What was your first car?

[mia]

[soothsayer]

1. Oh we did have a little electric car sorta like that

My brother, that is.

I had plastic one — yellow and black sports car. It was cool as heck.

[MontanaMama]

2. '73 Super Beetle.

I loved that car so much.

[rsdsharp]

32. So was mine! Orange.

[MontanaMama]

35. Mine was Kansas Beige.

I would’ve liked orange better. My beetle was my grandad’s car and I inherited it.

[cilla4progress]

36. Haha 2 of my first

were VW bugs.

[gopiscrap]

3. A 1967 Plymouth

it burned more oil than gas. I got it for a broken 10 speed bike and a case of beer. Drove it to 11 different states and 38,000 miles before I sold it for 300.00

[Dave in VA]

4. 1963 Ford Falcon Wagon

1963-FORD-FALCON-STATION-WAGON-174464

Hand me down from my dad.

[mia]

18. First car I drove...

15 years old with a learner's permit.

[Dave in VA]

22. Cool!

I was 10 years old when my dad bought that car. When I turned 16 he gave it to me when I got my driving permit.

[muntrv]

5. 84 Mazda GLC.

[Chainfire]

6. '67 Plymouth Fury; big as a boat, and loved gasoline, but it was $.29 a gallon back then.

I have bought gasoline for as little as $.19.9

[calguy]

7. 1963 Ford Galaxy

Four Door

[Walleye]

8. 1956 Buick Century station wagon with Dynaflo transmission. Peach colored

Huge engine, don’t know how many tons that car weighed. But it was fast. Got a few tickets

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. 1974 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Sedan.

Bought used with 2500 miles, for $6000.00. 2 Liter, 6 speed, 50/50 weight/DeDion back end. It reminds me a lot of my 2007 Passat that I still love cruing in. Ran great in the summer, but the all aluminum block engine and starter had some serious issues when the temps started falling.

On edit.....it was this or a 1974 MGB-GT hardtop, Hunter Green. Tough choice....

[50 Shades Of Blue]

10. '74 Chevy Nova

[XanaDUer2]

11. red 1974 dodge dart swinger nt

[dmr]

47. Mine was a 1973 Dodge Dart Sport, red with a white stripe. Brand new for $1999.00

Man, that baby had the biggest trunk. I'd pack it up to go camping with every piece of camping gear imaginable, and still had a bit of room left over. I sold it two years later to buy a 1970 Dodge Challenger. Oh was that thing sweet. It felt like I was driving in a cockpit.

Memories ...

[XanaDUer2]

59. Yes

mine leaked, though.

[leftieNanner]

12. 1963 VW Fastback

Great little car!

[OAITW r.2.0]

24. Think it was 1966 that VW marketed the Fastback and Squareback in the US.

My folks had a 1967 Fastback....1st car I drove, manual 5 speed. Dad would let me drive on side rural roads. We'd get to a hill and 1/2 way up he'd say stop. Then I had to figure the cluth/brake/gas/gear position thing.....

[leftieNanner]

25. I probably have the year wrong then!

I remember when every single one of my personal belongings would fit in that car!

The VW emblem on the hood had fallen off (I got it used) at some point, and my Dad got a BMW emblem from his mechanic and glued it on! Somebody once asked who had parked the white BMW in the driveway. It was me!! Very funny.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Great story!

I lied that the Fastback was the 1st car I drove. Actually, it was a 1961 Renault Dauphine Sedan. It was tiny, bet the engine was less than 1.2 liter. It was so small, you could drive around the house and stay on the property! It was like a go-cart with 4 days. Dad taught me to clutch, but not to shift the gears.

[leftieNanner]

29. I learned to drive on my Dad's

Chrysler Newport convertible with the push button gears.

Then he borrowed a co-worker's Plymouth with 3-on-the-tree to teach me how to drive a manual transmission.

[Budi]

13. 1970 Chevelle

17. 1974 Buick Century

I drove in high school and then my parents bought me a new car my senior year and they gave the Buick to my grandmother. Later, after I got grown, I bought the car back from my grandmother and drove it for a few more years. I eventually sold it to a guy who worked on it and got it running again and I would see it around town from time to time.

But..., not to rain on the thread, but people should be cautious divulging their own real information about answers to often-used security questions for online accounts. A diligent person might be able to piece things together and either identify you or hack one of your accounts.

Overly cautious, am I.
