Well, what was your first car?


mine was a lil white 92/93 Ford Festiva, which was writen off when a guy hit my sister in it.

My first official car was a mitsubishi magna- it was red- wrote it off in less then a week :lol: Whoops!!
Before that i was borrowing a lime green manual gemini- at least i think it was a gemini- was so COOL it was still in miles per hour :wub:
smp971
Mine was a bright pink suzuki sierra, with a soft top....ultimate barbie car....boy did I get some weird looks in that one :lol:

I will never own a convertible again though, after a drive on a summers day with the top down....worst sunburn EVER <_<
Tarantula
mine was some kinda match box car haha

Is this a car we bought for ourselves, or does one someone bought for us (even though it was their choice) count too?

In which case a 2000 Hyundai Accent is what I was "given".

.. as far as buying my own car goes? I won't need to do that for another few years still :D

Mine was a beige Datsun 180B - I loved that car!! Didn't even have it that long before a drunken asshole driving a Kingswood station-wagon ran through a give-way sign & wrote it off - of course, being drunk, his insurance was null & void so I had to pursue him through the courts for the cash. :angry:

Mine was a Black Daewoo Lanos! I was very impressed! first car was brand new right off the line!

smp, after the festiva i moved to a suzi sierra soft top, but a nice red :)

was an awesome car :) i loved driving with no top on, i still remember the day doing 120km/h thru the hills and a damn bird clipping the top of the windscreen and then rolling over and hitting my head. lol.

and as for my drunk mates in the back with no top.... poor other cars got mooned :lol:

still got the car, but after it made friends with a stoby pole and rolled over, i didn't put it back on the road. use it just on the proeprty and it now has the top totally cut off :D

SUPERSHOOTER
My first car...well...if you include the HQ Kingswood that my dad gave to me and my bro, that I only ever drove once, then that'd be it. I'll never forget the night me and my bro picked it up, it was rainy as hell...

Jason: "Tell me when I am on that side of the lane"
SS: "You're on it"
Jason: "Oh shit, same on this side"

25minutes later on a backstreet...

Jason: "HOLLYWOOD!!! Did you see that, I did a full 180 and then made the car take off without stopping"

Otherwise my 'first car' is the beast that flies around Adelaide that is a red 92 Barina/Swift tongue.gif
Although I have to stop driving around when I am moody tho :S

my SX-R has the sports seats from the ZR, leather steering wheel / gear knob and hand break, and cruise control.. but i have no idea how to use it!

It's a nice car... i've always loved the celica (except the new ones... they look good, but no matter what you do with it there is no way to change the shape.. it will always look like the Celica) ... do you get what i mean??
BOOSTING
I had for my first car a 77 celica which was fun till i blew up the motor. It then got the paulie special veacles treatment. Put it on straight gas (no petrol), put a 2.0L import twincam in there, fitted a supercharger, all the suspention was upgraded, limited slip diff, levan rear disk breaks, RA60 vented fronts, whiteline swaybars, I recon it was one of my all time favorite cars i miss her. from a standing start at the bottom of willinga hill she would hit 180kph plus near the top which was good for a 18 year old aprentice mechanic hehe.
teesha
my first car was a LH Torana (4cyl), then I had a VL commodore, then a VS commy, then a VK commy, then a VP commy and now I have a VT (V8 Manta) Commy..... nearly had the full range...
(hehe)

best car was my VL but wouldn't trade my VT in for anything now..... gotta love the V8 power biggrin.gif

blue 1987 1.5 litre dual carbie honda civic hatch....

i loved it to bits., had the jap spec series 1 crx engine in her and loved sittting about the 6and a half grand on the tacho.

it got written off in 2004 when a camry station wagon towing a trailer full of bricks and a lawnmower crashed into the back of me at about 70km/hr while i was stopped at a red light...

insurance money went towards a computer and the rest went towards tequila!!!


still searching for an AW11 MR2 that takes my fancy, that's what i've wanted since yr 9.
