My first car I ever drove was a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird when I was 14 thanks to my dad and my obsession with cars. I thought I was something...

My first car I ever drove once I got my License, was a 1987 Porsche 944 I bought in Maryland. I lived in Florida at the time, and my dad and I bought the car off eBay, flew out there, and I drove it all the way home. I never lived around mountains, or hills, so I am still proud today, to look back and say I only stalled it twice since I owned it (and those two times were the drive home)

I also got my first speeding ticket on that drive home

When I was little, probably from ~5 onward, my dad would let me sit on his lap and steer his 86 pathfinder, which was awesome. Then he got a ~93 SC300, which was more awesome.

Then when I got my license, I got to drive an even awesomer red 94 Eagle Summit wagon to school that my friends affectionately dubbed "The Dustbuster"...

That car was not awesome... but I drove it like a go-cart all the same...

I moved my aunt's 00 Civic when I was around 13, did the whole gas break thing at first. But as for actual driving it was my parent's 00 Camry, not in the best condition but was still a fun car to learn in.

I had a 1999 "Plymouth" Neon.... With a warped head gasket, so it was a ticking time bomb. The price was right for the car though, it cost me nothing because it was my uncle's car when he lived in Illinois.

I am not proud of that fact, but we all had shitty cars when we first started out driving(hopefully lol). The car I have today, is way better than Christine but we had a love hate relationship.

Truly a funny thread, mine wasnt that shy of laughable either. I drove a 2001 Chevrolet Venture Minivan (Warner bros edition) for about a year and a half with bad breaks, incorrect gauges, no A/C(keep in mind i live in texas), poor idling and would shut off every so now and then when i gave it gas at a red light (talk about embarrassing). My grandmother had given it to me after i graduated to kick start my driving career. After that i ended up in the 2009 corolla (which i fucking love) Only 131HP and i still have plenty of fun with it, now saving up to buy the FRS as my real toy with my corolla being my DD. This will be my first MT car, i actually learned how to drive MT through youtube. Went out and test drove the GSR and dealer had thought id been driving MT all my life, its amazing what you can learn from the internet nowadays.

1941 mil spec Dodge Power Wagon. What a PITA it was to learn to drive on. No synchros, loud, rough ride. But fun as hell when i finally figured it out.
