    1981 pale blue Vauxhall Chevette hatchback. Loved it. It fitted so much stuff in the back, the windscreen wipers were really squeaky and there was a spring in the driver's seat that caused me to have to have a couple of folded blankets on the seat to stop the spring from jabbing my butt. I. Loved. That. Car.

    1971 Chevy Vega 2-door sedan, turquoise blue. Probably the most awful vehicle on the planet, but I loved it, porous aluminum block and all. Totalled it in an ice storm on my way back to college after winter break. I was supposed to bring it back to the dealer the following week to have the block replaced under warranty. I was devastated.:sad:

    I had a 74 and it was burnt orange........ha! it never ran......damn points........lol!

    A 1975 MG Midget

    I loved that car. Alas, it didn't run and was far outside of my abilities to restore at the ripe age of 16. I have no idea if I'll get another one or not..

    i wouldn't, thats a terrible and ugly car

    1994 Ford Explorer, affectionately known as The Exploder. That thing had 190,000 and still was running when I traded her in for Chewy, my 2004 Ford Escape. I actually shed one lonely Armour All tear when I left her behind at the dealership.

    1986 Merkur xr4ti. Bought it off my brother for $500, put $150 repairs into it, then sold it a year later for $800. :drinker:

    Mine was a black 1990 geo storm 5speed with a sun roof. I loved that little car!

    i know. it's weird how much we all remember our first cars fondly, even though they were usually used hand-me-downs full of rust. i think it's because those cars meant real FREEDOM for the first time in our lives.

    Eactly!! The freedom of it!! My next car after the geo was a grand am, and it was a LOT nicer, but it just wasn't the same as my first ride!

    '65 Mustang that my grandpa had driven since it was new. I got it when I turned 16, in 1973.

    My second car was a '69 Mustang, which is still the favorite car I ever had.

    Nice!! I envy the 69' you have!!!
