LOL. I remember that my first car used to burn so much oil that when someone pissed me off in traffic or was tailgating I would push the clutch in and rev it up to pump blue smoke into their face. LOL. I will always feel that the fact that I had to drive cars like that just make me appreciate what I have worked so hard for

1998 VW beetle handed down to me by my parents. It's funny when i was a kid i thought they looked cool, but then i go and drive one as my own and i feel like a loser XD. Trunk release wouldn't work half the time, kept burning headlights, slow as hell, no fun at all. Last straw was when the alt. took a crap on me then i sold it. Got my SC and haven't looked back

My first VEHICLE was my parent's Jeep Grand Cherokee. It had 275,000 miles it, it was wrecked 4 times over its long life, it had a blown head-gasket, and it sounded like a diesel at idle. The paint was fading and coming off, and the roof was completely covered in surface rust. It also had no front bumper. That thing still got me everywhere I needed to go, even on very long trips. Over the course of owning it, it only broke down three times amazingly. I miss it.

The first CAR I bought is my current Supra MK3. It has its problems too, mostly minor, and cosmetic. I love it, though. For the first car I bought with money, it's great. I still plan on buying on SC as I was going to originally. But, ah, happenstance occurrences - what can you do?

'85 Toyota 4Runner SR5. I love it! Solid front axle, factory-installed clinometer, power windows, a/c, manual transmission, manual transfer case (lever on the floor, not the button). That thing was a beast and really sparked my love affair with Toyota.

Default What was your First Car?







Was your first car barely able to get from point A-to-B?
Were you starting off in an exotic?
Or did you wake up in a new Bugatti?

Here's mine...a 1964 Plymouth Barracuda...got it in 1970. That will show you how long I've been driving.

The 1Gen Barracuda had what was arguably the largest single pane of glass ever put on a regular production car.

That is lovely!

Here's mine - a 1979 Ford Escort 1.3L in Riviera Blue. A whole 48bhp.( I'm still married to the girl sitting on the hood.)

My first car was an 1950 Olds Super 88 with a 3/4 race cam! I inherited this from my father, when I started to drive. it was black with (if I remember correctly) a grey interior, but it had black sidewall tires.. Don't ask my age!
