Pad $600 in about 1985. Was really a fun car ... power nuthin, but didn't need it. 5 speed RWD, enough power for a car that small.

My first car is a 93 Camery which I got from my parent when I was in high school. My first car purchased would be my 2001 MR2 Spyder.

1980 Honda Civic stationwagon. :D It lasted until 1990 when I traded it in for a Ford Ranger. It was still running really well at the time.

Was a 1978 Volvo Sedan, 240 I think. No AC, which was hell here in Florida. Radio only picked up like one AM station, and it was a spanish station which I didn't understand. And it had an in-dash 8 track player, but don't think it worked. It did have power windows and mirrors though. It was rear-wheel drive so I got to learn how to do power-slides in the dirt rodes near my old neighborhood, it was fun. Though I'm not sure if "power" slide is a fair description considering this thing was a total slug.

1971 Chevy Impala

I was 18 when I got it (1993) and it was in near-perfect condition. It was a HUGE gas hog, but there was tons of "room" in the back and front seats. :D
