My first car was actually a 1980-something Mitsubishi truck hand me down from my dad. Had so much fun with that lil 4 banger through high school. Also learned how not to drive fast on a dirt road on a blind curve in it. Hit a big farm truck after fish tailing into it. Got it back together after that with the help of my dad, but the truck was blue, and I had to replace the drivers side door with a yellow one. It was featured in my senior year book as a joke cause of the banged up bed and the yellow door. I also learned later on with that same truck how the engine will seize up if you do not change the oil regularly. So a lot of lessons learned with it, and a lot of fun had in that truck too. It wasn't a chick magnet, but lets just say it didn't stop them either.
Right about the time I was killing the blue bishi, I was joining the Army, so I ended up buying my first GM car. A 1996 Chevy S10 4 banger. Was basic as ****. No radio or speakers, power nothing, and was a manual. Loved that truck. After owning my first Chevy, I have since bought nothing but Chevys, a Cavalier, Blazer, and Trailblazer. Around 2001-02 I bought my first Camaro. A 1997 V6 A4 and have driven nothing but Camaros since and it will continue that way. In 2009 alone, I owned 3 different 4th Gen Camaros, the V6, a 93 Z28, and now the one in the sig, the 02 Z28. I can't wait for the 5th Gen Z28 to come out.

not many will even know wtf my 1st car is, it was a 1980 oldsmobile starfire. 110hp 3.8 v6. but i was 16 and had a car, although hideous, it was deemed cool. we even gave it a nickname, "the clank mobile" because it sounded like it was going to fall apart any second. i loved it because it was rwd, and i could spin the hell out of the bald bicycle tires i had on it (all i could afford)

86 Camaro, 2.8 5 speed. Ttops, power windows, being a teenager in 2001 of course I had the annoying subs also. No cat/muffler, tpiped two tail pipes, removed the baffles in the air boxes and two drop in K&N filters. Staggered depth Cragers. My Dad and I fixed it up and painted it. Yes like most I regret getting rid of it. A car with drum rears and no ABS will train a teenager in rainy FL real quick.

Sadly that would get stolen before your SS here in Orlando. You could have windows down, keys in the ignition, and they would still bust the windows out on your Integra and take that lol.

My first car was an 87 Buick Grand National I got form my dad in 2000 after I graduated high school. Started out with minor mods to bring it up to date. Ended up with a Cal Hartline built motor before I had to sell it when my daughter was born. I miss that car and always looking for another.
