What was your first car?

1968 Oldsmobile Tornado, front wheel drive 455 big block with 4 barrel carb.
It had a rolling drum speedometer, the needle was fixed and a drum with numbers on it would roll when you gave it gas.

A Holden HJ. What a lemon! Anything that could go wrong with a car went wrong with that one. I swore I'd never buy another Holden after that and haven't.

1970 Plymouth Valient. Slant 6 and I beat that car into the ground. 3 motors 300,000+ miles and it died in the middle of the Mohave Desert in the middle of July back in 1984. Threw a rod. Had to wait for a buddy to drive all the way from Los Angeles to come haul me back. The next day I'm in his drive way wondering if she'll crank up. It did and lasted maybe a minute before it gave up he ghost. Man I miss that car.

My 1st was a 1986 Yugo -

I believe I paid around $300 for it used, and at one point tied a square not in the clutch cable to keep it going.

It was quite disturbing though after my first flat tire to find out that the spare was kept behind the engine...

lol - wow, she was very lucky! - That was my first car, and my least favorite. It would go from 0 to 60mph... if it was being towed.

My first car was a ford escort mk3, bought in 1991. Not mine in the image, but almost identical except mine was 2 years older and didn't have headrests. Car weren't bad except hitting any larger puddles usually meant it'd conk out.

That car holds some great memories, and some hazy ones too. But that car always lets me reminds about some of the best times experienced in my life, the early 90's in the UK. What a time to be a teenager.

Don't remember what year it was or much else about it. I only had it around 6 months before I moved to Germany and got a little black volkswagon with white hoods and top - looked like a little skunk.

David RE: next car- what on earth would you do with something with almost NO clearance? I doubt that thing would even get over a speed bump without bottoming.

  Mine came with factory stock rims and tires too, but that photo was the closest I could find to mine. I did think the pic was fitting though, considering how I lost it.
  
  That was a bummer day though. I won that drag race but my dad was there on his riding lawn tractor on the other side of the finish line. He even took from me the couple of hundred I won and made me give back the matching leather key chain with the Fire Bird emblem.
  
  I'm still bitter about it, lol, even though that happened at 16. He said he didn't give it to me for my birthday to kill myself in. I say, he taught me how to race snowmobiles and motorcycles, so what did he expect when he gave me a car like that?! Really, Daddy? :confused:
  
  Haha! Fond memories anyway.

First car was a '62 Buick LaSabre. White with a strawberry pink top and same color interior. My dad had gone looking through all the used car lots and found that one for me. Weird that I never took any pics of it because it was such a joy to have a vehicle of my own.

My next car was another well-used car, a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado in snow white with dark forest green interior. I note that Jay Lenno is an avid collector of old cars and has a '66 Toronado. I could really stuff a big bunch of friends in that one, but whatever, I was also voted as designated driver. I still miss that car today!

My was the good ol' reliable 1991 Honda Civic DX.

Back in my Army days this thing powered
many of my road trips to and from Louisiana.
I neglected and beat this thing up, yet it
still did me right.

The only problems I had with it were bad CV joints,
body rust (which Bondo fixed), and the muffler...
which was also subdued by the rust.

Other than that it drove like a "first car" should.

Wow...that reminded me of when I used to use
$10 to FILL the tank. It was at $0.98 per gallon
back then.

EDIT:

I'd forgotten all about this. MY first car that I owned on my own was a '56 Dodge Panel Wagon. I worked at a VW shop and the owner went bust and gave it to me instead of money.

A buddy had an old trash Chrysler Imperial with a 392 Hemi and push-button automatic - we pulled engine and tranny from the Chrysler and stuck it in the Dodge.

Last I saw of it was it rolling over the side of a hill late one night at a kegger in the mountains outside of LaGrande, Oregon. Once the party haze wore off, went back looking for it but could never find where it was.

[/EDIT]

First car I bought on my own was a '69 Mercury Cyclone CJ428.

This isn't mine, but identical to it. A bear to work on - all day job to change spark plugs.
