PIP Your First Car

[luvmagoldn]

What was your first car? One you bought yourself?


Mine was a 1992 Honda Civic (like the one in the pic). It had manual transmission and I didn't know how to drive it. I bought it because it was cheaper than the automatic. My brother had to come to the dealership and drive the car home for me. He then spent the afternoon teaching me how to drive it.

It was a 1993 Nissan NX2000.

I freaking loved that car.

1999 toyota corolla!!! I loved that car! I just sold it a few months ago after driving it for 9 years!

I have never bought a car for myself.
My first car, a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2, my parents bought for me.
I got rid of it less than 2 months ago.


DH bought the car I currently drive (2005 Subaru Impreza WRX) before we started dating. My parents gave us a hand-me-down 1997 Ford Taurus about a year and a half ago.

1996 Ford Probe. Mine looked just like this but it was silver. I loved that car!

Red 1997 Ford Escort Lx. My parents bought it for me brand new for my 16th birthday. I thought it was the coolest car ever. Since I was the only one of my friends to get a brand new car, I thought I was pretty awesome.

I drove it for 6 years. Even now, if I see one on the road, I miss it a little. I had the BEST DMB stickers on it ;D

A 1996 Nissan Sentra - though mine was a very deep purple.

I'd have to dig up an old yearbook to find my first car. I was voted worst car for the girls, hah! It was 2003 and I got a 1989 Ford Escort hatch back, navy blue. Kinda like this (from Google images) but mine was a 4 door, and had a huge dent in the back door.


That was a gift from my dad. After that I was gifted a car after college, a '94 Ford Tempo, which was red except it was faded from the sun so it was a weird tomato color. Then I got a $200 Nissan Sentra.. don't remember what year but that lasted less than a year. Then I bought our current car, a 2007 Nissan Altima. So happy to have a new-ish car for once. I love it.

My parents bought me this car when I turned 16. 1984 Honda Accord. I was lucky, it had air conditioning. My brother's did not.

This is DH's current car, hahahhaa.

It wasn't a bad car. It lasted a good long while for me and served its purpose - getting me to and from school for the rest of HS and college - plus a few more years beyond that. Can't complain! (Though I can't say she wasn't a POS for the past ~3 years)

81 Mercury Zephyr. Paid $300, had him for 5 years. I hot glued Mona Lisa fabric to the ceiling and I painted him bright blue. I loved that car.

I seriously loved this car and this picture does not do justice to it's lovely teal color. 1993 Cavalier that was gifted to me after my Freshman year of college. I drove it for 7.5 years.

First car I had to myself was a 1993 Chevrolet Beretta that my dad had bought for himself, since his car died and he needed a cheap car fast. I drove it about 5 years, then my sister and brother used it until it died.



First car I bought for myself was a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport:



Then I started working in NYC and took trains, so I gave it to my dad. MH has a Centra and I drive that if I need to go somewhere.

This is the exact color, except mine had about half of the paint and it randomly died at stop lights. Thankfully I wrecked it two months later!
