Two weeks after I graduated from college and got my engineering job, I bought the car I've always wanted, I fell helplessly in love with it when I was 12yo in 1961 when they first came out, and this was the first car I ever owned:

A '67 E-Type Roadster, maroon, black leather interior, black convert. top ...I was happier than a pig in mud.



note: my edit is a nod to the Jag afficianados who would condemn me for calling this an "XKE" so I changed it to the correct "E-Type"

shakran

Yes, I really did have that.

2002 Mazda Protege. It will be two years in August of me owning it.

Well if we're gonna dig that deep, this is me driving my actual first car with my little brother riding in back:

**Mod note: sorry, no images of children on the TFP**

And bobby's '65 Chrysler reminds me of the fond memories I have of the '65 Buick LeSabre I had which I eventually bought as a daily driver so I didn't have to drive my XKE in bad weather/short errands. It had a small block Wildcat V8, I think that was just a 300ci motor, but it always out drag raced my buddy's big block Electra225 which had a 430ci motor or something like that. I bought the Buick with 38k miles on it from the original owner, a Protestant minister, for $600 and it still smelled new and was in perfect condition.

Redlemon

I had some rusted-out Datsun Pickup, in faded red. I don't even remember what year it was... wait, I found it, 1976. I think this is a picture of one of them...



...my dad found it for $500 in 1985. It also had a Baha bumper on the front. My dad was afraid I'd hit something, and all that would be left would be me holding the steering wheel in the middle of the road.

He replaced it shortly thereafter with a 1972 BMW 2002, painted Colorado Sunrise. Another $500 car, but a much better deal. And you could see it a mile away.

I could have sworn my first car was a 78 model, but I cant seem to find a picture of it before 1980, I got it in 1986

It was an AMC Concord Station Wagon. I bought it for 500 bucks (my high school graduation money)



I loved this car, I had some VERY good times in it hehehe

I will never forget my first car. I had to share it with my older sister. It was brown, not shiny, but more of a shit brown. It had a hole in the floor and smelled like an attic. We got it used, very used.

Here it is in white. It sure looks much nicer than mine did.

1983 Nissan Sentra (was around the time when Datsun was becoming Nissan).

Mine was a family car, two-door, red with a brown driver's door and a tan passenger side fender.

By the time I was finished with it, it had a darker red fender on the driver's side, I accidentally took it over a cliff (I thought it was suitable for offroading, apparently I was incredibly wrong), it burst into flames while I was driving it. I don't really miss that car. I'm sure it doesn't miss me.

Just curious? Did you ever do it in the back of a Volkswagen?

Willravel

Ford Tempo Coupe, like a 1993 or 94, 5 speed. It was good enough.

telekinetic

(not mine, same color though)

1996 Geo Prism--Drove this bad boy into the ground. Glad I got a lot of my beginning driver shenanigans out of the way before selling it and getting my MR2.

Edit: i was going to post that I don't think I ever had sex in the back of the Prizm, but then i realized I didn't lose my virginity until I sold it for the much cooler MR2. Related? Who knows! Correlation may not be causation, but I'm sure rocking a sexy sportscar instead of an offbrand corolla didn't hurt things

JStrider,
That's an awesome shot of you and your Explorer. I'd think if you sent that in to Ford, they'd pay you a couple mil to use it in commercials since it's more believable (at least to me) than the Lock Ness monster heaving a Toyota.

QuasiMondo

My first car was a 1994 Ford Escort LX.

It wasn't the worst car I ever owned (that distinction goes to my friend's 1994 Ford Probe that he sold me, complete with balky transmission and broken automatic seatbelts) but it was the one that I kicked myself for getting for the next six years afterward since I had passed on a beautiful '91 CRX Si because it didn't have a back seat.

It was a decent car, save for the fried clutch (the result of an ill-advisied attempt at street racing) and leaky master cylinder, but man oh man did you ever (not) feel those 88 horses from that SOHC 1.9L engine. It was the only car that I had that required a downshift all the way to third to have enough gusto to make it up some of the hills around me.

After some unscrupulous theves took my Escort away from me, I made up for the error of not buying that Honda buy tracking down the cleanest CRX around, and all was right with the world once again.

I bought my mother's bright orange with chrome detail 1972 Opel GT. In highschool, this was even more fun to drive than my buddy's TransAm.

I don't have a pic ready, but here is one that I googled:

Wow, some of you had great first cars. I haven't decided whether it's okay for a parent to help buy the first car or to allow the kid the opportunity to earn the money themselves. I earned all of my cars, but it would have been nice to have something reliable before graduating from college.

DDDDave

1976 Chevy Chevette. Man, that is one homely car.

Not the actual one I owned, but the same model. A 1974 Vauxall Viva (mine was metallic pale blue).

By the time my kid is old enough to drive I'm hoping gas prices will be so high I can tell him "public transportation, or you don't need a license for that bike I bought you?"

Willravel

That's a good point. If only a scientist could give a clear indication of Hubbert's Peak....lazy scientists. Maybe I should just get a horse (a.k.a the ORIGINAL mustang)!

1979 Plymouth Volare.


sigh. It was blue with a spectacular new paint job... until I cracked it up in the middle of 7 lanes of traffic on 301 in Sarasota. Then I was punished with one of these babies...



1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88... baby poop yellow with a baby poop brown top.

Yeah, baby.

Ahhhh the CRX. Friend of mine has one. Damn fun little car to drive. That thing's a gokart with a roof.

Meditrina

Sadly, no. I was a shy, unadventurous high school student when I had that car.

I did.



I had a 1997 Jetta until some douchebag rear-ended me and totalled it. I was stopped at a stop light and he nailed me at 55 MPH in an older camaro. Went under the car busted the frame and shifted the rear axle about 6 inches.

Psycho Dad

'73 Pinto station wagon

Mine was a pissy green. We called it the Pinto Warrior. Take out the spare tire, throw in a keg of beer and some ice and it was rolling keg party.

My first car was a 1991 Chevy Corsica. Same color as the one in the picture, but I never got it to look near as glossy and perfect as the one in the pic. Oh, and mine had tinted windows and styled steel wheels. I had it from the time I was 16 until just last year, when I was 26. Yikes!

drag0nmanes

Good ol 83 civic wagon, although tan not the blue in the picture. Other then being totally fugly, it got pretty good gas mileage and could seat 5 legally. Was the first of many cars I owed old as or older then myself.

TheClarkster

Beautiful '85 Volvo Station Wagon. Except mine was a lovely blue. It also came from my mom with about 238k miles on it. Silly old beast it was, but it turned on a freakin' dime.



First car I bought on my own was a '68 Cougar. Painted an ugly silver and it always ran like garbage, but it was loud enough to set off every car alarm down my street so I was happy.

1964 1/2 Mustang. 6 cylinder, 3 speed. Paid $400 for it in 1972 the week before I turned 16 with my own money.

Redlemon

Oooh! Me too! Well, if 3rd base counts as "doing it". I didn't get further than that in high school. However, it was one of those semi-automatic VW Bugs, where you engage the clutch by pressing down on the stick shift.

But mine was a nice yellowish beige. The seats were like sitting on a couch though. I bought it in 1993 with about 35,000 miles on it. CHERRY.

A funny story, I was 15 my oldest bro. had graduated from University of Denver and was the youngest staff writer on the Rockey Mountain News and he came home with a 69 navy blue bug w/sun roof, he told my parents he was going to Paris with this 30 year old woman to tutor her daughters in English(yea like we believed that). He also had some good new and some bad news - he was leaving his car for me but he still owed $1800 bucks on it.








I loved that car, took it on jeep trails all over, loved the sunroof and the 8 track player & 4 speakers I installed.

Oh yea, did it in the back!
