What was your first car?

Funny thing is it wasn't until years later that I knew what model the car was. My Dad bought the car and registered it (it was "payment" for a summer's worth of work in his roofing company for no cash) and the registration just said "Dodge". There were no model emblems anywhere on it.

That is sort of funny since my Dad always referred to the Windsor as a Polara.

1996 Milano Red Integra LS.




It was fun, until other Integra's on my street were stolen. So had to get rid of it.

2000 Honda prelude SH. Absolute loved that car. It was fwd, heavy and slow but it was my baby I loved it.

96 Camry coupe LE. It was slow, but super reliable, and free from my parents.

'72 Chev Impala Coupe, with the concave rear window.

This thread has me reminiscing about all the cars I've owned, and wishing there was some way to locate and restore each and every one of them.

I'm a bit of a whack when it comes to cars though - been known to shed a tear when trading something old for something new.

Still a car I'm looking for... I've been on the hunt to find a 72, and a 75. Then my life will be complete.

First car I've ever driven was a 1996 Acura Integra LS-Special 4 door, it became my benchmark for life.

First car I've bought was a 2007 VW Golf GTI 3 door, absolute worst piece of shit ever made and soured my car ownership experience lol!

There is a way for many.

Can be built stock as well.

1991 Toyota Pickup 5 speed. No AC or heat. Radio worked sometimes and the engine died all the time in cold and had only a gas gauge. It has some lift but not sure how big it was. I did end up putting it up on 33s. Also went off roading and ripped the muffler out on a rock.
I only had it for a little while til the clutch went out and my grandmother made me junk it. Loved the crap out of it and still miss the thing.

Got a 97 Ford Focus when I turned 18. It was a cheap POS! Sold it a year later.

I learned to drive in the family '73 Toyota Corolla and then in a '79 Datsun B210. The first car I bought with my own money was a well-used 1980 Mazda 626 coupe. It was supposed to be the "Japanese 3-series", so sort of a wanna-be Yuppy-mobile, which was perfect for me as a then-recent university graduate:


It wasn't particularly fast or light but it was pretty well balanced. It had the single cam 2l 4-cyl from the B2000 pick up, so it didn't exactly set the world on fire with its power or ability to rev. It was great on the highway and in the sweepers. R&T really liked it at the time:


It shared driveway space with a Honda...


It was eventually replaced by a 1985 Corolla GTS with the 4AGE. Now THAT was a car.
