My 93 SC300 was my first car. I was originally going to get a 94 JDM RX-7, but I didn't know how to drive a stick and I didn't know anyone that could work on it at the time.

On a serious note, this was my first "real" car, and I miss her everyday.

It appears that you chose well.

O man. When I turned 16, I got a 1986 Ford Escort EXP for like 900 bucks. It was horrible. It had a 13 HP motor, 3 speed tranny, manual everything, and no AC. If you floored it down a hill, it would hit nearly 85 MPH.

1986 Toyota Cressida. I call it my first "Lexus" or 4-door Supra (of that year). It was somewhat big, surprisingly agile, easily manageable, and fun to drive. I'd like to pick up another Cressida in the future and have it as a project car.

Holy crap 13 hp. What was it, a 2 cylinder?

I'm sure he's just exaggerating. Our lawnmower has 22HP, would be sad for a lawn mower to have more than a car LOL.

As for my first car, it was a 1996 pearl white Nissan Maxima. Bought it with 148k miles, and sold it with 175k on the clock.

My first car was a 1989 Pontiac Firebird with 2.8 V6 and 5-speed manual. Got it in 2006 with 170,000 miles on it. Thought it was the **** at first, but realized it was pretty slow. 135 HP in a 3700 lb car was not very agile. I still really enjoyed it though(when it was running). I still want to get another Firebird project car with a v8 someday.
