My first car was a 1997 3000GT VR-4.......Black on Beige with 17,000 miles for $33,000. I got her when I was 16. I totaled her when I was 18. 4 months later my parents deicided to buy me a slow ass car, and wouldnt put me in a manual car again (because they think they are too fast!...lol)......3 years later, I made the CL faster than the VR-4....so looks as if they cant seem to win when it comes to speed and me.

The history:
Bought for $800 stock, when I was 16 (Im now 17) drove her from 192,000 miles to 209,000 miles. The car saw 4 transmission's. The automatic transmission brok, replaced with another automatic transmission, that broke, then the car was changed to 5 speed, then it died, then another 5 speed, and it kept slipping into gears and then I got tired of it and sold it for $1500.

My first car was..... ok don't laugh, it was a 1981 Honda Prelude. It was originaly dark red then it faded to a pink color I liked to call salmon. (it sounded better than pink) It was a 5 speed, dark tint and a sunroof. no AC, no power steering, no nothing. I beat the hell out of that car. It served it's purpose though, and ran like a champ all the way up to 240k miles.
