What was your first Car?


Recommended Posts

Mine was an '82 Buick Skylark that I bought for $400. And it wasn't even worth that.

 

Here is the rundown of cars I have had for the past 14 years.

 

'82 Buick Skylark

'82 Toyota Tercel (This was actually a good car)

'91 Ford Escort GT

'93 Toyota Tercel

'91 Chevy Blazer (Best Car I ever owned)

'02 Ford Focus (POS)

'01 Kia Sephia (at the same time as the Focus)

'02 Ford Escape (got rid of the Focus)

 

Currently have:

'03 Kia Spectra (Got rid of the Sephia)

'03 Ford Focus (another POS, I'm done with Ford after this one)

Grrr...Toyota Corollas...that's what didn't survive my "Tank" aka my Blazer. Anyway, my first car was actually some hotwheels car. My first drivable car was and is my 86 Chevy S10 "Tank" Blazer. Only reason why I call it a tank is because of it's strong rear end's trailor hitch that saved my car and messed up a newer Toyota Corolla by leaving my car's signature on it's bumper and rearranged it's hood for easier opening.

My mom had an '82 Buick Skylark, quite possibly the worst car ever made

 

My first car was a 1973 Datsun 240z, I got lucky

 

I then had to sell it, due to the fact I neede a car to commute, and it was not cutting it AT ALL, project car, not everyday car

 

Anyway, I then got a '98 Ford Escort, no problems. Which leads us to our current cars.

 

My wife came into my life with her own car, so we have three

 

1995 Honda Passport

 

2002 Kia Spectra

 

2003 Hyundia Tiburon GT-V6 (Replacement for the 240z, and a good one)

 

the Kia has 69,500 miles, and no major problems, had the passenger seat replaced once.

 

The Tiburon is AWESOME, less than 16,000 miles, it is super fun

 

we have a dark blue one, heres a pic of a red one

88 1/2 Ford Escort EXP (Basically was an Escort GT with no backseat) White, with a Red Driver's door. (FORD = F'n Old Red Door)

 

93 Ford Probe 4cyl 5spd - Red - Loved it - Drove it into the ground

 

Now: 03 Mazda 6 v6 5spd - Dark Grey - LOVE IT! (Bose system sucks though, didn't have a choice, had to get it to get the leather and sunroof)

96 Sebring Convertible JXI - Totalled it...good thing it wasnt my fault, their insurances paid the entire thing off

 

Currently:

99 Alero

 

Its been on and off. I like it, but I wish I had gotten a 4 door and this one seems to be more trouble than its worth.

 

 

 

I would REALLY like a Saab 93 sedan...those things are freakin sweet, just a bit pricy.

 

Or the 05 Mustangs. I dont care what engine, they just look too awesome.

1984 Mazda GLC hatchback LX, bought it for $700 with 130,000 miles on it. Put another 20,000 miles on it and it never died, just smoked a lot at every stoplight.

 

Second car was my favorite, wish I had it back, 1993 Toyota MR2, pure mid-engined fun, non-turbo, but still a heck of a blast. I used to autocross it at Lockheed Martin in Orlando until I sold it.

 

Current car, 1999 Lexus GS300, nice, posh, quiet and nothing like I want in a car, so I'm going to probably trade it in for a Honda S2000.

 

I just realized that I love sports cars

Well, for some reason (I now forget) I wasn't allowed to get my driver's license till I was 17. So here is the rundown of the last 10 years of driving:

 

 

Rundown of vehicles:

Current:

2004 SLK 32 AMG & 2002 Honda Metropolitan Scooter (a lot of fun).

Past:

1990 Q45 (nothing like peeling out in a sedan)

2002 C Coupe (lots of trouble)

2001 Xterra

199? Tacoma (Xtra cab -- lot of fun)

199? Pathfinder LE

199? Regular Tacoma (red) stick -- total blast

199? Mom's E Class (life is rough!)

199? White Toyota Truck 4 x 4 (brother's -- out of country).

I think there was another pathfinder in there -- so every year a different vehicle...I think I'm a car addict.

My first was a '89 Lincon Continental ...:::Shudder::: This car was a POS. The auto leveling system always messed up causing the rear suspension to drop all the way down, while the front was completly maxed out. Finally threw a rod in the second engine it had and was finally removed from our home.

 

Now:

2001 Jetta 1.8 Turbo 5spd

This is my baby. I love to drive this car so much. Comfortable ride, responsive, it's everything I want. On the highway, 80-110 (sshh) feels just like 60. I've done a couple of things like a chip(increased the horsepower/torque form 155hp/150lbs to 196hp/240lbs :shock:), cold air intake, and new suspension that have made the driving experience all that much better. Oh, and I will never be driving an automatic again.

How old is it? Fiat does not build such models any longer. But your brothers one looks nice!

 

It was about an '80 or so. He didn't have it very long. Just thought it was funny how much they have changed.

 

That was probably around the time they stop mass-producing them over here.

First car was a 1971 Plymouth Duster - 225cid slant six, 3 speed auto. Painted it bright yellow with black pinstripes. (this was in 1979)

 

Currently we have 3 vehicles in the garage but the baby is my 1993 Dodge Stealth R/T TwinTurbo. 300+hp, all wheel drive, all wheel steering.
