Out of curiosity, for those of us who drive, what was your first car.

Mine was a 1980 Buick Regal. No power anything! Lol

What about you?

When I was growing up, my parents had a tornado... I don't remember what year or who even makes it, lol.

1995 Saturn ion! Stick shift, I loved it. I totaled that one and ironically found one that was almost identical. I sold that one a few years later.

I bought my '80 regal in 1989.. Paid 1k for it. I worked at Caldor ( dept store in the area, I think it's been out of business for a while!) as a switchboard operator! I was 17 and I think I was making four something an hour!

My second car was an '86 Chevy caprice classic, old cop car haha. That thing actually lasted me until I could buy a brand new '97 Altima after finishing college. Sure you had to flood the engine to turn it off !! Then stick a pencil to hold the carberator open to restart, it lasted me years!

This is what my car looked like.
$3,500 in 1985 (my life savings at the time).
I drove it for 14 years until it was destroyed by a hit and run driver in front of my house one night.

That would be Charlie. Charlie was a light blue '66 Ford Falcon station wagon, which my Mom had bought brand new, driving it off the showroom floor. It was her first brand new car. All three of us kids learned to drive in this wonderful vehicle. I was the lucky last child, so it became mine once I had my license. I would give anything to have it back.

1994 Chevy Caprice Classic. Quite possibly the greatest care ever created.

65 or 67? Buick Special. Passed down from my brother, then my sister then me. I loved that car. Great memories. I literally cried when I sold it. The idiot that bought it blew the engine within a week.
No I am not quite that old, it was a old car.:p:D

I agree my '86 caprice classic took a licking and kept on ticking ;)
