What car did y'all have for your very first car?

[eVOLutionNation]

87 Ford Taurus that had paint leperacy. That was when clear coat first came out and it flaked off. The car looked horrible.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

98 blazer

 

[jayisavol]

Did it come with an engine?

Not a running one

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Black Camaro with t-tops. Not an IROC but it did have the 350 V8....and an 8 track player.

 

[SCRocket]

1980 something ford escort. That cars engine was tough. It would go without oil for miles. I mean many many miles. I bought this car myself when I was 16. I had a job and it really felt good to buy it.

 

[Orangeslice13]

78 Buick Electra 4 door
Possibly the largest car ever made

It was in 1986 so still a nice car but huge.

 

[tnuhcvols]

Mid 70's fiat 4dr sedan. Might have done 60 tops, but it handled great. Fun to drive, with a manual tran. Went through curves like it was on rails.

 

[CardsNVols]

1990 GMC Sonoma. It was an old beat up eyesore of a pickup that I bought from a guy who basically had it sitting in his yard rotting away. He had retired and pretty much had only used it as a work truck, so it had surprisingly low mileage on it for its age (just below 125K IIRC).

I got it my senior year of high school (early 2010) for $600 with money I'd saved from a dishwasher job and drove it for 3 years with no issues. Didn't even need a key to crank it. Had been wired to where you just had to turn the ignition. The wheels might have been worth more than the truck, but damn I was proud of that thing.

How do you like the Fiat?

 

[RavinDave]

It was my 3rd or 4th but by far my favorite, and except for the color looked a lot like the ‘71 in my avatar which is a 911S with carburetors. Mine was a ‘73 911T with Bosch mechanical FI and was the Aubergine color (Kraut for eggplant). I took this picture yesterday at North Houston Porsche where this little Orange Classic is asking $120,000 which blows my mind...

 

[RavinDave]

78 Buick Electra 4 door
Possibly the largest car ever made

It was in 1986 so still a nice car but huge.

In ‘83 I got to pick any car as a company car (got a $400/mo car allowance) and bought a new Buick LeSabre. Big switch from driving my old 911 which I still had at the time.

I went from the Buick to a 79 diesel rabbit.
That was also some culture shock. Lol

 

[Tin Man]

1967 VW bus. Looked like this one. Had a small electric fan on the dash.

Yeah, I posted this before...

 

[Fatman Photos]

1968 Maroon Chevelle SS396. Sure wish I had that car now.

I bet that Rabbit was fun. Course VW kind of screwed themselves in recent times. on the diesel side with their software shenanigans to fake environmental compliance. The only diesel I ever owned was a Toronado, about a 1980, which I got off my girlfriend at the time (a few years after the LeSabre which I sold after changing jobs), and it ran well.

 

[RavinDave]

We have a VW Tiguan which used to be my wife’s before I got her a Subaru. I drive the Tiguan once in a while when I don’t need my truck. I call it my poor man’s Porsche.

 

[05_never_again]

Two. A 1997 4Runner and a 2008 Tacoma.
