I'm going through my pictures and found a picture of my Explorer the first weekend I had it. Found it significant since I am looking for my second car. So, my question to you, is, what was your first car? Do you have a picture? Did you clean and wax it like you do now?

First weekend home after what I considered at the time a good detail. I think I used the Wally World specials because I was in High School at the time and was 17...

This was my first car....

This is a pic off of google but the same year and model - 69 Plymouth Satelite. Mine was white and had 60,000 original miles on it ( in late 90's). I was stripped of this car when I decided to join the military instead of going to University of Tennessee ( I had a scholarship). The sad thing is that I could have cared less about cars back then lol...... so all I did was drive it around as transportation. Now the car is rotting in my family's barn out in the country :( . I want it back - but my father has that, a 60 impala, a 74 Mercedes 230, and a couple of other rides just rotting and won't give them up unfortunately. But this was my first ride..... wish I had it again!
 
Mine was a 1980 Chevy Malibu 4 door with a 3.8 V6, needed some TLC, and got it from a guy that passed away for free... Wish I had kept that car, could have been a nasty sleeper....
 
That looks like a sweet ride to have! I almost bought an 88' Trans Am GTA, black on beige. It was in MINT condition. To this day, I do not know why I opted for the Explorer... Though the Explorer does not, and can not get stuck in the gross winters in MA.
 
1977 ElCamino with a 350 4bbl,dual exhaust,chrome rims and 70's in front with 60's out back.
 
1962 Dodge Dart with push button Transmission. Man that thing was a beast

My first car was a 1986 Monte Carlo LS. I hit so many trash cans with that thing, haha.
 
My first car isn't as cool as some of you guys. I had to drive a Caravan for a couple months before the family got the 4runner.

Thats awesome! I thought I was the youngest guy in history to operate a minivan at 20 lol (a few years back by the way lol)....... but guess you got me beat!
 
It wasn't even a decent one, everything was falling apart. No AC and no power window. It was a nightmare every time I had to drive it. There was a few time, when driving I would gas and nothing would happen. I had to pull over the side and wait 5-15 mins to restart the car.

I love my new car now, I don't have to worry for another 7-10 years if I'm lucky.
 
My first car was a FIAT TIPO 16.00 year of 1990.with electronics dash.I had this for almost 10 years and then i recycle it:xyxthumbs:
 
This BEAST. Not. Got it for cheap from a friend. Had a bit of damage, but fixed it up and got it running great! Kept it uber clean and sold 'er when I was 17.

My first car was an 88 Chevy Celebrity in the rare 2 door! lol Had a little 4 banger in it and thing could not be killed! My rents bought it for me for my graduation gift from high school for $800. Needed a new exhaust and a radiator. After that I drove it for 2 years, then my sister drove it for 2 years before the gas tank and gas lines rotted out on it.
 
My first car was a 77 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ with 400 motor in it. That car would haul Im the MAN
 
This was my first car. A 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V Emilio Pucci Edition. I got it back in 1987. The speedometer was broken, the radiator was clogged and the engine overheated on long drives. Good days!
