1997 Nissan Altima when I was 16. Bought it myself and still driving it...

 

First car was 1 '91 Civic Lx at age 14. I bought it with grass-cutting money and worked on it until I was 16. Here is the finished product. I later sold it for the Talon. I dumped a few grand it that and then traded it off for my current '02 TL-S.

Ford Mustang! V6 YO!!! @ 17 years of age ... hahaha ... and to think that was only 3 years ago :-/

 

My first car was at the age of 17. Parents bought and drove it for $400 bucks off the junkyard lot.

1977 Chevy Nova 4 door. Straight 6. Rusted to all hell oxidized paint and fugly. But hey it got me to where I needed to go.

After this beast I got the 01 CLS then bought my current 03 CLS

 

Not my actual car, but it looked like this, except it had the gold wheels. Was an awesome first car until the motor blew up on the way to the dealer.

 

My first car was one of these:



Not this one But a White 1987 Legend V6L 5 speed.

since then-

1991 Integra RS 5 speed
1994 Integra LS (stolen) 5 speed
1999 CL 2.3 5-speed

-yes there is a trend

 

16 with a '91 Sterling. made by Rover, great car.

 

1982 Honda Civic DX coupe, age 21. Totalled it driving cross-country after a tire blew at 70 mph. It rolled 4-5 times, landing on its roof. I was belted and walked away with only minor scratches. Have bought almost nothing but Honda since, with a few detours.

The picture is only an example, not my car.

hehe, nice - my first was a 92 MPV @ 18, totalled it on shore parkway, now im riding in a 98 MPV allsport...

 

Damn..........
First car I bought has a 74 Chevy Vega at 18......85-90 hp, a quart of oil each four days. Now I wish I kept it to drop a 350 in it.

First car I drove was my Mom's 67 Chevy Chevelle, 283 that never burned oil. Now I wish I kept it to drop a 396 or a 454 in it.

 

at 15.5 i got a '91 passat gl. i was the only one at school who had 5 stage heated seats, power everything, and reclining rear seats.

 

At 17 I got a '91 Pontiac LeMans Hatch: 80 hp (If I was lucky) 4spd manual. It was a hand-me-down from my Dad

I tried finding a picture but it seems no-one ever wanted a picture of that car on the internet. It was the one that only had the rear view mirror on the driver side. It was like the Van Gogh of cars

 

The first car I used was my mom's Mazda 323.

The first car of my own was a 1988 Toyota Camry.

 

ah...i too am a fellow DSMer who moved on to join the acura squad.

first car was when i was 17. it was a 1999 mitsu eclipse. i was in love with that car, still to this day 2g DSMs catch my eye. beautiful cars.

now i have a 3g NBP 6MT TL. couldn't be happier.

 

some of you guys had nice first cars.

03 cl-s6 @18

 

1998 @ age 16 i bought my own

1987 Subaru wagon GL

motor burned up 30,000 miles later.

 

I had an 85 cavalier at 16 and i think every part under the hood was replaced at least once. Talk about a money pit

 

16 years old....1984 Pontiac Fiero red 4MT.....miss the pop up headlight...don't miss the leaky coolant smoking from the engine compartment in the back

 

1976 silver-blue Honda Civic. Thank gawd my brother found the honda, or I'd've had to buy the Pinto dad's coworker was selling. I was 20 at the time, and speedlimits were 65 (meaning: 80 on the straightaway). Once it carried 7 passengers. It died after throwing a rod thru the block on I-95 (after which I learned the importance of changing the timing belt when the manual says to).

 

Mine was a 2002 Mazda Protege5.

 

Watta resurrection

 

1987 Ford Mustang LX

Bought it when I was 15 years, 5 months. Registered it a week before my 16th birthday, got my permit, license 3 weeks later, and drove it for about 18 months before I sold it...

 

This, but flat brown (ala shit) with rust holes on the side. It was a very humbling experience.

 

Midnight red 1987 mazda rx-7 with 67 k miles on it. got it for $5250, what a car rotary engine was great but mileage was crap.

 

18 almost 19

 

'96 RL at 18 in 2004. And still got it.

 

Found one!! Beat This!!


Best pic I could find. This was not mine, but it was this color.
Crank windows, No A/C. It was my pimp mobile
I somehow was able to coax enough power out of it to squeel tires everyday leaving school.
Why? Cause I was cool...duh

 

I was 16.

1985 Ford LTD (midsize) in black with the 3.8 V6. Got the car for free, it developed a motor knock and I put in a new/rebuilt engine and drove it for another 2 years until it was keyed beyond recognition.
Not the actual car, but same thing.

 

First car to drive as "mine": 17 years old, hand me down from Dad.

1984-1986 Nissan Sentra ( I can't quite remember ).

I found a stock pic online:
Thats not mine of course, but its close.

Totaled that after about 6 months, then was handed down a 1998 Honda Accord. Loved that car, and was driving it until recently. Gave it back to the parents and got myself a 2005 Legacy GT. That's my new baby =).
