What was your first car?
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.

My first car was a 96' Acura Integra Ls..it was $300 bucks with few problems..it was an auto tho but shifted thru the high and low gears like it was 5 speed.
 , by then i already knew how to drive just about anything except a bike (never ride one)but my first manual was a 99' Honda Civic Ex.

'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.

The first post was done by a spam bot, but interesting topic none-the-less...
 I got my first car after having my license for exactly 10 years, and it's the MINI I still own.

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.
