I have never had a speeding ticket in my 30 years of driving!! Every time I get a fast car everyone says oh no ticket time!
(you have to know how to talk to a cop) LOL

My first car was a 1991 Chevy Corsica.. It wasn't the coolest car but we had a lot of fun times together..


sherral.. My dad loves Chevy Luminas.. He drove one until it had like 200,000 miles on it then sold it and got a newer one.. The old one is still kicking tho because we always see the guy who bought it driving it around.. They are good cars..

My first car was a silver 92' Ford Probe- what a piece of crap THAT was!!


Then I had another Ford (stupid me
)- a red 94' Ford Escort- pretty good car, except for the brakes which were always being worked on.

Now I'm on car #3 , my black Toyota Corolla, which I LOVE
My next car will be a Toyota for sure!! Maybe another Corolla...

jagaruba--if you treat your Subaru right it will last you past 2007. I bought an 88 Subaru wagon (before they started giving them the fancy names) in 95 and it lasted till 2002. The only reason I had to get rid of it is because it was totalled in an accident (hit by an idiot with no license, no insurance, and driving a borrowed car with no insurance--he was arrested at the scene but put 5 people in the hospital). My Dad is driving early Subarus from either the early 80s or late 70s (I'm not sure of the dates but we had them in 84) today still.

Movin' on up!
The first car that was all mine, was a '64 Rambler American station wagon. My dad bought it for me and it was UGLY. One thing, that I never understood: WHY did they put Nash seats, in a station wagon?

let's see...

used bright yellow 1977 toyota corolla w/a dent on every surface (I didn't put them there!)

used bright orange* 1977 pontiac astre safari station wagon that used a quart of oil every 2 days until the tranny died (for $100, what do you expect?)
*a man ran into me in the middle of the day in this car & said he didn't see me (!)

used 1984 silver toyota corolla with a diesel engine - great little car for 7 years until the timing belt broke

used 1997 mercury sable station wagon in BEAUTIFUL condition with lots of room in the back for dogs & camping equipment but with better mileage than an SUV (no kids yet, unless you count all the furry ones!)

Honestly don't think I'd ever buy a new car, they lose so much value the second you drive them off the lot...

The first car that I bought myself was a 1983 Dodge Colt - red. I loved that car. I would get 50 MPG and it was a stick shift. I love driving standards. My last two cars have been automatics and they are just not as fun to drive.

The first car I had my father bought for my sister and I to share while we were in high school. It was a 1975 Chev Impala and it fit a lot of people. It was great.

A stick-shift does make you feel more in touch with the car, more in control. I kind of miss that - when I first got the station wagon I kept reaching for the non-existent clutch and gear shift for about a month!

I would have liked to buy a PT Cruiser, but there weren't any used ones available when my Corolla kicked the bucket. Anybody out there have one? How do you like it?

cavalier. I got my drivers license in 1991 when I was 24 years old. My dad bought the car for me as an incentive I think, to get me to get up the courage to get my driver's license. It worked. I loved the look of the car but hated how it ran. It was only a six cylinder engine and It would go NOWHERE even when I hit the accelerator! Since then my other cars have been:

a 92 Beretta (loved that car!)
a 91 Chevy Lumina (also cool)
currently: a 91 Cadillac (Sedan Deville) also a great car and got it at a great price from a neighbor who took really good care of it. My next car will be a Dodge Viper LOL!!

I wish I could drive a stick.. I have spent many hours at the K-Mart parking lot trying to learn.. I probably ruined a lot of cars in the process. I think about 7 people have tried to teach me and I still can't back up, so I'm just an automatic girl I guess

My first car was a very red Peugeot 104.
It was used, I had paid for it myself and I absolutely loved that car.
Handwashed it every week.

It wasn't a very good car, though and my grandfather decided I should get a new one.
I handed in my 104 and he put up the extra cash for a brandnew white Peugeot 205.

The car was delivered when I was on holiday.
Also during this holiday, my cat fell suddenly very ill and my parents had no other choice than to put him out of his misery.
So, when I got home there was this white car that, I felt, had taken the place of my white cat, whom I had loved very much.
He was the most intelligent, smart, special cat that ever lived.

Ofcourse it is silly, but I never forgave the car and hated it the entire 3 years that I owned it.
