First automobile

Skoda 125L
1200cc 54hp RWD/RWE 5sp manual
Driving this beast in snow was brutal fun (or shit show), and mastering situational awareness on freeways was a matter of life or death.

1998 nissan altima
Something to this effect, except it was gold
Cramped, abysmal handling, underpowered and poor gas mileage. It was the fat bike of its era.

No but I can guarantee that I had a lid of Columbian, zigzags, roach clip, and a bic on me most of the time

1st car, Austin 1100 Traveler, dad's old car that he used solely for the commuting when his official car was not available (government pool vehicle & Cabinet ministers would often borrow it).
1st brought it myself car
1978 Vauxhall Chevette in Kermit the frog green.
Promptly ripped the motor and suspension out Replaced the gutless 1250cc with a 2.4L slanted 4 with a hot head, lumpy cams & decent headers, uprated the springs & shocks to what they used in rally cars but left everything else looking totally stock and non attention grabbing.

2000 dodge Neon, like this. Man, I thought this thing was a porsche, with stick shift, upgraded brake package, riding high on a new car. Eventually the spark plug harness corroded or something with the distributor, had to replace a bunch of wiring/harness in the engine bay. Otherwise it was ok.
Got this in '94, My dad got it running for me a little after i was 16 in early '97. It was the fastest car around, after i did some work to it. Started a life long (so far) obsession. I still drive it to get pizza once a week.
Was your dad in 'The Biz' as well?
Im third generation
First car driven was a 1991 Ford Ranger. Mine was Blue and had the visor.
First car I owned was a 1989 vw fox wagon. My then gf, now wife, had an 89 coupe the same color. It was good times.

1986 Toyota Supra. I still think this is a great looking car. Inside was nice too and just had great build quality. Unfortunately it was pretty worn out and I had to sell too soon. Had room for my mtb in the back without a problem wheels on and everything.
I had slightly different rims and five doors, but otherwise that's the first car i owned and it was great start into automobility.Whatever i could afford for the next decade and a half couldn't live up to it: 1992 VR6
Very similar to this, but an even uglier green. The original owner's name was Kermit and he had vanity plates that read KR Frog.
You could fit a lot of bodies in that trunk if you needed to. Allegedly.
1972 Grand Prix. Mine was this color but with USA mags and HUGE exhaust. 390hp and the fastest thing in a straight line.
