So what was your first car? Was it a beater? What quirks did it have? How much did it cost?
Did you learn to drive in your first car? Popular first cars are tipically Honda, Nissan, Chevrolet and Volvo. |

'71 Super Beetle that was pretty nice. Then I made it a Cal-Look, still nice. Then I started doing more and more, and the lowrider phase hit in the '90's. It was fucked from there :-(

First car I bought with my own money after graduating from college. Still have it. An early build 85 Pontiac Fiero V6 4 speed manual.
![]() Ordered it before GM made the decision to build a V6 model. So not yet priced. In the end, it was 12,000 CDN.

Who knew a spam bot could spawn a good thread?
First car for me was a 1984 Honda Civic, base model with the 1300cc motor (3 barrel carb) and a 4 speed manual. I loved it. Bought it in 1986 for $4000. The good: decent handling, fun bark (straight pipe exhaust), reliable, and easily capable of 40+ mpg. The bad: no AC, vinyl seats, just a 4 speed. I'd love to have it today, but sadly it gave its life for mine when hit in the side and crushed into a light pillar. Most of them have sense suffered a similar fate or rusted into history. ![]() This but the light blue metallic paint: ![]() |

'49 Mercury that Dad bought me in '64 for $50. Junked it when I went into service two years later. Learned to drive in Dad's '47 Chevy Fleetmaster. First car I bought myself was '57 Alfa Romeo Spyder. Turned out to be a bad choice for a one striper.
