What was your first car?
My first and only car is a '95 ES 300. God buying that car was big mistake. Not because it was a bad car. Because I learned how to drive with it. I had ran into crub so many times I cant even count. I have wrecked it once.
I really wished I listen to my mom and gotten a cheap crappy car to beat up.
then a Lexus. I was just to set on having a car that looked good then.

My first car was a Chevy Sprint! 3 cylinder car. I think i had it for all of 4 weeks. I got screwed big time. The engine in this car was a transplant done by what seemed to be a drunken mechanic...stuff was constantly falling off. It was one of my earliest lessons in life, you get what you pay for!

1984 Bronco...You could smell gas fumes when it was driven....No key needed to start it, just turn the ignition, if you turned the wheel too much the car stalled, the tires were racing slick bald....

Great Thread Potential Here....
1968 AMC Rambler American 4 door with a 3 speed on the tree. Cool factor 0. However, I had it painted black and installed new black upholstery. Best part was the Craig underdash FM/Cassette tape deck. Had Jenson 6x9's in boxes in the back floorboard and 5 1/4" Coaxials in the front vent panels. It had a suprisingly good sound. In 1979, I traded it in on a Red 1979 MGB convertible.

When i turned 16, my parents handed me down one of those mitsubishi mini-vans that look like a lunchbox on wheels. The first car I ever purchased was an 86 MR2 which was pretty beat, but got good gas mileage and was a relatively fun car until a coolant hose broke and blew the headgasket. After HS with the help of my parents, i purchased an integra GSR. That car went on to the cover of superstreet. I sold it soon after. I then bought a 91 MR2 turbo, modded that one like crazy and also picked up an 86 corolla GTS coupe for a daily driver. I ended up blowing up that MR2 and I picked up a 93 MR2 turbo. I eventually sold both cars and picked up an 96 accord as part of a trade. I got rid of the accord and now I currently drive a 95 SC300.

Lexus Fanatic
Mine is a '93 Nissan SE-V6 pickup. I acquired it when I was in college, and it was very useful for those "move-in/move-out" dates, hauling big things, and picking up my crazy friends in the back
