My mom drove a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda (white) when I was a kid. When she got a new car (the same year I started driving), my dad took it.... and drove it into a tree one foggy morning several years later. He was fine, but the car was totaled,

The first car I ever drove was my mom's 1997 Chevy Cavalier, back when I was 14-16 years old with no license

Theme: What was your first car?

WELL - Got to admit a couple of things . . .

1) Never ever had a brand new Car - EVER ! ! !

2) Parents never ever gave "Me" a Car . . .

3) All Vehicles - I had were the ones that were on there last legs and what "We" use to call $50 specials . . . Which meant that when they broke down and could no longer be fixed for a few bucks - they were left on the side of the road . . .

4) The first car I ever bought outright for cash was the "tank" for $400.00 from the School Nurse which I gave to "My" mother as a Christmas Present in 1971 that looked like this . . .

Theme: What was your first car?

Can't really remember the last car I had before I moved into NYC (where of course I didn't need one, thankfully since it DIED), but it was a Sedan similar to this one . . .

Which is the last car I had for over 10 years, until 1986 . . .

The first stick shift I ever drove was a Jeep, it belonged to one of my Uncle's friends, and he was teaching me how to drive it. I have no idea what year it was, but it looked a lot like this one...

My first car was purchased at the young age of 18. It was 2500 miles away from me when I actually purchased it from my grandmother's neighbor. As a birthday gift they repainted the car to the original color (thier son had repainted it a few times for his auto body repair training) and put on a set of new tires.

The car only had 100k miles. Its a 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual transmission. Only electronic in the car is radio/cd player. I love it. Paid 2 grand for it, then ~50 in gas driving it home. If I didn't love the car so much, i would of sold the car a week after transferring the title into my name for 3x what I paid when I was offered.

The car still runs fine and is approaching 175k miles. It taught my sisters and a few friends to drive stick. Its had no issues other than one quirk. About once a month or so it decides its not living up to its name and demands to be driven like a stolen sports car. If I don't my mpg tanks, and it gives random check engine errors ( like low tire pressure, or faulty tire pressure sensors when it does not even HAVE those sensors.

The car is a 2002 saturn SL. Sports Luxury. It demands that I drive it like a sports once in a while.

And before I was old enough to drive, an older friend always picked the gang up to go to school every day in one of these.

My first car I had outside US - KIA Concord 1995 at Korea

Those were all over the place when I was stationed there. I put a telephone pole through one.

First stick shift I ever drove was a jeep too! It was O.D. Green!
I fell in love with those old beaters. You could drive them anywhere and get in to some very precarious spots. They are not aero dynamic or anything, but they do fly. But, thats a long story over a few beers!

Okay, now what do we do for the rest of the week once we identified our first cars?

80 Chevy truck - 1st and only full sized pickup I've owned - was originally the same color as the pic but by the time I bought it in 96 it was quite beat up and faded. Put it to real good use for the 2 years I was stationed at Quantico.

How many kids could you hide in the pinto when you went to the drive-in?

Since I did not have the rear side panel windows, I could do 8. Did not do that often once my girlfriend realized how much room was in the back, and we started going to the Drive In alone. Her dad hated that car.

Is it just me or does it seem to everyone that many of the first cars pictured, if they were polished up nice today, restored a bit, would be better retirement savings than our 401K's......
