What was the first car you ever owned? What was the first car you bought new?

First car I ever owned- 1967 Buick Wildcat with a 4 barrel 430 cubic inch gas slurper. Also had a 26 gallon gas tank and I needed every gallon it could hold.

First car I ever bought new- 1986 Chevy Cavalier. Also the first car I ever really hated. Mostly called a Crapalier by me after I owned it for a year. Luckily it got stolen and wrecked and I was never so thrilled.

1981 chevy stepside 8ft bed pickup powered by a 250 inline 6 producing a whopping 155hp. this truck had about 275,000 miles when i started driving it and 3 years later it had 297,000. it still runs, i know the guy my dad sold it to. the perfect first vehicle...character, reliable, not too fast, practical, not worth stealing or robbing, low maintenance costs and great for a high school parking lot.

1988 Pontiac 6000, no head liner, pass door would only open on inside, front bench seat slit forward and back. Also wouldn't run in the rain. Nice crap brown color too.

 

[Avenger]

First Car was a 1988 Rosewood Dodge Aries 5-speed, oh man was that car a sleeper! Other cars used to line up with me and I would blow anything with a 4-banger out of the water, as for V-6's, I would get smoked =( (Stratus comes to mind)

First new car is my 2002 Intrepid R/T, don't get many races though 'cause I think everyone is intimidated.

 

[Paul's 96 Trep]

Then got my 1996 Intrepid. Hopefully by end of this year I'll be able to get my RT!

I got you all beat for shittiest first car:

1986 Hyundai Excel Rally Sport sedan. Whopping 67hp and 100lb/ft from a 1.5L 1bbl carb'ed 4 banger.

That piece of **** got me through my last year of high school and first of college. I drove it like it was a Ferrari (meaning extremley hard) and I ended up punching a rod through the block.

Ahhh memories.

 

[Thrasher]

1976 Buick LeSaber V6, big ole land yacht. my mom bought it new in 76 i got it in 85.

 

[DCREPID'00]

I basically 'owned' my moms `90 Ford Escort all through highschool and when i was 18 I bought a 1965 Ford T-bird for $2300 and rebuilt the 390 300HP eng for $2000 I worked my ass off for that car and loved every bit of it(working/driving) got waves and thumbs-up everywhere I went(even from guys who had awesome classics) I felt like part of some club...It broke down often and needed a reliable car so i bought a `92 Chevy Cavalier at RK in VA Beach for a little over $5000 it ran great until lat Dec 2000 I was in 'A' school and just had a baby 5 months prior and knew the Cav would die soon and wouldn't make the 600 mile trip home-also needed a safe 4dr auto as the Cav was a 2dr stick, for the baby Always wanted an Intrepid since it came out in 98 and TOLD my wife I was getting one got a great deal 2 days before grad on a 2000 2.7L silver w/42000miles on it for only $13300-been in love ever since

[Sk8-4ever]

My first car cost me $2500. It was a 1992 Plymouth Sundance Duster. Automatic with a V6 3.0. Man, that car was quite fast. I used to fly in that car. Until I flew into a deer

I bought the car with 112,000 miles and when i smashed it, it had 153,000 and was still running good. I miss it alot!

 

[JoeKD]

first car I owned was a 73 roadrunner, big beast of a car with a tiny 318 under the hood, it had the TF727 transmission which I shiftkitted and the bulletproof mopar 8-3/4" rear end

the guy I bought it from used to have a built 440 in it an dhad pictures of the car with the front end about a foot in the air launching at the track, but when he blew the motor he couldn't afford to replace it and that's how I ended up with the 318

great car though, looked tough as hell with the keystone classics on all four wheels and cooper L-60's in the rear, of course something would break about once a month forcing me to teach myself car repairs..

First car for me was a 91 geo prizm, 1.6 4 cyl and I was racing mustangs on the highway, hell the speedometer only went to 85 lol, bought that car for 400 bucks ( hellz yes!) then some screwball hit my back end, they totaled the car out, got 3 grand back from the guys insurance for it, and bought my intrepid... bad thing about my intrepid, I paid 5.5k 83k miles on it, she was in good shape, but I put 2400 down on the car and my payments are 150 a month for 4 years..... there going to make alot of money off me makes me want to cry when I was looking through the paper and saw the 26.6% APR, which they never told me about when I went for the loan, they just told me my payments would be 150 a month for 4 years, teaches me:
1. Read forms better instead of being so excited about having a car that actually shines when its washed.
2. Don't take out a loan from Ford motor credit, there a buncha blood sucking ...holes who take advantage of people.....

My first car: 1965 Dodge Coronet 440.

My first was a 1985 Dodge Lancer ES Turbo. It had the TI 2.2L turbo and an automatic transmission. It had terrible turbo lag. It was a two foot operation to get that thing to 60 quick.

I still haven't bought a new car, damn student loan payments!

My first car that I owned was a 1990 Dodge Spirit 4-door Manual transmission. I loved that little car. Although I did drive both a chevy citation hatchback and a '82 white Buick Regal in High School. I did put the Spirit throgh two transmissions though before I decided that it should not come back from the dead again.
Here is a little pic of it, just the back though..
