My mom gave me her old one this weekend. It's a VW piece of shit. It's small, speedometers broken, you have to basically smash the gas and brake. And it reeks of fukken cigaratte smoke. But it's mine, and I'm thankful.

At least until I for a CTS/STS

no A/C at the moment. =/
 
1995 Toyota Celica. I loved it, I used to bomb around at 100+ wherever the hell I wanted. It's a miracle I didn't get killed, and that my first speeding ticket was only a 38 in a 25. (I had been going 95 in a 40 a couple minutes before that. :lol )
 
1999 Audi A4. Car was in near perfect condition when I got it a year ago, and I have kept it in the exact same condition, even though I drive it everyday. The car drives like a dream, and I couldn't have asked for a better car. :D

'97 geo tracker

12 replies and you are the first one with a Geo Tracker... that is surpising.

Myself, my first (and current car) is a 97 Buick Skylark. I'm saving up for some Nissan sexiness though.

I used to have a 1999 Audi A4...it was an awesome car.

My first car was a Pontiac Sunfire. It was a piece of shit and is the last GM product I'll ever buy. Build quality was shit, mechanicals were shit, style was shit, and it was cheap cheap cheap.
 
92 Accord. Got it 4 years ago. Still running strong.
 
My first car was a 1994 Ford Probe. I later realized that mechanics nicknamed the car Ford 'Probe'lem, at which point I laughed nervously. Fun little car though.
 
1988 Pontiac Grand Prix

Drive it about four years until the engine exploded and started smoking on the freeway. Got a 2002 Civic as a replacement that's wonderful.
 
1990 White Toyota Camry XLE

Not my car and not my woman, just a pic I found.

The car I want is an Acura TL but I'm trying to save up for a house which is still years and years away.

A STYLIN '89 Mercury Tracer hatchback. Oh yeah, I got ALL the chicks with that car.
My older sister had one of those a LONG time ago. Her third one in 3 years.

Now she had some problems with cars. Her very first one's floor rotted out in the backseat.
 
Cadillac SLS Seville

Similar to this, except that mine was in a dark red / maroon color with the custom Cadillac hubcaps (that have the logo on them) and a brown interior with brown leather seating. Also had redwood paneling all along the dash and front that went to the side doors of the car.

The car I drove before that was a Mercedes SD, but I don't really count it as being my "first car" because I only drove it when I had my permit and was still learning to drive.
 
Still don't have a car of my own, but I drive my dad's '98 Corolla.

I want my first car to be an IS300. I'm half-saving for it right now (have about 6 grand saved so far). I plan on buying it whenever I can't get my dad's Corolla anymore :lol

When I think about it, my dad will probably sell me the Corolla if I ever move out or something after graduation, who knows. I'm lucky.
 
I don't actually own the car, but my dad has another new one so i drive his old 61 EK Holden:

Looks just like that but with the colours reversed- mostly white with bright blue roof and wheels. It looks awesome but the engine is really a temperamental piece of shit, you never know when it's just going to randomly decide not to start for the day.

Only white, 4x4 and I got the full cloth top. Could push it to 70 MPH on a good day :D I lived in the Caribean when I had this car so it wasn't that bad - made me look like a tourist :p
 
My first car, bought and paid for by me via my first corporate job.

1990 Ford Probe(5 spd manual)... man I loved this car.
 
A 1971 Buick Electra 225 Coupe:

Mine was gold, though. Bought it in 1982 for $450. Car was *huge*. It had a 26 gallon gas tank, and for a few months I didn't have a job so my dad gave me $20 a week for gas. All I did was drive it about 5 miles a day, back & forth to school, and even at 1982 prices for regular gas, $20 a week wasn't enough :D
 
1979 Volkswagon Jetta, diesel. This was followed by a 1991 Chevy Cavalier that I drove in to the ground. I now have an 1999 Nissan Altima GXE, in black.
