First car I drove was my dad's Ford Anglia 105E - the 'performance' model :)
Then a Chevette ( not the HS :( ) , Avenger ( not the Tiger :( )
Then 'company car' of a matra Bagheera 'S' - the start of a long love affair !!First car I owned - Mini 998 with hi-lo variable suspension, ported/polished head, 2-branch exhaust. Roll cage and sump guard :)

My first car was a 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe 4-door sedan.
216.5 cu. in. inline six and three speed manual column shift.
It was a tank of a car that would do 80 mph with the accelerator nailed to the floor.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have it now!

89 Mercury Tracer hatchback. Good car actually. Not a looker and not fast, but very dependable and great gas mileage. In fact, it's still around. My cousin drives it now :P

The first car i drive (excluding the one i learn to drive at the driving school) is an old '80 Toyota Corolla KE70. It's my dad's and the car is 5 year older than me :D .
Here's the pic :D and i dare to say that the car has the best condition in my town compare to other cars of the same age. My dad is not a tuner, but he loves his car like he loves the family (and the car is part of it :D )
The first car i'll own would probably be the same one, as my dad is going to give it to me!! He say he is getting old and would have some physical problem, so he is getting an AT car soon if we got enough money. And i'll be saving money to get a new engine as the old one almost ran out of life :( and drink fuel faster than a camel can drink water... ok not that fast... :p

yeah i choose the mud flap together with my dad, we ask the shop owner to bring out all the colors he had and we compare one by one... and the owner of that accesory shop sees that we like our car so much he install it for us without extra payment :D
actually it's my dad's "bride's car".. you know.. chinese tradition.. you use your car (decorated with flowers and such) and pick up the bride at her place and bring her over to your house for the wedding ceremony(christian go straight to the church tho..). I hope it will be mine again in 10 years time :o but i have to get a gf first :p
24 years ago that car cost RM18,000. My dad get a bank loan and he works as a teacher that time, and boy! its only reacently that i know that he likes cars alot back in his teen years.. and he shows me alot of car catalogs in those days plus a toyota magazine in the year 1987.. lol rally cars back then is so funny. To bad i don't have a scanner to scan it so you guys can see (its in chinese tho...)

A datsun Stanza, i softof inherited it, great car to learn in, all you have to is put oil n petrol in it, service it and itll never ever let you down. :)
RX7 FC in december!!! :D
My first car: Luego Velocity XT (with locost bodywork)
This means: The Velocity bodywork isnt true to the whole Lotus seven thing beacuse sill people want to put Pinto's and the like in them so the Velocity bodywork is very high. The locost bodywork is for locost engines so it is much lower, making the whole car look nicer.

But now it looks like I might be importing my mom's '98 VW Golf 1.6L to the States with me, which is perfectly fine.
If I had my choice for a first car I'd be getting a '68 Chevy Chevelle SS... hell yeah.
