aaaah, the first car. technically my first car was a 1970 maverick my dad bought me and my brother to share. that didnt end too well.

at the age of 14 i knew a guy that was a mechanic (not a very good one tho, apparently). he "sold" me a 1974 dodge coronet 4 door for 20 bucks and an old 10-speed i had rebuilt. the day i was going to get the title from him, he got busted for distributing pot and fled the country lol. i had a great time with that car regardless of the legalities. after it was apparent the sharing of the maverick when i turned 16 was very one-sided, i bought a 1980 datsun 210 hatchback for 500 bucks. did some body work to it, and drove that sucker into the ground. it lasted me until i was 18. when i was about 19 i bought my first motorcycle, that sucker was my only transpo until my first kid was born 6 years later. i walked for months saving up the cash to buy that bike. i still have it too, its in my back yard waiting for me to rebuild it.
 
My first car was a Plymouth Acclaim... it was a hand me down when I went to college. It was a POS compared to what my friends were driving but I loved it. It took my dumb ass anywhere I wanted to go. I miss it dearly. 🙁 My girlfriend then was embarassed to be seen in it... well that dumb bitch doesnt know I drive a Veyron now! ... HA serves you right! D:

Not my pic but it looks almost like that minus the clearcoat failure. 🙂
 
My first car was a 1985 Honda Accord. My parents bought it from my grandpa for 1k. The car was as old as me (17) and ran like a champ. I absolutely trashed the hell out of it. I would urban offroad in city parks, random people's lawns, drive through trash cans, and do small jumps off curbs.

God I was such a dumb teenager.
 
First car was a 91 Ford Escort, I got it in 96 used for $2K. Car had all sorts of problems. My mom's friend was selling it and my mom pretty much told me to buy it, I regret it, as it was a HORRIBLE car. Had lots of transmission issues and had to be rebuilt in 98, then, again later in 98, then, in 99 the transmission went out again .. and I scrapped the car for $50. In 99, I bought my aunts used Grand Am, it was a MUCH better car, and lasted me in decent shape until 2002 when I got my Chrysler 300M, which I kept until 2009.
