What was your first car?

Olds baby!

1982 Olds Cutlass Ciera. Had blue suede seats and the blue top. PIMP!

mine was a 1985 toyota celica gt

Mines was 92 Subaru Legacy Sedan. After I got done with modding it, it was a beast.

1996 chevy blazer, stole it from my sister one day and never gave it back, we bought it new and my dad gave it to her, she never took care of it, so I borrowed it and never gave it back, the first week I had it the radio dook a dump, so I had to get a new on of those, then the intake manifold gasket blew out, but it was a free car so I didn't care...

120!!!!! did it take youo 5 miles to reach that speed??

anyways my 2000 corolla i just got 2 weeks ago is my first

Nah, all downhill (ONE LARGE DOWNHILL) to get it up there with an 80MPH tailwind.

Thank you all, for contributing. It seems there are a lot of YOUNG (I'm only 26) people on this board with the apparent average age being around (as far as I can tell) 23.

I guess im over the hill turning 29 sept 9 2006..

i turn 24 in November of this year. Actually the van took off pretty good. I've beated a few auto stangs and some other coupes out there with the van. Believe it or not it put up a good fight.

91 geo prizm (blew the auto with neutral bombs), 92 toyota corolla (hit in the rear by a blind friend), and just did the last payment on my 01 corolla.

:superconf

Was he blind before, or AFTER, he hit the rear of your car?

my first car back home was a 99 nissan pulsar..which they don't have here.. that baby was reall fast.

hah he doesnt see red too well I think. I was stopped at a stop sign and he ran into the back of me at 35 without breaking. totaled both our cars. 6 months later he ran a red and totaled 3 more cars. I give him 3 months with his new car now.

i'm young too, i'm only 19, turning 20 next month september, and my first car is the car i'm driving right now, in my sig, ae102 7afe 5-spd

mine IS a 1988 coROLLA FX 2door hatch with only 25k miles in it @_@
(since it IS my first car that will/should give you a hint that im not that old =__=)

thinking of means and ways of making it faster cuz i intend to keep it.
doing research on swapping engines.

1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Regal. The tank of the road. paid 500$ for it when i got it and it still runs today. We lost track after 240,000 miles.

82.5 Rust/White (lol) CorollaTercel. lol Man that thing was a rust bucket but it was fun just the same. No A/C though, in Central FL. UGH!

Mine was a 1983 Honda Accord SE with 70K miles.

It lasted until around 150K miles and then the rudt just ate it up. It had the leather and sunroof, so it was special to me. Plus the engne sound always made me smile. Not fast, but it had a very precise mechanical engine sound.

Mine was a 1990 chevy lumina. It was a tank......a tank that imploded from within!! Bought it with 112000 miles, and the alternator went, the Overdrive solenoid locked my tranny into overdrive so that it wouldn't run (like trying to start out in 5th gear w/manual), the coolant line corroded to the point where it could be bent and broken by hand, the tranny dropped on my way to spring break (so guess where my money went for spring break?), we found out my back brakes never worked, so we replaced all the pads and rotors, then I moved to Michigan for grad school and the spark plugs and wires needed replacing. After that I decided I needed a car that would be reliable to get me from Ann Arbor back home to WI, so my dad bought my car to help me pay for my Prizm, and uses it to get back and forth to work. And here's the kicker.....he hasn't had a problem with it since buying it from me. Probably because he has buddy christ hanging from rearview, haha.

my first car .. and ONLY car is my 00 corolla lol . it was my moms car and i was only suppossed to have it until i found a prelude for a reasonable price, then i started modding it up and my mom gave it to me .. shes still very upset about it lol she says that i shouldnt have done all that to a "new car" lol . oh well ..

1986 Pontiac Fiero - V6 yet it still had NO power. It was technically not "mine" but a loaner from my grandpa. It did have power windows, power locks and a sunroof though.

1994 tercel! that car just doesn't wanna die...

and I treated that car bad in the first months....
and it actually was getting BETTER ...
smoother idle, better gas mileage...
so... I learned that toyotas like me

Do not forget heated seats and a fire suit. LOL

94 ford probe (pos)
87 Nissan Maxima (+225k, freakin sweet)
03 Toyota Corolla (current, lovin it)

thats a myth man. Very few of them ever had that problem, and it was only an issue on the 4 Cylinder engines.

1st: '98 Corolla
2nd: '86 MR2 (currently own)
3rd: '86 Bronco II (bought for winter - sold even before registering it)
4th: '98 Tacoma (currently own..well, jointly with the credit union )

first car ever drove and learned to drive in was my moms 1998 Mazada Protege...it was a first time so i was in love with it, but when i got my license my aunt passed down her 2001 toyota corolla with only 35,000 miles on there so it was a brand new baby. now i just turned 18 and i still have her of course with some small mods and waiting for the next step in the project(s)
