    You destroyed a Cutlass Supreme? I feel like I don't even know you anymore. :mad: I wanted one of them or a Monte Carlo but they still wanted too much money for them when I was 16. I still wouldn't mind having one now if I had the extra money and garage space. That would have been the best car out of all your cars.

    1991 Acura Integra. Lightweight frame, small, gas friendly engine, but a lot of kick. I used to love flying around in that thing...so much fun. I wish I still had it.

    The first car I ever owned was a 1987 Toyota Turcell and I ran that completely into the ground. It ended up throwing a rod in 1992 or so. The first car I ever purchased new was the 1997 Pontaic Sunfire GT.

    My first/current car is a 1999 Toyota Corolla, nothing fancy at all and don't particularly like its styling etc, looks like a bug to me haha. That being said its given me NO problems , super reliable and economical. Currently saving for something nicer, hopefully a Honda S2000 or Nissan Skyline R34 25GT, still undecided.

    My first car was a 1.1 litre Peugeot 106 small but it was great fun to drive and was very nippy.

    My first car was a 1989 Chevy Celebrity. It wasn't much to look at but man did it get me to where I needed to go. I was older than most of my friends by one year so when I was 16 I got my license and most of my friends were 15. I remember never having so many friends as I did that first year driving. It almost became automatic that I would be the one to pick everybody up and drop everybody off. I didn't care though because I had my license and I was loving it. As the years went by others started to get their own cars and now it's a whole lot different. I see my car as something necessary; especially living in a big city that it seems was almost designed with the car driver in mind.

    Well I am only 21 now, so my first vehicle was not to long ago. My first car was a Renault Megane Scenic (I'm from Europe). My dad didn't need it anymore so he said that I can have it. It was a minivan but I sold it over a year ago, I first had it when I was 18.

    Our first car was an old Nissan. It was totally red, kinda retro look. It served pretty long, until we had no choice than to replace it. Then we bought another Nissan, not a new one. Now we just bought a totally new Nissan car. We still talk about our old red one once in a while, somehow it stays on our mind, and we have a lot of memories about it. Funny things happened in that car :)

    Sorry, if I had known at the time that you wanted that car, I wouldn't have decided to put that thing in reverse and tear up the pavement in reverse into the cushion of rocks. I'll think of you the next time I decide to do that LMFAO!

    My first car was a 95 Accord that I worked 2 years to save up a down payment for and buy when I was 18. I swapped it from an auto to a 5sp, 2nd person in the country to do so. :)

    At 18 year old my grandfather gave me a Chevrolet Caprice 1976. It was a really nice car and it had a nice paint job.

    My first car was a brilliantly BMW 735i with a beautiful color, dark green, beige leather interior with many options, seats heated, ventilated, massage , tv, dvd, voice control, navigation the hatch and many others. I have a car and to the present and are very satisfied with it ! Most people are afraid of consumption of such a car but I think that to a style of driving in the city take a consumption of 13 liters / 100 km what seems to me a very decent consumption !

    It was an Aprilia SX, with a 50cc engine. I loved it, It really did great. Even though, it only went like 55km/h, but it was enough for me. But I sold it to get 125cc motorcycle. Yamaha DT. But I still miss the Aprilia, its engine was in great condition and so on.

    My very first car was a metallic-blue AMC Pacer coupe 1978, my present when I turned 18.

    I later found that the car was not very good, but I loved its design until I found more interesting a Ford Contour 1986.

    Wow I can see there are some really young people at this website by the first cars they have. My first auto was a second hand 1951 DeSoto. Anyone out there remember them? My second car was even older. It was a 1949 Hudson Hornet, fire engine red with three speed manual transmission on the column. Those were the "good ole days" of driving.

    Welcome to GearHead Central @bigal31

    The DeSoto I have heard of but had to Google it to refresh my memory on what it looks like. The Hudson Hornet I remember. Its a famous car so its hard not to know that one. Some kids should know about it as well since they used it in the movie Cars.

    Our very first car was a Toyota Corolla, if I remember correctly, it was a 1995 model? Anyway my dad sold it to upgrade. Now we have owned a total of 3 cars.
