What was your first car?

My first one was a 83 Olds Omega that my parents gave me. The first one I bought with my own money was a 95 Honda Prelude.

What was yours?

A 88' Celebrity, you can't beat bench seats baby!!

The rack n' pinion steer gave way at the most oppurtune time acouple months after I got...on a clover leaf on ramp...

Lets just say 40mph+ without the ability to turn, about to head off into a ditch, was not fun. It was like driving a sail boat, the wheel would just turn and turn.

Dark green 1969 Chevelle Malibu. My uncle rebuilt it with a 350 small block. Gobs of torque. Handling sucked especially in the rain and snow. Ate up gas but at least it was regular. Not to mention I owned it in 1991-1993. Regular was under a dollar a gallon. Can't beat the sound of that V8 rumble. Being an older car it wasn't as refined and had problems with it.
The first car I bought on my own is the car I own now.

I had an 03 mini cooper S. Great car to learn to drive on because it handles like a go kart. After outgrowing it in about 6 months i got my evo.

Sky blue "blue bomber" '82 Datsun-Nissan 200sx. Very fun first car... RWD, 120+, 2-dr, 5-sp, 2.2l, under 90k original miles, plus the rare 2 spark plugs per cylinder setup. Man, if only I'd known about drifting back then...
