What was your first car?

I was just thinking about this. I figure across the forums a lot of guys may have a different story. Maybe their first car was a VW, or a beater, hand me down, classic, or anything really. Mine was a 1989 Mustang LX 5.0. Some guy in the neighborhood had one that was all cammed out so all my friends wanted one.

I had already been working various jobs and saving to afford a car. It was white, with black trim, ten hole wheels, porno red interior, 100k miles etc. It was a looker for sure... This pic was after a lot of work here and there, few mods and a fresh paint job due to a little accident in Mexico. I sold it to a friend after a couple years to get something newer. He later sold it to another guy, who wrapped it around a pole and totaled it. RIP

89' buick lesabre. Was a beater I bought for around $600 when I was 16, this was in 2000. I had a banging sound system in it, 3 subwoofers in the trunk lol could see the rust falling off it when the bass hit.

Lol! I later found out that car had an amp wrapped in a t shirt in the trunk. It was powering some 6x9's in the rear shelf. Forgot about that nug, custom install they did

technically it was a '76 Cutlass Supreme my dad gave me....but since it never ran and he never gave me the papers...
mine was a 1981 red VW Rabbit. 4 spd...brown interior
it was almost a '86 GLH though.....thaaaaat close.

Nice my dad had a couple old beetles when I was a kid. But they were mostly gutted and didn't have paint on them. He was the guy with all the "project" cars.

2001 Hyundai Tiburon, because I was a dumb kid that was excited to get my first car and didn't know any better. I barely even shopped around and pretty much picked a car on the lot at the first place we went to. I got rid of it soon after I submerged the intake in a puddle and flooded the interior.

A 1995 Toyota Celica and I loved that thing dearly. Here's the last time it looked good.

And other one after I added a set of JDM projector low beams.

1984 Oldsmobile Omega. Powder blue with a matching vinyl top and interior. 92 horsepower and a 3 speed automatic.

My dad bought it for $500 in 1991 off a little old lady who had given up driving. Words can't really describe how much it sucked.

This is like the footprints on the beach with Jesus thing.

The words had been with you the whole time.
