First car was a 98 GT I got when I was 17. Learned to drive stick on it. Had it for 4 years and did plenty of mods over the years. Ended up with a Procharger P-1SC and full bolt ons. :pepper:

Close to stock:

First car I was allowed to drive was my dad's girlfriends 1996 Corsica. I molested it.

First car considered mine was my 72 Ford F100 POS. Rebuilt the motor on it, but I haven't gotten it running yet.

I'm starting the process of buying my first car. 1987 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 5 speed notch. Hopefully will get to call mine in about 2 weeks.

That's not my actual car, but that's exactly what it looked like.

AMC Eagle 4x4 station wagon. The REAL sports utility wagon that Subaru ripped off. It was my mother's car when I was growing up, and it was passed on to me when I got my license.

It had very little power, but once it got rolling it took an act of God to stop it. Had the choke freeze open on me when I floored it once, and it pushed me out through a stop sign. Hit a Monte Carlo SS and took out it's quarter panel and ripped the back bumper mount off that side. The Eagle had a small piece of rubber trim crack and that was it.

The first car I bought on my own was the truck I owned right after the Eagle, a 1993 Ranger Splash.

Was in four wrecks with that thing, none of which were my fault. Finally had an old tree fall on the thing in a thunderstorm and crush the roof in... which led to me springing for a custom paint job while it was in the body shop. I always had dreams of supercharging it's V6, but never had the money.

my first car was a 66 mustang coupe I got when I was 15. It was a total rust bucket and the motor didn't run (got it for $500) well I pulled the 6 and tranny dropped in a 302 w/ manual tranny from a 90lx coupe, go it running real good, then I started on the body work and soon realized why its best to try and find a car with a good body (sold it soon after)! the I bought an 88 lx hatchback with t-tops that I drove all through highschool (man I iwsh I still had that car!!!)

I'll date myself a little bit. My first (and only Chevy) was a '61 Chevy Bel-Air with chrome fender skirts that I got for $150 when I was 16 and newly licensed. Brakes went out the 2nd day I bought it and I hit a tree. Rearranged the letters on the hood to read "THE ROLE". Only ran on three cylinders. Sold it to a junk yard within a year for the same amount I bought it for. Upgraded to a '63 Galaxie 500 XL and have been pretty faithful to Ford and Lincoln/Mercury since then.

I had a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a slipping transmission and about 200k miles on it. I decided to run to my local autoparts store and buy every red and black neoprene "Racing" interior dress up piece I could. My pals and I got a good chuckle out of that car.

My first car I drove around was an '87 Buick Century, which my mom bought because she was getting pissed at me borrowing her car all the time. The first car I bought myself is this:

It's a 350-powered S10, and it's enough until I buy a fox body or Lightning.

This was my baby. I bought her at 17 years old in 2001. I paid cash $12,482. I saved since I was 15. Oh btw, she was bone stock when I bought her and looked like this in 2004. Current vehicle is in my sig.

First car of my own. Put me through my ricer phase. Had no engine mods, but I had halo projectors headlights, clear corners, euro tails, 17" wheels, coilovers, loud exhaust and a nice loud stereo. Eventually figured out it was a crappy car, and took off the lighting stuff. Wish I had just turbo'd it when I had the money instead of wasting it. Still, it looked good and was a good first car. I'll always like imports and would still take a nice civic to mod the hell out of. Wish I could have this one back to do everything right.
