    Ford Mondeo automatic, 1997 model, red colour, it was really nice. It was not that old at the time because I bought it in 2003.

    My first car was an 87 dodge daytona, but I never got to drive it :sad: The first car I had that I drove was an 89 dodge shadow, and it handled like a go-cart

    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..

    A 1976 orange Chevy Nova - I shared with my twin sister. Plus, my mom didn't drive, so it was really the family car and we were sorta-kinda like her chauffers (spelling?).

    My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla, but when I wanted to look "cool" I borrowed my dad's 25th Anniversary Corvette. My second car was '95 Camaro ... much more stylish than the Corolla that was born the same year as me. ha

    1985 Ford LTD - V6, dark silver, only downside was he was auto not man. He went through my older brother, then my older sister before I got him - brother had done some "work" so he was a sleeper but he also aquired a name once he got to me. His name was Mortis - poor car got passenger-side T-boned in the exact same spot as each of us inherited him. By the time I got T-boned, Mortis was "dying" up to his name! Still went like a rocket, but you could only get in from the driver side...

    I loved my first car!!!! It was a cherry red 1980's Mercedes Benz 300D turbo diesel. I called her Cherry Garcia. Because my brother had wrecked her before I got her, I had to use a metal bar in the passenger side door to keep it shut =D The AC didn't work, the defrost didn't work. But it was MINE.

    68 VW Beetle. My mom bought it brand new, then passed it down to me. Beautiful red. It still sits out by our shop. That poor car taught a lot of the family how to drive a stick!

    Not sure on the year, but I had a Mitsubishi Expo. It blew out blue smoke, I had to drive it in 1st or 2nd gear to get above 20 miles an hour and it was louder than a motorcycle. Fracking awesome first car. :)

    '67 Chevy 1/2 ton pick-up, Three on the tree transmission. :) I loved that old beast! My dad thought it would attract too much attention from the guys, he tried to talk me into buying a town car or cadillac... Until I pointed out the VERY SPACIOUS backseats!! :devil:
