My first car was a '67 XKE Jag Roadster with only 33,000 miles and perfect condition, I bought it from the original owner two weeks after I graduated from college and got my engineering job. I always wanted one so I did it.

95 v6 mustang... could not kill it untill my g/f drove it
My first car!?
When custom was actually custom and you built a car with a sawzall and sweat. It wasn't all about speed nor was it about style. It was about how slow you could go and how many bitches you could pickup cruising A1A for hours and only going 2 miles. The 165.2db was nice too.

First car was a 1990 Chevy Cavalier Z24. 5spd, 3.1L V6.
Wasnt a bad car really, when I think about it. Treated me well, minus the coolant line leading into the heater core coming CLEAR out. That, and another coolant leak into the block. Got both fixed (had no more heat), and drove it all over the place. Went through 4 headunits for various reasons (sold, stolen, thought I was getting rid of the car, and finally really did get rid of the car).
Blew 1 engine, the oil pump went when I was on the highway, stopped letting oil flow into the cylinders, and BOOM, it went. Got that replaced, drove it until I left for college. Came back for Thanksgiving break, and the brake master didnt want to work. Ran right through a red light near my house. Limped it home, and from there, just decided this thing had to go.
And thats the story.

My first car was given to me from my uncle and it was a 1985 toyota corolla hatchback aka AE86. That thing was awesome, I wish I still had it, but unfortunately I had it before the whole drift scene blew up!
