What was your first car, OT?

I've spent the past couple of weeks looking on Craigslist and local dealers trying to find my first car. I wanted to get an idea of what other people got for their first cars. Any advice would be greatly appriciated as well.

An '01 Mustang. It was dog slow and I spent way too much trying to make it fast but for a first car, it was cool. As for what I'd suggest...either a used truck for cheap or a higher mileage Toyota four-door that you can just drive the wheels off of.

Well this all certainly depends on your budget... But my first car is also my current car; I have a 2002 Ford Taurus SEL. I really like it. It has black leather, metallic dark gray body color, automatic climate control, 6-CD changer (though this isn't all that needed), gets ~ 27 MPG. For me, it's awesome. Sure, there are other cars I'd like to get (ie, a hybrid), but this car certainly works well for me.

04 Ford Taurus.

94 Buick Regal and my second car was a 98 Altima that I still drive.

This was my first one (not mine, but similar except for a lack of gold trim):

Lost that one to a Coke truck that rear-ended me. Eventually I ended up replacing it with this one:

Not a bad upgrade in my opinion.

99 Ranger



She was quite a lemon but I honestly miss it sometimes:(
Still see it about once a week though, the guy who bought it knew what he was getting himself into

1976 Dodge Dart

A 1-litre Nissan Micra from the 80s. It struggled going up even the slighest gradients, however downhill I could push it to just above 100mph. What a beast.... Anyway I have no advice as I really know sweet f*** all about cars.

'02 Mazda Protege. It was a great car, good one to tune up. It was good and cheap on gas too. I sometimes wish I still had it.

Never had one. Cars are crazy expensive where I live so I am still saving to buy one.

1988 Chevy Scottsdale.

Something like this but Brown and Gold with a spoiler.

I'll let you know in like six years when I get one. :cry:

1990 Volvo 760 GLE. Thing drove like a tank, absolutely loved it.

92' izuzu rodeo. and its still running fine.

1996 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR. I got it in 2004. Probably one of the best buys I've ever made, never really had any problems with it.

I will probably sell it next year though, just for a change. Be sad to see it go.

I was supposed to be getting a 2007 Ford Focus for $500 from my dads work... but someone at the work broke a cylinder or something and something else broke so now I can't get it and I still haven't got a first car :(

I'd go for a red car if I were you.
