Your first car?

[T-BOAN]

My daughter is getting old enough to drive soon and she was asking me if I could help her buy her first car. I'm thinking about fixing up my old Volkswagen Golf and give it to her if she gets good marks at school this year. Do you guys remember your first car or truck that you bought? I got a hand me down Dodge Colt that had no first gear. Any interesting vehicles or stories for your first car?

Mine was a 1985 Mercury Topaz. Mom and Dad bought it for me and I sure got to know lots about car care...

I'd rather just have my first one still

76 Mustang II Cobra with slightly built 5L.  I miss the dual flowmaster's.

I also had an old Topaz, ugly as sin, fairly gutless, and not great on gas, but it got me from A to B, and put up with a lot of abuse from both me and my brother.

My first car was a 71 vauxhall viva gt , orange with black in colur. 2300 cc with dual stombergs  If you where  british this  was one of the better 'english muscle car of the day "     Drove around fort mcmurrey for two years with it without plates in the mid seventies. Left it parked some where there when i turned 16 and bought a newer chev truck.

1980 International Scout.  Oh how I miss that beast!!!!

89 S10 2wd.

i lowered it and and all that crap.
then grew out of it........ well i never really fit in it anyways.

'81 Honda Civic. Man I rallied/beat the crap out of that car! Traded it for a '73 Dodge club cab short box 4X4. Wish I still had that truck....

Also had a '76 Mustang II at one point as well with a hopped up 289, hood scoop, ladderbars, etc. HUGE cop magnet and probably the biggest POS I ever owned and the only Ford I ever owned.

Wife's first car was an '81 AMC Eagle SX/4. The little hatchback model. I had a wagon and she had the SX/4. Looked pretty cool sitting in front of the house.

THAT's the one we both REALLY wish we still had.

My Wife and I had a late 80''s Lada Samara given to us as our first car when we were still dating... we gave it back at the end of the summer, do I win for having the crap car yet?

[Immortal]

Ummmmm.... no.

'87 LADA NIVA 4x4 (you know, looks like a lifted Mini...), 1600, 4 spd, complete with spare (under the hood), CRANK START for those cold Calgary mornings, and a POS stereo with 2 speakers. Went through as much oil as gas.
Damn do I miss it.
