Your first car

MTK · 10-10-2012, 10:35 AM

Can't remember if we've done this before or not, so oh well here goes

What was your first car?

Mine was a '79 Oldsmobile Tornado

She only lasted less than a year, followed her up with a '79 Mercury Grand Marquis

I miss those big old cars with gas guzzling v-8s with backseats as big as your living room couch lol

Funny story about the car I first drove, a 1967 VW Beetle, (same year I was born). It was the bumper car for all 5 of the kids in my family, many fenders were replaced on that thing. I was the youngest of the 5, and the day of my graduation at the Capital Center - as it was known then- I came out of the ceremony, and was about to pull on to the beltway, when the engine locked up. It never drove again, and I have always felt like it said, "I did my job, now I am outta here!"

Excellent engine, sodding awful bodywork. It lasted all of a couple of weeks before I took it back to the dealer for a refund.

1988 pontiac bonneville, just like this one

big and juicy, a hand-me-down from my grandparents in summer of 2002. 72,000 miles on it, it was totaled on my way to work when a guy ran a stop sign and plowed into me that same winter.

And the first car I bought was a 2001 Hyundai Accent that looked like this:

Gotta love a good car thread.

Mine was a 1987 Chevrolet V10 (the model, not an indicator of cylinder count) truck.

I bought it in November 1999, when I was 17. It is still in my fleet.
