was cold (and we lived in Indiana)

That was supposed to be my first car too. My dad bought a totaled one super cheap, and it was stolen from his friend's garage/repair shop before they was able to get the title processed and everything registered in his name. So the old owner got the insurance $$ for it, and my dad's money (which was only a few hundred dollars but still).

I am mad on your dad's behalf that the friend did not give the money back.  I loved that car. 

[laurenpetro]

1989 Mercury tracer.

I know I'm not on this board but I loved that car so much I had to share.

[magdala]

1991 Plymouth Acclaim in white. I won't ever buy a white car again. I put 220,000 miles on it before a city dump truck took off the trunk and bent the farm badly.

Apparently I'm telling the story wrong. The friend was just the owner of the shop, not the owner of the car. The owner of the car was someone different - basically, the person was in an accident and the car was brought to my dad's friend's shop and instead of the car being repaired, it was totaled.. then stolen. How someone drove away with it, since it was totaled and all, I have no idea.

First car was a 1975 Ford Fairlane station wagon. Passed down to me.

First car I BOUGHT was a 1985 Nissan Sentra. I bought it in 1988.

[newmomnewjersey]

A gold, 1996 Saturn SC1.

[ssmjlm]

1992 Saturn SL2. It was pretty nice since it was my mom's, then my dad drove it, then they gave it to me. It was a manual and they were tired of commuting to DC in it.

I still miss having a manual car. One day I'll have one again.

[tine]

Ford Taurus and I loved it! My friends made fun of me for picking a taurus when I could have picked something a lot cooler

[crashgizmo]

1989 Suzuki Sidekick. I loved that car. 

[drloretta]

1971 Super Beetle. Except mine had gold hubcaps. 

ETA: First car I purchased for myself was a 1999 Honda Civic. I drove that puppy into the ground.

[msmerymac]

An electric blue 1994 Mercury Tracer, purchased in 2000. This isn't mine, but it looked a lot like this:



The interior was also blue. It had automatic seat belts, AC and a cassette player. Plus an after market remote starter. So fancy. It had about 74k miles when I bought it, and about 120k miles when I got rid of it, 6 years later. 

[rikki]

@mrsspunky That makes more sense. I was thinking "some friend" of his!

[perkyderky]

2000 honda civic. Red coupe. I loved that car!

[mie]

2002 Toyota Camry.

[pinkdutchtulips]

94 VW Jetta III that I bought in 98

I had just paid it off when some car nearly clipped me and I ended up totaling it into a tree

[womet]

A blue Chevy Celebrity station wagon.

[starburst]

Honda Civic, I think it was a 1997. I bought it used after I graduated from college.

[MrsDarcy]

1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This was in 1998. It was my aunt's old car that was not running when she gave it to me (I wanted it!). I bought a new engine using my own money (~$500) and I got new tires for my birthday (~$180).

[WOT?*]

That was mine-all-mine and mom couldn't take away? A 1977 Plymouth Volare. My grandma bought it for me from a friend of hers. Little old lady mobile. Sunshine yellow with a white vinyl landau top and "dog dish" rims.

Ohmigod I think I found my car!

[Deleted]

1984 Ford Tempo that I got for Christmas in 1999. It was my great grandma's car and my mom inherited it when grandma died. Mom then passed it along to me a few years later.

First car I bought was a 2001 Kia Rio that I bought in 2002. It was incredibly small but got great gas mileage. We sold it about six years ago and DH just sent me a pic last month when he saw it while driving around town.
