What Was Your First Car

[-E-]

My first car was a 1991 Chevy Cavalier which cost me about 800 bill$ AC didnt work in the summer and the heat didnt work in the winter <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> damn thoes NY summers and winters

[RedSuns]

my first ride was a 1985 ford Ranger Special Edition 3/4th cylinder...i wouldn't go over 65mph.....i drove it on 3 cylinders for two years.....gooooood it was slow...i did put a 3chamber flowmaster on it with dual tips....it sounded like a BEAST!!!!....slow as BALLS thou...

[Thurazor]

My first and current car is my '91 Dodge Stealth ES. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

lol just kiddin.. (sorta heh)

my first car was a honda civic.. &nbsp;not because i wanted it
so dont get the wrong idea.. &nbsp;it was temp till i could get a 300zx or 240sx.. &nbsp;but i hated it so much i traded it for an altima.. then traded that 9 months later for a 240sx.. (with mad payments lol..)

[HaLo]

My first car was a 1985 Honda Accord LX with automatic tranny. &nbsp;Slow as hell. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[SimpleS14]

My first car is the car I'm driving now, 1995 240SX SE. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[guidot]

First car: 1982 Buick Skylark with a 2.5L I-4. &nbsp;0-60 in a day. &nbsp;Tranny broke, could chirp second gear tho (auto).

Second car: 1988 Mercury Tracer (still in the family, looks like a Mazda 323), 1.6L I-4 82hp. &nbsp;0-60 in 12sec. &nbsp;Almost as much fun as the 240 (sad to say, especially with no exhaust &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;).

Third: 1996 240. &nbsp;Nothing else to say &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[MorganS13]

My first car was my 93 240 which is still running great after beating the piss outta it for ~4 years (and 50k miles), can't beat that &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

my second car is a 97 Explorer Limited V8 AWD which is pretty damn nice.... but definitely no 240 replacement

[nissan&#39;s_fury]

91 camaro rs &nbsp;with a 305 v8 5 spd &nbsp; very nice car. &nbsp;but i still had to move on <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[SaintlyCharBoy]

the first car i owned was an 83-ish caravan, 4 banger 5 speed
no tach, it had a little green "shift now" led
it only went 60... period

the first real car i drove was my folks' 93 camry wagon, it was fun, built for 7 but could hold 9 people... lil party wagon

now: 95 240 the only one worth the money into it

[gabossie]

1992 Diahatsu Charade. Good reliable car, sloooowwww.

[aqwkmf]

the sig says it all

[avextrax]

My first car was a 1978 Porsche 924.
The second is a 1990 Nissan Axxess.

I currently drive the MBZ (3rd) and Toyota (4th), below.

hell yeah. I also had an old ass cavalier, not sure of the year but i think somewhere out of the 80s. It ran on 3 out of 4 cylinders and took forever to get to the speed limit. I got it for free though when my friends bought a new car so i'm complaining.

[BBSHT240]

my first car was a 1964 olds cutlass with hydraulics 10 switches, 2 pumps, 8 batteries in the trunk, Dayton Wire wheels, The car was like brand new 45000 orig miles It was bad ass but hydraulics are a pain in the ass and very expensive.

[basemies]

i've had 5 cars:

1st - 1983 oldsmobile toronado. &nbsp;5 liter v8, decent acceleration, fwd. &nbsp;it was a very very comfortable car for long trips, handled 4 wheeler/dirt bike trails very well.

2nd - 1990 oldsmobile delta 88. &nbsp;i wanted a celica alltrac at this point, but instead i got this piece of shit. &nbsp;cloverleafs were restricted to about 40 mph, and that was pushing it to the limit. &nbsp;not as comfortable as the toronado.

3rd - 1988 honda civic dx. &nbsp;this car was $20. &nbsp;it needed a gas tank, which was $35, and the hardware was $15. &nbsp;no other parts were replaced over the 2000 miles i put on it in the 3 weeks i had it. &nbsp;i drove this car hard as hell on dirt, it was alright.

4th - 1986 toyota corolla gt-s. &nbsp;i drifted this car around every corner possible. &nbsp;i learned how to change a rearend after meeting a curb. &nbsp;i learned that fixing the rear brakes after replacing a rear end is important after i met up with a guardrail and ended this cars life. &nbsp;this was a great car, but it cruised at 4500 rpms, 5th gear at 80 mph. &nbsp;

5th - 1989 nissan 240sx. &nbsp;red coupe, 94k miles, excellent condition interior and exterior. &nbsp;my favorite car so far, with the hachiroku as a close 2nd.

[-E-]

the one thing I hated about my Cavalier was that the bracket for the driver seat was broken on the right side so every time I made a right turn or sharp turn the seat would tilt to the left <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[240Driver39]

My first car was a 92 sentra SE, auto, half decent mileage, got it for 2k, but sold it about 8 months later to get my current car, 91 240sx SE 5spd <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> The sentra never had a problem and i got more for it than i payed for it. Just lacked in power/styling/and it was auto, wanted manual. I think i found all 3 with the 240 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[HippoSleek]

1967 VW bug convertible. &nbsp;Red, fully polished Porsche alloys, lowered, Recaros and a boomin' system.

[240 2NR]

The first car I drove on a regular basis was my parents 88 Mazda 626. &nbsp;That car taught me and my sister how to drive and after 135,000+ plus still hasn't had a clutch replaced (though that &nbsp;doesn't mean it doesn't need one, though it never slips).

Last year I bought m first car, my current 93 240.

You guys gotta give me props for this -

1st car &nbsp;- '81 200sx auto
2nd car - '85 200sx 5-spd
3rd car - '92 240sx SE 5-spd
4th car - '97 240sx LE 5-spd

I have loved everyone of these cars. You would be suprised at how similar these cars are to each other. I just wish there was a way to move on to the next SILVIA &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

We gotta get you off the streets. &nbsp;You're personally destroying the S13 population!

[AKADriver]

First was a 1995 Dodge Neon Sport Coupe... packin' the 150hp DOHC and 5 speed... Ran a [email protected] Drove it like I stole it, sold it when it started to rust (thanks road salt)

For a while I also had a 1986 200SX hatchback 5spd. &nbsp;It was slow and ran shitty, then I passed it on to a friend who replaced the fuel filter, which transformed it into a competent car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'> &nbsp;I had this alongside the Neon because I was planning on doing some major work to the Neon and needed a ride to work. &nbsp;But, you know how that story ends.

The Neon's replacement was my current GTI, which is a lot quicker to begin with. &nbsp;Plus it has a great stereo and rattles *slightly* less.

But then I got the two-car bug again for some reason this past winter and bought my S13. &nbsp;This time the S13's the project, though, as my GTI is mostly what I'm looking for mechanically.

[uiuc240]

1987 VW Jetta GL automatic. &nbsp;Sleeper grey. &nbsp;Fastest it would EVER go is 100. &nbsp;That's it. &nbsp;Flat out. &nbsp;Got it for $3600. &nbsp;Traded it in for $2200 two years later for a...

1990 Acura Integra LS hatch 5 speed. &nbsp;Maroon. &nbsp;Awesome car. &nbsp;Went 130 down a mountain pass in Colorado once. &nbsp;Loved every minute of driving that...just as I was about to start putting money into it, some tool in a Sentra in a Chicago snowstorm spun out on I-57 and totaled it. &nbsp;Grrrreeeeat. &nbsp;I drove a Neon for 2 weeks while the insurance company decided what to do. &nbsp;Neons are GREAT for humping portable stop signs at Meijer. &nbsp;They suck at EVERYTHING else. &nbsp;Then, I jokingly asked my rich aunt if she had any "extra" cars. &nbsp;She said yes, and that for the price of shipping, I could have her....

1989 Nissan 240SX coupe. &nbsp;Maroon. &nbsp;Only goes 118...but hits the limiter HARD. &nbsp;I probably dump way more money into this car than I should. &nbsp;But it's worth it. &nbsp;Especially on days like today when some dude in a Civic pulls up next to me and starts ogling so hard it looks like his eyes are going to pop out. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[LanceS13]

1st--1990 Pontiac Grand Am, auto, blue/grey with peeling clear coat. &nbsp;It had cold a/c, decent factory stereo/speakers, and handled every bit as well as a tug boat pushing a barge.
2nd--1995 Chevy Z-71 Off Road Package 4x4, auto, black/beige. &nbsp;Nice truck. &nbsp;Taught me alot about vehicle control and demension: &nbsp;I remember driving that thing between parked cars, my side mirrors barely clearing their roofs. &nbsp;It still serves duty as the family work truck/backup vehicle.
3rd--1995 Honda Accord EX, auto, light blue. &nbsp;Couldn't ask for much more from a mid-size sedan (except maybe a little more power...and a 5spd. woulda been nice). &nbsp;Leather interior, good factory stereo system plus 2 8's in the trunk. &nbsp;This is the car I first attempted autox'ing in...and auto of all things. &nbsp;Needless to say, that didn't last long, so...
4th--1992 Nissan 240SX Fastback Base, 5spd., sandstone. &nbsp;Hard to ask for a better handling car (stock suspension w/ 127K miles) for $3K. &nbsp;It handles better now, and will moreso when I'm done with it. &nbsp;My only complaints: &nbsp;factory stereo sucks, and Sandstone ext./Beige&Brown int. is blah.
(near future)5th--1987 Ford Ranger XLT, 5spd., maroon/black. &nbsp;Something to get me around while my car is under the knife for the turbo/rebuild. &nbsp;Many thanks to my dad for letting me borrow it. &nbsp;(I just hope it works after setting up for 4yrs.)

[thelinja]

1st car: 1984 Crown Vic, aka The Sheet Metal Rocket. &nbsp;Driving it was like a magic carpet ride. &nbsp;You just glided down the road. &nbsp;Never asked much, just a fuel pump and oil changes.

1st car: 1986 Plymouth Voyager - 4cyl Mitsubishi engine.... mmm... nothing like the smell of an over-revving engine with a carb running rich... (3-speed auto transmission = way past red-line to keep up with my friend's Audi 4000S Quattro).
270k miles and still going....

[fodive]

my first car is my 240, and i love the donkey, its great, i spend way to much money and time on it for a 17 yr old though, but its worth it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

my first car is my current car. 93 s13 hatch!!

[coolerow]

If youre not rich, I wouldnt recommend one for you. They're friggin MONEY PITS!!!! Doesnt matter how good of a condition they're in.....

But the double takes people do when they see a sweet lookin 510 is always rewarding.

I also see many people use to own S12s (200sx) on this board, sweet!

[riot]

The first car I drove was a 1987 Ford Aerostar. &nbsp;I had to pimp that bitch to school my senior year in high school. &nbsp;It beat the FUCK out of having mommy and daddy take me to/pick me up from school. &nbsp;Heater core went so NO heat in MD winters and A/C was a huge no go...plus it was a fucking minivan.

Fall of 99 I bought a 1999 Daewoo Lanos S ($8k)...what a fucking POS. &nbsp;It was a decent car and pretty fun to drive (my first car that was stick). &nbsp;I blew the headgasket at 10,000 miles. &nbsp;After owning it for 6 months I sold it with just about 12,000 miles on it.

I bought a 00 Civic Si in the spring of 00 and loved the shit out of that car. &nbsp;I owned it for 2 years. &nbsp;I bought a 1990 civic hatchback (biggest POS evAr) with a B16 swap. &nbsp;This car had zero options, was dirty, beat up, etc. &nbsp;I had it for 2 months maybe before selling it. &nbsp;I then bought my 92 240sx, and sold the Si one week before totaling the 240. &nbsp;

I bought the 240 back from the insurance company and put it in my garage. &nbsp;I then bought my 93 del Sol...and that brings me to today.

There's such a difference between the rental car special model and the sport models it isn't funny. &nbsp;Subtle differences.. 18hp here, a rear sway bar there, a dash of 3.94 gears.. it totally transforms the car. &nbsp;Not all Neons are bad at everything. &nbsp;I'd buy another in a heartbeat if something happened to my GTI.

1) My 16th b-day present was my '94 Camaro Z28. &nbsp;Greatest first car in the world for any teen. &nbsp;Coming into the high school lot sidewayz always used to get a LOT of attention.

2) My 19th b-day was reality check for me and I had to sell my Z28 (550hp N/A and 10pts on the license) and get a '93 Prelude Vtec. &nbsp;Boy...what a wake up call.

3) Now with only 4pts on the license I sold my Lude and bought the '95 240SX. &nbsp;Time for fun again!!!
