    My first was a silver 1977 Monza Spider

    A small car with a V8 engine that had a black widow on the hood. What teenage boy could ask for more?

    My 2002 Honda Accord. It needed a little work, and it had some dents/dings, but what a great car! Lots of memories. Wish I hadn't traded it in last year.

    I had a red triumph herald, the seller sold it coz the 'engine died' I replaced a valve in the cylinder head and it was a most wonderful car, I sold it for ten times more than I paid for it but I still regret selling it

    I have a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am. This car as been amazing! I have hit a few deer with it with no damage but a small dent the size of my fist, and I have had to do very little work with the engine. I'm getting a new car next spring and I am happy, sad and scared! My husband tells me my car is the exception to the rule. I probably won't be this lucky again. It will have been a memorable 13+ years!

    I wish I kept my 2007 Subaru STi. I got tired of the ride quality being quite rough but I had it modified and man was it fast. I've owned some decent car since, but I wish I would have held on to it.

    Since there were a few Celica's here, he was my first car out of College that I spent a great amount modifying...

    1998 Nissan Maxima Black (Named Maverick).......upgraded to 2004 Nissan Maxima White (Named Sofi). I wish to this day I had both cars. I loved them. The Bose stereo system was to die for. Now I drive 2007 Toyota Camry.

    I'm 23 and I've only owned one car before. My 1995 Honda Civic Coupe DX. It has lasted me 7 years, but I'm looking into buying a Honda Fit Sport as my first new vehicle.

    Well... I haven't gotten rid of it... but I love my 2007 Acura RDX! It is perfectly sporty. :)
    Not as special as some of the cars other people have mentioned, but I'm very happy with mine! I used to have a 2001 Acura MDX and loved that as well; mostly because it was baby blue!

    My 2001 Accord. Not because it was some awesome car, but it got 30+ mpg. My Wrangler gets about 17 mpg. :sad:

    I had a bright blue Nissan Versa, one of the first years they came out. Such a cute four-door hatch with a lot of leg room in the back. I had to get rid of it because the payments were too high for what I was making at the time though....now I have a Hyundai Accent which is fine, no issues but nothing fancy or exciting.

    1972 Lemans, it had automatic and air conditioning. (The Pontiac LeMans was a sort of less styled GTO).

    We just sold our 70 Lemans Sport with bucket seats. So sad to see that girl go but she had very bad luck. My husband spent so much time and money and someone stole the seats out of it then a tree went through the windsheild. Hubby lost his love for it then. So so sad!

    I loved my '92 Geo Storm. Small, red and fast. That car went through so much. I learned to drive a stick in that car and still never had to have the clutch replaced. I sold it to my brother in '98 as I was newly married and found out I was pregnant. It was no car to haul a baby around in. It had 200,000 miles on it when I sold it and it was still going strong. My brother had it long enough that his son started driving it. I had soooo much fun in that car. I'm glad cars can't talk!

    My husband would say his 88 Camaro... That was before my time though... My best car is my current car. 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. We bought it 2 months before we got married in 2004 so this weekend will make 8 years we have had it. Its brought us thru 105K miles and moved us from Massachusetts to Tennessee.

    2006 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I would still have it to this day if I didn't roll it into a telephone pole!! But it's all okay, the hubby is looking at getting me a new one. They are the loves of my life! :happy:

    '63 Chevy Impala I named Edna. She was great! I loved to roll all the windows down and crank the radio up!

    My PT Crusier- it was a lease but my cousin gifted me a 1994 Jag, but i'm a little shy about driving around town in it b/c its way to showy for my style. its parked in the drive way but is in dire need of a wash so i may just have to take it to the car wash.

    I love my little Geo Prizm :D our first one (my hubby and I's first 'couple' car) was a 97' Prizm- it was perfect, but we only had it about a month before I was driving too tired and wrapped it around a street light and totaled it... but I didn't have a single scratch on me, and neither did my dog who was loose in the backseat, so we went out and bought another one! Our current one is a 96' Prizm, but it's the same color and everything - deep forest green :) Such a fantastic car, never had any problems with it and we get amazing gas mileage! We will be getting it repainted (in the same color) and passing it on to my hubby's little sister in 3 years when she turns 16 :)

    My hubby's Camaro SS. It might have been a gas guzzler, but it was fun to joy ride around in.

    My first car, a '65 Mustang that my Grandpa gave me for my 16th birthday in 1973. I loved that car and I gave it to my brother when I got a '69 Mustang, which ultimately is my favorite car of all time, I am still crazy for them.

    I had a '71 Nova SS, with a 350, Hurst 4 speed, 456 Rear End, that I used to race the quarter against the guys, in my 20's. It was awesome! And yes, I won a lot! Hard not to leave them behind with 456! lol

    I just love cars, period. Now I'm an old lady that drives an '08 PT Cruiser. But, in my defense, it is tricked out in a 'Skull' theme. Pretty cool ride.
