Your first car

[hpygrll]

1981 Chevy Citation - a lovely two tone brown. I had to turn off the air and the radio to have enough power to go up hills!

I win! The first three cars I owned (in succession) happened to be on a list for worst cars ever made that I read a few years back.

1st car - 1972 Ford Pinto (beige) (what a little fire bomb that was!!)
2nd car - I don't remember the year, but I got it in 1980 - a yellow Vega
3rd car - a beige Chevette (I think I got this in 82 when my Vega which used a quart of oil a day, finally conked out)

the first car I bought was a little red opal. I don't remember what year it was because it spent more time in the shop than it did my driveway. It was a cute little car,but it was just a piece of junk! The first car I had, was a 69 Cutlass that my DF passed down to me. It was green with a white top.

I had a 1971 Opal GT at one time. Yes, very cute but you are right, a piece of junk and a death trap I loved the way the headlights came on though. I had a lever that flipped the headlights on...very cool

It was an ugly 1983 Buick Century. Yes it was ugly, but I paid cash with my own money at the age of 17.

It was a Toyota Corolla Tercell.

Not to be picky here, but which was it? A Corolla or a Tercel? I'm only asking because my second car was a blue (later red) 1990 Toyota Corolla and I loved that car dearly.

My first car was a brown 1986 Hyundai Excel that my dad bought me for my high school graduation . . . in 1999! It barely worked when I got it and my dad paid $400 plus two dozen lobster. (He's a fisherman.) He just wanted it to get me through the summer so I could get to my job and it did (more or less). I've never seen an automatic stall so many times.

 

[CF'er]

A silver 1983 Plymouth Champ. Got it when I turned 16 after my dad died and mom started driving his old car.

Actually it was a Corolla Tercel. From 1980 - 1983 they made a model called the Corolla tercel. It was a red hatchback.

1966 maroon barracuda, I loved that car!

Really? I did not know that. Nice to know a little more about the evolution of my little Crayola.

Sorry folks, I am the winner of the DORKIEST car ever.

1973 Plymouth Scamp. Medium Green. 4 Door. Standard transmission. Not your average 4 speed with a floor shifter, oh no, not for me. It had a 3 speed manual transmission, with the shifter on the steering column. More affectionately known as a "3 on the Tree" I would literally go miles out of my way to avoid hills, until I had more confidence in my skills of driving the car.

I looked like a colossol dork driving that car, but it drove like a champ.

My dad 'found' this gem for me. Literally the little old lady car.

 

[DisneyBlonde]

Ford Maverick. Silver.

 

[MEG&MINNIE]

An Orange VW Beetle, standard shift ...I received it in 1976 for my High School Graduation and off to college gift from my father !!!

 

[maxiford812]

Brown 1979 Chevy Chevette. I got it new, but so many things went wrong with that little car.

 

[GeorgeG]

My first car was a hand-me-down 1952 Nash Rambler and I got it in 1962. I believe it had a cream body with a maroon roof (I'm a little color blind).

My first new car was a 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS, black with white interior I picked colors I could tell), 327 four on the floor. Yes, it would haul...

 

[Desnik]

My first car was a '93 VW Jetta. I bought the car before I even had a license! I had to look at it in my drive way for a few months before I was able to drive it!!LOL It was so nice and it was new. Now don't think I was a spoiled brat and got a brand new car for my first car! I was a model as a baby and child and my mom had saved all my money and gave it to me when I turned 18. I didn't go to college so I used the money for a car.

 

[gypsydoodlebug]

1985 Ford Escort. Backfired like nobody's business. My sorority sisters called it the Death-scort. HATCHBACK, BAY-BE!!!

 

[Banzai]

95 Olds Eighty Eight. Big as a boat, but I could umm...take on a Caviller with only a broken headlight. He died last year, now I have a Lumina.
