My first car was a BMW 2002tii. I would buy it back in a second if I had the garage space. I actually keep my eye out for one and when I dind a nice one I will probably buy it.

I'd love to see what my first new car looks like now. It was a '92 Civic Si. I sold it in '95 to a teenager. It's probably been defiled with stickers, crappy rims and cut springs for years.

I'd love to buy it back if I could.

Absolutely. My first was a 1993 Ford Probe. I had a for 5 years with minimal problems, except for a check engine light that went on and off for reasons the dealer could never explain. It is just something about your first....

'98 Cobra, in a heart beat. Mostly because it was such a fun car and all the memories attached to it. I wouldn't trade back though for sure, too much of a highschool thing...

YES My first car was a 65 Olds 442. My grandparents bought new and I finally got it 14 years later, it had a little over 30,000 miles. To this day I still don't know why they bought it. According to my dad they went in to purchase 98, and saw the car on the showroom floor, and fell in love with the color. I was forced to sell it 2 year later, kept going through brakes every 4-6 weeks. 65 was the last year the car was available with 4-wheel drum brakes. In 66 front discs became an option.

Oh yeah, it was a '97 4Runner 4WD. I had so much fun in that car off roading. On top of it, I had lots of memories in that car from high school. Too bad it got totaled, but it did sacrifice itself to save my life.

Man I still have my first two cars 1998 5.98 GC Lmited and 1999 V6 Alero. But both are back home in NY. I miss my Alero so much I loved beating the shit out of that thing. It took so much abuse. I actually went to test drive one last week and when my parents come down here to visit in a few weeks I made them rent an Alero. It won't be modified like the one back home but the feeling will be there. Can't wait till I get home in December to drive the Jeep and the Alero. As of now niether of those will be sold.

Do you REALLY think I would want a 74 Ford Maverick 6-Cyl parked next to my CL-S in the garage ??? I think not.

I think AGE has a lot to do with this question.
First cars for some of you were only a few years ago. Mine was in 1983.

Hey that's the year I was born. Don't have a clue why I added that little bit of info in but it's late so whatever. But I agree in 18 years I doubt I will want a 98 Jeep or 99 Alero.

88 Honda Accord LX-i(no v-tec was out then) bought it with 100 grand on the ticker sold it with about 160 or 170. had the Eclipse system in it. I liked it but i didn't like it. It was a good car (far as quailty ) but the power wasn't there. but i had these wicked chrome 14 or 15's(i don't know the brand or model cause i got em used)(and i know 14 or 15s are small now but they we're cool) plus i had a BIG No Fear(american flag one) across the blue section of my front windshield.
anyhow yes and no i don't wish i still had it. your probably wondering why i didn't keep em for my new accord
#1 cause it's a 15 for sure on my new accord
#2 the dude said he'd only buy it if the 2 sets of rims went with it. so at that point they had to go.

HELL NO.
My first car was a 97 Ford Escort. That thing sucked. But my second car, 88 Prelude, I love that car. I'd keep it if I could. I had to get rid of it but didnt want it to be abused by some stranger so I gave it to my uncle.

Hell yea I'd buy it back. I miss my truck ssssooo much. So many memories from high school and first 2 years of college. It was a 96 Ford Explorer that I got for my 16th birthday brand new in the driveway. Well it was a major chick magnet with 20s Niche Bella. I still want my truck back.
