What was your First Car?

Technically the first one I ever paid for/owned was a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE
I can't find any of the pics I had of her but this one is pretty similar..


My parents had leased a 2006 Jeep Liberty (similar to this one) that my brother and I shared though

 

Actual pic: Shoulda held on to her longer than I did. Pic kinda makes me miss her..

 

Finally found a couple pics of my first ride ! 67 Ford F 100 with a Chevy 396 out of a Corvette . Turbo 400 transmission . This was around 1978-79 .Check out that fancy hand painted pin striping !

 

Here she is!

 

5spd '88 Acura Integra

(not my car pictured but looked exactly like it)

 

1980 Datsun King Cab 4x4 5speed in white. Was lifted with 33” tires. The 90-something HP motor made it slow AF but was awesome off-road in low range cause it was so light. Bought it in 97-98 for $1,800.

 

I knew a guy who owned a similar one when he worked for an Acura Dealer. Acura let their sales guys all track test the NSX when it first came out. I wish I would have picked up the NSX when they were sub 20K.

 

Tell me about it. Never figured they’d be such a collector car and jump in value.

 

I've posted it here before, but this was Ice, my 1990 Honda Accord LX 5MT. I loved that stupid, stupid car.

I had $3,000 worth of rust repair done to that car in 2005 when it was worth hardly that as a total car. Outside of a motor swap and brakes, there wasn't an area of that car I didn't touch or take apart at least once.

 

1992 Ford Ranger XLT. My grandfather bought in brand new and then I bought it and drive the wheels off it. It still runs with the original motor and tranny. Last I heard it had well over 600k miles on it.
