What was everyone's first car?

Good thread!

My 1st was a 1990 Ford Probe Turbo, cherry red. Bought it for $1500 from an older dude with blown shocks, rode back home down I-4 bouncing like a speed boat.
It was actually a nice car (I was 16 lol), it was in almost perfect shape. Replaced the shocks, bought some intrax springs and a manual boost controller. That little b!tch was quick.
This was my intro to boost addiction but not fast cars, my brother had driven a fox-body 90 GT for the longest time growing up w/ all the bolt-on goodness... I think that car turned me on to my auto-addiction the most.
 
58' triumph tr-3 , 60 tr-3,61' tr-3, 60' jag mk2, 71'jag xke, 70' triumph spitfire with a mopar 440 magnum in it!,67 jag 420, 69' jag xke, 67' ply 440 gtx, 71 ply 440 cuda, 70 triumph gt-6, 69 ply barracuda with a 440, 69 6 pac superbee, and a bunch of other cars.
 
My first car was a 1983 or 84 whatever the first year for Jeep Cherokee was.
It was a 5 speed 4x4 by far one of the greatest vehicles I had ever owned until the rear drive shaft fell off....I pulled that off and put it in 4low and drove a jeep in front wheel drive.:) :) :) :eek:
 
First car was a 80 something Lebaron. Absolute trash! But sh*t I had a car in HS unlike some of my friends and at least it got me laid :D

I got my first car a year ago, a 1989 Corvette that I worked for a year to save up enough money to buy. I still have it along with the mark VII and I love them both.
 
1975 Lincoln Mark IV, long, brown and couldn't pass up a gas station....:D
 
82? 84? Chevy Chevette 2 door 4cyl. rear wheel drive. But only had it for 1 week. I consider my 1974 Duster my first real car. 318 4bbl, cam, headers & duals. And My Favorite car was the '71 Impala 350, headers, duals, and cam. but too much rust to keep it.
 
1995 Mitsubishi Galant. Drove it until a guy with no insurance hit me and totaled it out for me.
 
My first car was a 1978 Nova Custom 4spd. I bought it when I was 14 sight unseen from a guy my father worked with, Paid $300 for it. Swapped the 305 for a 350, added a centerforce clutch and beat it for 3 years. Sold it for $300 when I was 18
 
My car history:

1978 Mustang II, German built 2.8L V6 (predecessor to the 2.9L and 4.0 OHV), and a 4 speed. Had about 90 HP stock. There were riding lawn mowers that could get away from it. Brown but not the factory brown. This was a much "brighter" shade like a lightly used penny. It grew on a lot of people. Chicks loved it. Kinda wish I still had it. Sold it with ~125k

1990 Jeep Cherokee, Black, 4.0L, 5 speed. Last year for the renault/bendix injected 4.0's before Chrysler bastardized everything. Had a lot of problems with the clutch and cooling system. Drove the wheels off of it. Sold it to a Mexican guy for $875

1991 Jeep Cherokee, Black, 4.0L, 5 speed. Basically the same except a different color tape stripe and two more doors. A few more options too. I have a 3" lift and 31's on it. It's got 203,000 miles on it. I haven't sold it yet because I might need something that can get torn up at work occasionally so the Lincoln can stay safe at home.

2002 Lincoln LS8, Black, 71,000 miles. Needed a change after 5 years of Jeeps.
 
My first was a 1994 buick roadmaster wit an LT1. Even with its size i think it could have took my LS in the 1/4. I ran the hell out of that car it would spin for days.
 
I can only speak for the 1994-1996 Impala SS, but that car with the LT1 had 260 hp. 0-60 in just over 7 seconds, and ran the 1/4 mile in 15.4 at 91.1mph. Gen 1 LS V8 had 252 HP, and made it to 60 in 7.3 in stock form. What's a safe bet for a good driver for a 1/4 mile estimate?

The LT1 did have more torque. iirc it was in the low 300's.

I spent a lil money on her..... K&N typhoon intake, sprint springs over Tokicos, racing seats, reverse indiglos w/brushed almn.bezel, those were my 3rd set of rims(4th incl.the stocks), the wing (which most of u hate! lol), C/F invader hood, pedals, shift boot, shift knob, exhaust, cstm blk housing headlights, HID kit, etc. etc. etc...... I never relized that lil :q:q:q:q cost so much! I still have it, needs an axle... low low milage too, like under 50Gz!!! I think I will fix it, better on gas....and hella fun 2 drive!!! :)
 
1967 pontiac LeMans with a 455 big block... started building it with a paper route. bought it for 800 bucks.. rebuilt the engine,trans and suspension.. first time at the track it ran a 14.0. after rebuilt engine i go it down to a 13.2 at 105

light blue with blue interior.. with WELD drag stars
 
1990 Ford Taurus wagon in burgundy. My mom got it in January of 1995 and only put about 25K miles on it until 2005, when I started driving it. In terms of comfort and utility, that car is awesome. With the rear seats down the cargo capacity is amazing. It rides like a couch on wheels. Also very reliable. I just brought it in for regular maintenance, with 106K on the odo. Oil change, tighten tranny pan, and add more trans fluid. Tranny fluid was cherry pink with no shavings or dirt. The only repairs every done to it was when my mom hit the wheel against the curb and ruined the steering. Also the alternator and starter both replaced twiced over a period of 10 years. The car really takes some abuse and remains faithful.

My second car was a 97 maxima gle that I bought off my friend last june. It has enkeis, eibachs with tokico blues, injen cai (only good for launching thats it, you lose power at higher gears). I also had a straight through cat and exhaust. It was decently fast...until a lady blew a red light and i T boned her going 30. (im ok).

I just got my norsea blue 05 LS ultimate 3 weeks ago...Pics will be up soon
 
2002 dodge intrepid peice of crap 2.7 engine blew out so then i had a 2004 chevy trailblazer gave that to my sister and then had a 2002 turbocharged chrysler seebring convertable and after the transmission dropped on that i bought my baby LS
 
My first was a 98 trans am with thw ws6 package. Totalled that and found probably the nicest 93 lx 5.0 you will ever see in your life. Unfortunately that was stolen and never recovered.
 
My first car was my 2002 S10 Zr2, and it looked like this:

I spent lots of money modding it, and also learned tons about cars from working on it.

Still have it, only now it looks like this:
