    1980 Chevy Monza. Gears so loose I didn't need the clutch from 2nd through 4th. Got me to and from school from 1986 to 1988, and then I sold it for $400 to buy another crappy Chevy. You think I would learn - still driving Chevy vehicles.

    1983 Buick Electra.

    What a fantastic first car. I remember one winter when it was mega cold outside and everyone was having trouble getting their cars started. Three pumps of the pedal and the Electra would start up every time. I paid $800 for it in 1997.

    A 1979 Plymouth Arrow Jet. Spitfire orange and flat black with a stick shift. I lived on a curvy gravel road and loved driving that car as fast as I could through those turns! I ended up totalling it on a straight stretch of paved road because someone turned in front of me. It was before seat belt laws so I was ejected from the driver's seat through the passenger window. I'm lucky to be alive!

    1971 Red Super Beatle Convertible... so cute! I loved it, even if it did start to shake when I got up to 60mph on the freeway :tongue:

    1974 Plymouth Satellite. Red. I called her "Christine" after the Stephen King book. (Yeah, I know the car in the book wasn't a Satellite, but it was a red Plymouth!) I got it in 1983 and drove it until 1988.

    1985 Red Ford Tempo. Didn't even have a cassette player. But, I loved it because I wasn't expecting a car at all.

    Maroon 1987 Honda Civic. Manual windows and I use to have to turn off the AC in order to make it up steep hills.
