Summer car- before I went off to school - drove my brother's GF's bronze-colored Mercury Capri. Learned to drive a stick in that thing! Don't remember the year but it was a rust bucket with messed-up wiring. Mom backed the Chevy Caprice (see below) into the driver's door, ruining it. Not so much as a scratch on the Chevy. My brother found a door at a junkyard -which was silver - and had it put on... This car was called the three-B - blazing bronze bomb!
First car - signed over to me by my folks - was a two-door, gun-metal gray Chevy Caprice, with the 454 Big Block engine... I think it was a 1974. Possibly 75 or 76. My dad was a vendor to GM and we got deals on
executives' cars after they had driven them for a few thousand miles. This car was called The Tank.
ETA - just checked with my brother, b/c he was the gearhead in the family. It was a 1972 Chevy Caprice.
My first owned car was a very basic, brown 1981 Toyota Corolla sedan with five on the floor - It was called Baby T - after a line in some funk song I heard on the radio.
Second car was another 1989 5-spd brown/tan Corolla called T-2.
Third car was a silver 1998 Honda Accord - funny - I don't think I named this one.
Currently I am driving my mom's 2001 Buick Park Avenue, lovingly referred to as The Land Barge.
