I forgot my VERY first car/mode of transportation. How could I forget the 1982 Honda Moped!!! A 50cc, two-stroke, one cylinder. I pulled it out of the garage tonight and got it running again (kickstart)
It has been sitting there for a while, but had no problem starting up. 6700 miles, boy that thing is fun! At 15 years old, it was great transportation.

Hah Hah....my first car was...
a used 1968 Renault R10, which I got in pieces for $200 in 1974 right after I finished driver's education. I had to help my Dad rebuild the engine. (Kinda like a lawn mower?) Painted it screaming yellow and put black, Renault racing stripes on the sides. (I thought the stickers would help, since I had only 48hp.) It only took premium fuel, but it did get 40+ mpg.
Kept it all the way through college and when I left to go to grad school by brother-in-law drove it to death. He figured when the doors fell off it was time for the junk yard.
Then there was that 1975 Olds Cutlass Supreme...
and I gave up owning cars for a while. Now I have my IS300.
