A light blue VW Beetle,I loved that car but everybody loves their first car right ?
If I still had it now it would be worth a few bob.

A 1972 Toyota Corona that my mom bought off some old lady at the thrift store where she worked. It was a spur of the moment thing. First my older brother drove it, and then I had it for a total of 4 months...it finally died in the middle of a u-turn, which was so much fun.

My first car was brand new, a red Buick, such a cute little car. When we got married I learned that one doesn't just go willy nilly buying new cars, but I was so glad I had gone all by myself and bought that car. I was so proud of it, and I have never been that proud of anything since.

I have always wanted a Triumph Spitfire, but alas, it wasn't to be. We did own a little Datsun for a bit, but I couldnt' drive it cause I only drive automatic shifts.

I think i just found the 1st mistake ever on GOOGLE...

After you'd mentioned it i was googling the Triumph Spitfire, a car we owned that just died 1 day on the highway...i used to love the " a la James Bond very kool pop-up headlights " only to read that " they were considering it but it never went into production " balderdash!...trust me, i wasn't hallucinating...

To me, all the new cars look alike today...big, boxy, and ugly...i wouldn't drive an S.U.V. if you paid me...they all have that " too big in the booty " look in the back...

What happened to long, low, and sexy?...i recently attended my grandsons birthday party..the driveway was lined w/the obligatory black S.U.V.'s....it looked like a military instillation rather than a private residence...

i never had the desire to drive any kind of " truck " especially one that you needed a ladder to climb into

sexiest car i've ever driven was a Jag 2x2...long , low and lean, like a cat

too bad i don't have an opinion...

Oh ya always remember your first car!!!! 75 Gremlin, kind of an off orange...but it ran and it was MINE. Right out of high school so decorating was a must...disco Snoopys on the dash, Garfield, crystals, about a hundred feather roach clips...I got pulled over sometimes...not for chemicals but obstruction of vision...some of the cops thought it was cute though...had that car a long time

My first car was a 1941 Plymouth convertible. I paid 45 dollars for it and pushed it more than I ever drove it.

So many lemons in my past... I started with a barely functional Volkswagen Beetle, and when that died a couple months later, I graduated to a mammoth, ugly green Buick that stalled every time it hit a puddle of water. Guess that's what one gets with a $150 car. After that, I decided I was better off car-less. Walked and took the bus, until finally a very used, but better behaved Chevette made its appearance.
