Your first car

[Ol-Skool-Perv]

I was hitting the road earlier today and the first car I see is some kind of Dodge pos small sedan, being driven by a teenage new driver(around here, they have to put a green N magnetic sticker on the car for some sort of probation period).

It reminded me of the love I have for my first car.

Now, I believe that having a beater as your first car is mandatory if you're to enjoy moving up a few places with your 2nd and 3rd cars. It's a rite of passage and humbles you in a way that can be appreciated much later down the road. If a kid gets a brand new BMW 328ci for his 16th, he'll think the world is ending
when he finds himself without a spanking new M3 for graduation. You gotta start at the lower levels in order to appreciate the ones coming later.

My first car was a one-owner '82 Honda Prelude(with 185,000 original km) in silver, red vinyl, and power sunroof. My dad's friend let me have it for $2200 in 1994. Rightly nicknamed the "Quaalude", packing an amazing 55 horsepower and mated to a decent 5-speed manual, she was quick off the line(if I cheated a bit) and could never carry more than 1 passenger in comfort. The tires were balder than shit, the rust was beginning to plague the undercarriage, and the suspension was pretty much absorbing nothing. I eventually sold it for $50 to some duded who wanted to use it in the crash-up derby down at the fair grounds.

It was the perfect first car. Everything since has been enjoyed as a step-up from the old beater.

Your turn!:wave2:

used 1980 Ford Escort, and been using Escorts ever since (OK, not really but the pun was worth it)

I had a BADASS, 1988 Chevy S10 (hah?) It was custom lowered, spiked rims, custom paint job (black with red and dark red swirls) and two twelve inch kicker subs pushing an amazing 500 watts to each sub. But it wasn't extended cab, and it was a 4 speed manual. But I miss it, I can't count the amount of pussy that was attained with such a pimp truck.

[georges]

was a 1999 polo match II that I used then gave back to my parents because public transportation is time savvy and economical,but also because gasoline costs too much and so does insurance.
I will save for either an older audi a8 or some old american car from the 60's-70's.
