I rebuilt, with my father, a 1965 GTO before I could drive. It was a 389 tri-power, 365 horse, 4 speed stick with black leather interior. So this was the first car I owned but I actually drove a 1972 Ford F150 as my first daily driver. What was your first ride?

My first car was a little must coloured mini, when I first bought it I was told they only lasted 3years I got 14 good years out of that car and to be honest I was real big on looking after it so I think I did well....

My first car was a 1978 (?) Ford Fiesta - canary yellow. Man, I could find that thing in ANY parking lot! When I bought it I didn't know how to drive with a clutch, so my dad had to drive it home. If I hadn't ran it out of oil it would have lasted more than 5 years.

That is a beauty! I hated those things. One of my friends had one. It could almost fit in the back of my pickup truck.

The first car I ever drove was a 1988 Dodge Shadow. It's name was Spot because the paint was chipped on it. We had it repainted but the paint just came off again. The car was our family car for 8 years before it was passed on to me.

My very first car was a 1982 Chevrolet Chevette. It was two-toned brown, so my friends called it a sh*tvette. I named it Hugo. I really loved that car, even when it developed a nasty backfire that used to scare the crap out of me as I was driving down the road.

Rough .... really rough. Those things were horrible but the backfire sounds cool.

My first vehical was a white mini van. I think it was a chrysler (sorry, I can't seem to figure out the spelling for that). It latest 2 months, I think. Long enough to get all my hours in and get my permit, atleast. Funny thing is, even though I did get my permit, I had to apply for the adult permit because I never was able to get another car to drive until after I was pregnant. That car lasted a year. We recently gave it to my mom's friend to scrap for money, since he is unemployed. It was very depressing to see it go. My mom recently got a new car, though, and she has full coverage - so I'm allowed to drive it. It is nice to be driving again.

Not too cool to have to drive around in a mini-van, huh. Just remember it was your first car and not your last.

My first car was an Aries 1984 K Car. I loved it, well did till a BMW pulled out in front of me. Kind of totaled the car. It was wonderful though before that. I wouldn't mind having one again for that matter. Just not white, I've had bad luck with white/grey cars.

1953 Ford was my first one. It was flathead V8 with overdrive. Wasn't anything special but was my first and at the time was proud to even have it.
