The first car I bought was a used 1985 Nissan pulsar, red with Gray interior and a sunroof... I loved that car, and totaled it with only 2 payments left.... Lots of good memories of that car!

The first car I owned was a 1986 Buick Century. It was BROWN. The thing was a tank. Driver's side front door wouldn't open from the inside, dents galore... and it came with a t-shirt. We were doing some sort of work on the engine, and I saw a weird blob in the back. My dad pulls it out, and it was a dirty ratty old stained t-shirt.

He should have put it back. Car kept having more and more problems after the removal. I miss that car. I cried when I drove it to the guy I sold it to.

my first car was a truck. it was a 91 chevy S-10 that i payed $900 for in 1998. it was a really good looking truck but it seemed like i was working on it every other week.i worked 2 summers with my uncle to pay for it and it only ran about a year. this was my first lesson on buying other peoples problems.i finally sold it 2 years after i got it for $600 and i remember being so happy it get rid of it

The first car I ever BOUGHT was a 2001 Toyota Echo.

Loved the gas mileage on that thing, then again gas was only like $1.25 then....

I have an Echo now & love it! I'm planning on keeping it until it goes kaput :)

I didn't own a car until shortly before my 24th birthday. Never needed one prior to that since I had lived in places where I could walk anywhere I needed to go on a regular basis.

The first car I ever bought was an '82 Chrysler Cordoba, brown on brown. I never actually got to drive it, though. $600 was the price tag and after putting another $600 into it it was still uninspectable. Would have had to dump as much again into it as we already had, so it went away and I wound up with an '01 Chevy Prism, instead. I would have rather had the Cordoba, but at least it was something to get me from point A to point B. I got almost 6 years out of it before the engine seized up without any warning . . .

A 1979 Pontiac TransAm with the big Olds engine. Dark blue metallic .

I loved that car and it was fast.......which is why I have said they should have named a highway after me with all the speeding tickets I had to pay for.
Exactly why I got rid of my Camaro...how do you NOT speed in some cars? :laugh:

Exactly!!!!!!! It really was impossible. When I went looking I was actually looking for a truck but when I saw the TransAm I just had to test drive it and when it slammed me back in the seat when I accelerated, I knew it was going to me mine. Not even a second thought to a different vehicle.

Truth............I had a speeding ticket within two hours of buying it. lmao.

My first car was a 76 vega green from the back of doors forward and primer grey back. It had 4 seats but was made for two people. It got me through high school, but it sat so low to the ground I ripped the exaust off every other day. I think I spent more time putting the exaust back on then I did in class.
