Hi,

Remember your first car?
Yeah !! Everyone remembers that vehicle that brings you that first taste of freedom.

Mine was a 1947 Chevrolet Club Coupe, bought in 1956, I was a Senior in high school then.

I'd love to have it now.

What was yours??

At the risk of telling my age...my 1st car was a 1992 Camaro, white with red interior...and a killer sound system (oopps! I sound like a guy!)

Bought in 1994...highschool and all that, and yes, I'd kill to have my 1st car back too.
~K.

Oh Karen, that's the car I learned how to drive on!!!!!!

My first car that I ever bought with my own money was a Ford Explorer in 1994 -- so that's two versions back. Ahhh, how I loved that car.

My first car that I got from my boyfriend but never drove was a Buick LeSabre. It had no heat so I let him drive it about 97% of the time.

How funny!

I always stick the hubby with [censored] vehicles. He recently graduated up though, from an ol beater pickup truck, to a jeep cherokee in slighlty better shape.
A few years from now, he might be driving something built in this century!

My first husband who was my boyfriend through senior year of high school taught me how to drive on a red camaro with gray seats I think. Gave him back the silver, no heat LeSabre that he got for $100 then I got my own car and I was in heaven.

My current husband has a shiny red convertible. Two seats. NO COMMENT. Considering we have a baby.
And I never drive it. Stick shift. Only automatic for me.

I'll probably get a new car in the Spring. Not a FORD though. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

LOL! :rolleyes:
A convertible-- I alwsy wanted one of those till I saw this story on the news about what happened to a man driving a convertible that wrecked. Ewe!

I have a 4 dr. Honda Accord now, but soon I hope to move up to a SUV...we have two kids and I need the room-- and I am not, nor will I ever be, a mini-van-mom (hope I don't offend anyone--sorry!) <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

You are a better woman than I am. I find nothing scarier than getting into a convertible sportscar. Usually because once a driver gets one of those they tend to think they need to show off their driving skills for the whole highway. lol. Wait, it's not funny.

BTW, I was called Soccer Mom long before I had Natalie because I had the SUV. Guess where I lived at the time, it really didn't matter if it was a mini van or not because moms were using anything bigger than a car to transport the kiddos.

What memories <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My first car was a 1973 VW Super Beetle. I had that car forever and it even survived after I had twins and somehow fit two car seats into the back seat. Not something I'd ever want to do again!!

Now, I drive a bright red Dodge Neon with automatic and air conditioning <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hello... New here,.. : )
My first car was a 1963 Plymouth, got it in 1971, just after I got divorced,..mint green, and it was a push button to change gears, I think I paid a whooping $250.00 for it..LOL, big spender..LOL but I had two kids to raise and had to get around with them..I had it for 2 years..ran good! :rolleyes: <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My first vehicle was a 1994 Dogde Dakota. Even though we had lots of service issues, I loved that truck. What I hated about being a truck owner was when people would call and expect me to help them move because I had one. Once I even had a neighbour (who I didn't know or even talk to) come by and ask to use it.

Hi, I'm new to the site.
My first car was a 1965 White Chevy Impala with red interior. It was a great car in mint condition. But 2 years later I traded it off for a orange and white volkeswagon party van. Now that was a long time ago! :music:

hi folks!
new to this forum but when i saw the question of "what's your first car?" i had to stop and read.
only that i came to the conclusion that i don't remember my first car. growing up my dad was a used car restorer/saleman so we always had several cars lying around. some of them were great classics and some exotics!
i don't know if this counts as my first car or not but from what i remember is one christmas when i 4yo, i got a new mini battery powered, sky blue funny car racer. and i drove that thing everywhere as fast as it would go! somehow after a few mid-night runs... i don't remember having it anymore. i also don't know if this counts but the next car that was "mine" was a sky blue '68 VW bug with navy blue interior. i was of course 6yo, but we got it on my b-day and my dad told me it was mine. even let me shift gears and steer sometimes before he sold it.
i don't really count those as being my first "freedom" cars though. i never had a car that was entirely my own. i had one powder blue (a coincidence for i really think this color on most vehicles does NOT belong) '78, 350 engine, black interior, camarro. now i DID choose and buy this car with my own money, however, due to my age and lack of license i put it under my boyfriend's name. i now know i was dumb.
all that aside, i can certainly tell you that the first car i fell in-love with that was mine to use at will was an '83 pontiac grand am, fully restored, mettallic mid-night blue with plush dusky blue/wood paneling interior. it had sway bars and a huge V8 engine. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> i've out raced a corvette in her and drove her nearly across country. she was MY girl until her untimely demise.

holy [censored] i just wrote a book here. sorry folks for the rambling. i get like that when speakig of cars. :rolling:

I had to stop by when I saw that question too.. I loved my first car.. It was a 73 oldsmobile omega.. I thought I was the poo in that car! I later sold it for 200. tried to give it to a girl who needed a car to get to work but she insisted on paying for it. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I miss that car... or maybe it's the carefree days LOL

77 chevy chevette with a hole you could see the ground through on the back seat passenger floor board. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm new here too but had to respond to this one. You all make me feel old! My 1st car was a 1954 Ford station wagon that my dad had taken in in trade at his motorcycle shop. I named it Granny Goodwitch because there was a commerical on TV at the time for Sugar Crisp cereal with a character by the same name. A few mos later DAd decided he needed to sell it so I had to walk for a while! I got it in 1963. Well, I guess that does make me old. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Mine was a 1992 Mercury Tracer - aka Ford Tempo (?) It was red on red and I hated it. I was basically told that it was going to be my car, I'm grateful for it now but back then red was my least favorite color on the planet and this just made it worse. I've since graduated to a 2002 silver malibu and I love her. =]

I just found a very easy and fast tool that can help me search, index and download picture , and the other media files including video files, Flash files and pictures in the web pages we are surfing. we can get it on

My first car was a VERY used 1987 silver Dodge Colt with a rust hole at the bottom of the driver's door (perfect air conditioning!!), an AM radio and no pickup, I had to accelerate to 50 to be going 35 by the time I reached the top of a hill. I called her "The Silver Roach", but to others I said she was "The Silverado". She cost me $200 and ran without repairs, evne across state lines and on the highway, for nearly two years. She was all I could afford fresh out of college...and she got me going through my first post-college job.

My very first car was a lime green Rambler in l969. It was SO old that I'm not sure if it even had a year that it was made! LOL! I had it for my first 2 years of college and was glad I even had transportation! It smoked and burned so much oil that I had to buy oil by the gallons...used, at that. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I moved on to a Ford Pinto wagon. Remember those? It was a perfect little hippie wagon...and I used to do all my college art work in her (drawings, etc.) It was my studio on wheels. LOL

It really wasn't perfect, though, because on rainy days I couldn't get it started. Oh well, that might be why we don't see any now. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The first car I bought for myself was a gold 1990 Ford Taurus. Someone crashed into my husband last year, which totalled it. We then bought a 2003 Taurus to replace it. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

With my first husband, we only owned Buicks--Skylarks and a LeSabre.

Trish, I remember Ramblers! Dare I admit that? My father drove one when I was small...

My own first car was a gold Dodge Charger... back when the side windows resembled the slanted eyes of a cat. Oh, I loved it. I drove it and I drove it hard, until it could not be driven anymore, and I wept a few tears at its oil-leaky demise.

Zee

Mine was '72 Chevy Impala. I would also love to have that car now.

OMIGOSH!!! My mother had a GREEN Nash Rambler! Little box car. Aw that was one cool car to ride in when I was a girl.
