    First car ever was when my parents bought me a 1992 powder-blue Mercury Topaz. The first car I bought myself was a 1996 red Ford Thunderbird, and I still have it. The rear right turn signal doesn't work, the body is starting rust a little on the bottom and the back right taillight has red duct tape on it, but it's still my baby and I'm going to drive it until it literally falls apart :)

    My first car was a 1988 Honda CRX, white, with wheel covers painted to match. It was my pride and joy, paid for by working 3 jobs, but I wanted to pay cash and not have payments. I kept it washed, waxed, detailed, and shining. I cried the day it died on the highway and I had to replace it. Let's just say I still have a framed picture of that car.

    LIKE!

    Mine was Gray and i also have a framed picture of it

    I'm 32, have never had a car and never plan to :p
    Do you live in the city or some place small enough to get around on foot/bike? I couldn't imagine not having a car, I'd never make it anywhere!

    I haven't driven my car in over two months. Here in Chicago, we have a great public transportation system...and some of the highest gas prices in the land.
    I bet that's nice. I live in Orlando, Fl. and we don't have anything but busses and the nearest bus stop is about a 45 minute walk from my apartment! But I don't mind driving, nothing is all that far away either.

    My college roommate was from the Orlando area (Winter Park). Very cool town. We used to stay there a few days during spring break when we'd head down there.

    It's nice not having to drive, though I miss it at times. Too damn congested, especially this time of year.

    1998 black Honda Accord when I was 18! Loved the car & it lasted! I still kept it when I got my 2nd car. When we wanted to upgrade to a new sedan we traded it in finally. Bad move thou. Should have hanged on to it.

    That's actually really close to where I'm at. My last job was in Winter Park! I moved over here from a smaller town about an hour away to go to college two years ago.

    1994 Toyota Tercel - Not sure what color it was because everyone argued over whether it was green or blue. I think it was green - an awful shade of green. It had been rear-ended twice and totaled - the back bumper was no longer straight and was held on by roofing screws; the tail lights were held in by duct tape; and every time it rained, I had to use the shop vac to remove the water from the trunk or listen to water sloshing in there for weeks. No one could sit in the back seat because it was always soggy. It smelled awful. The cloth from above my head hung in my face, and when I had the window down I had to wear shades so the foamy stuff holding it up wouldn't blow off in my eyes. I couldn't see out of three of the windows because the tint had bubbled badly. It had an exhaust leak and roared. It went 0-60 in about 10 minutes. I loved that car because I live in Texas, and the a/c was so cold it spit out ice. About 2 months after I sold it, it caught fire and burnt to a shell. I cried. - I put about 1,000 miles a week on this car while I had her, and she only broke down about once a month. Once had to have a friend tow her almost 200 miles so I could get home, yet I still miss her. We called her my little ghetto cruiser. sigh...

    I almost forgot, since I saw a few camaro's and firebird's. I actually have the car I wanted now, well not the exact car, but close. A 1984 Pontiac Firebird, I have been restoring for a couple of years. I have grey interior, with a golden orange paint on it, still more work to do, just guesing, about $1,000.
