17 years old, drove my mom's 1997 Civic EX coupe.... it was an automatic, and now that I look back upon it that was the most boring car I've ever driven. But it was a nice car mechanically and visually, somewhat, so I shouldn't complain.

18 years old, bought my first car independently, 1995 Integra sedan with clearcoat failure on the hood, roof and trunk. I learned how to drive stick on this thing and its kinda fun, but not much to look at. Was cheap though, and I fixed a couple of things on it, replaced altezzas and fart can with OEMs. Still have it now, gonna move on after a couple more paydays.



My mom promised me the 3.2TL-S once I turn 21, but I drive it on the weekends anyway, with her consent of course.

 

06 Brand spanking new Acura TL/Navi, at the age of 18

 

1974 Toyota Corona coupe @ age 17 (circa 1985).

 

I've been driving my mom's 2004 TL 6MT since I was 15, working on my permit. Now I'm driving her 2006 TL 6MT. I'm currently saving up some money to buy my own car indepently, hopefully a RX-7.

 

And from your rep points i can see you probably abuse the hell out of it

 

15 / 1983 Cavalier Station Wagon

Worked on it till I was 16, and then continued working on it till I got rid of it . That car defined Money PIT

 

First drove my mom's 91 Lexus LS 400, then my dad's 95 GMC Suburban 1500.

Now, my 97 2.2CL

The 1971-1973 Mustangs were the low, wide and long Mustangs (i.e. including the "flatback" sportroofs and Mach 1s) before the Mustang IIs and Fox chassis. I couldn't post an image, but several are here:

I think I like the 60's Mustangs a lot more and now I know why.

 

I miss my 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera SL. I had some good times with it.

 

2004 Acura TSX with 8 miles on it at 16, a month after I got my liscense.

 

1979 Honda Accord HB ... 17 years old and completely ungrateful. God I was an ass back then.

 

16 years old

1997 Honda Civic Coupe

 

17, 1984 Mercury Topaz. This one is not mine but it looked just like it, right down to the color.

 

16 - acura 3.0CL.

 

Me too-- I got the '72 in the heat of the moment.
I prefer the '67-'68 GT fastbacks (see "Bullitt") and the '69-'70 fastbacks (Boss 302 and original Mach 1s), all of which also had better ergonomics than the 71-73 Mustangs (some of us couldn't change radio stations with the shoulder belt on in those non-inertia reel days!).

 

For some reason, I love this car...

I could see it RWD with a V8 swap...

Damn, I'm weird...

 

Wouldn't a Tempo with a RWD V-8 basically be its predecessor, the Ford Maverick with a 302? I learned to drive on my dad's powder-blue 4-door Maverick with a 302...

Yes, you're weird, but have lots of company here.

 

Wasn't the Maverick more of a "Muscle car" type?

I'd take that 84 Topaz exactly the way it is, 4 doors, chrome trim around the windows, and exposed bumper styling...

Just something about it that I like, kind of like the Pintos... nothing special about them, but I always stare if I see one on the road (rarely )

Ballin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My first car is the 03 acura TL at age 19
I had to work for it myself. my mom wouldnt buy me a car. grrr.. she doesnt want me to have one cuz insurance is too high and it is.
I love my car. I love driving with the wind blowing my hair. hahaha. sexy..

 

2002 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 a few months after turning 17.

 

95 Accord LX when I was 16yo

 

First car that I purchased and owned was my '67 XKE Roadster = talk about wishing I still had it! This was in 1972, one owner, mint condition and it had only 33,000 miles on it. It was at the low point of XKE values and cost me all of $2200. I was 22yo and two weeks out of graduating from college, I always said I'd buy one for myself so as soon as I got a job offer I did it. Kept it for about ten years.


ahhhh, the mammaries. Just yesterday my '89 Legend, only 150,000 miles and still running well, bit the dust; the front steering rack is totally gone, not worth the money to fix it.

 

Metalic sky blue '93 Olds Cutlass Ciera.

Loved it.

 

'81 mazda 626 @ 16 y.o.

First car I bought myself, '01 Acura CL-p @ 19 y.o.

First brand new car, '06 Legacy GT, @ 23 y.o.

 

1996 Honda Civic @ 18

I shared a '94 Accord with my mother before that

 

1988 Accord LX @ 16 years old.

Had to pay $600 for a clutch replacement only 2 days after I had the car. It really wasn't my driving(I had barely touched the car), but it made me so broke that I forced myself to master manual shifting to a point that the clutch always outlasts my cars.

 

1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition @ 16

 

98 3.0CL when I was 16. Had it for 3 years, got it with about 72k miles, held up pretty well and the tranny blew at 172k, so by that time the car was pretty beat up and wasnt worth the $5k to fix it

 

A 1999 Toyota Corolla VE at age 17. Ugliest car ever the exterior looked blue or purple depending on the light. Interior was an awful design of grey blue and purple. Basic car, with no power locks or power windows. I hated it but had a great time that summer I had it. Then totaled it and got a TL, and the TL has everything I wanted so I'm happy.

 

I was 'passed down' my dad's '91 Accord EX (red one in pic below) when I was 25 as a graduation present. Until then, I was borrowing that Accord and my mom's '89 Volvo 740 (aka 'the tank').



Two weeks later, I traded it in for a 2002 Acura TL-S. I couldn't describe to you how happy I was when I picked up the TL-S. It was light-years improvement in quietness, power, and creature comforts over the Accord.



However, I still think about that red Accord ... I miss that car.

 

not really, I love my car to death, only use it to/from work and school, and it's only got around 2700miles on the Odo, been had it ever since dec. 06. my poor rep points was from all the dumb comments i make on the forum, which I could careless about, its only internet.

I bought my mustang when I was 15, though it wasn't ready to drive until I was 17

First drivable car

 

the first car that i used was my parents 1992 Toyota corolla i think at the age of 17

used that until april of 2002 just before i turned 18 and then used my sisters 2002 accord LX that my dad got for her to use at UCSC but was going to pick it up the coming fall quarter used that until about june and then went back to the 1992 corolla for summer

then i went off to college and was pretty much carless (used the corolla off and on) from september 2002 till september 2004,

in sept 2004 the corollla was going to be sold because we had 5 cars for 4 people so my parents let me use the 1997 2.5 TL at school

after that, the TL was sold in 2006 and this school year im using the 1999 MB ML320

but the 1st car i've personally owned, none
hopefully sometime this year or next ill save up for a S2000

 

1987 Honda Accord LX, champagne beige with brown cloth interior! Started driving at 17...
