In HS, 1987 grey Ford Escort. a hand-m- down from my mom.  The first car I bought on my own was in college, a 1999 blue Hyundai Accent. That car was awesome and it was my first stick shift! I love it some much.

1996 Toyota Tercel, burgundy. I loved that car! It was a lease, though, so I gave it back a few years later.


eta: found a pic. Mine looked just like this one but in a burgundy color:

1987 Plymouth Reliant K. I got it when I was 15 1/2 and had it until my freshman year of college. I have a lot of good memories of it. Boy, if cars could talk...

1984 Honda Accord LX Hatchback. 5 speed. That car got me everywhere! Rain, snow, sleet, dark of night - I could always depend on it. Then I traded up to a 90 Honda Prelude - god I loved that car. Then a 95 VW GTI, a 92 Toyota Camry and now.... my newest love of my life - a 03 BMW 325i fully loaded - sport pkg, premium pkg, navigation system (she talks to me!) I named her Tabitha. Cheesy I know, but I love this car!!!!

mine was a AMC Rambler that was baby blue and navy. I looked something like this.


I actually was voted as having the "ugliest car" in high school. Cannot imagine why. Later on we gave it to my grandfather and he totaled it after running a red light that he said "never turned red" so he never looked, he would just go right through the light. When they were hauling the car away on the wrecker, he shook his head and sadly remarked in his thick Cuban accent, " Poor little car, i killed it."  That's one of my favorite grandpa stories.

Mine was a 1994 (I think) Ford Taurus that my brother and I got to share in 1996. It was a sparkly blue-green. Idiot me left the windows down on it one day when I was at a summer job in a place that had no windows, so I didn't know when it rained that day! The car was completely soaked and developed horrible mildew. We tried to clean it out and it smelled so horrible we couldn't drive with the windows down for weeks until the mildew cleaner smell went away. Besides that, the brakes were terrible and once they went almost completely out. The windshield broke twice. A friend told me once that "Ford" stands for "fix or repair daily."

A white and olive green Ford Pinto circa 1976, I got it in 1979 and it had the recall papers because Pintos could blow up if hit from behind.

In April-May 2004, I started out in my dad's 1994 blue-green Chrysler New Yorker. I joke that it was a luxury boat.

In November 2004 I had to get another car because you had to pump the gas a certain way to get it to start if it was cool and damp. Dad had to drive an hour and a half on more than one occassion to start it for me.

I now drive my first "official" car that I bought, a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. I'm looking at trading it in though because of gas prices.

I this its awesome that everyone LOVED their first cars - even if they cost $100 and never ran right!


My first car was a 1984 (I think) Ford Tempo - maroon - 2 door. I loved every moment spent in that car! It was my ticket to freedom :)


I think I had it about a year and it developed an awful oil leak, I thin I was putting more oil into it then gas! I used to keep bottles of oil in my backseat LOL


The day I signed up for college, I had to get shots at the school. I got it to the school and got out of the car and it had a little fire under the hood! I was shaking so bad that the nurse thought I was nervous because I was getting shots. I went back outside, the fire was out, all was well and....


Stupid stupid me then DROVE IT HOME! I think it lasted another month after that

A 1987 Saab 900 S.  I loved that car.  I inherited it from my parents when it was 9 already - it was the longest lived car ever.  When it finally died - it had the original clutch!  I learned to drive on it, drove it all through college and law school - and it never let me down.  It was the most reliable (though high maintenance) car ever.  I had to give it up finally when I started working - and as soon as I can save up for a new one - that's what I want.
