they were great cars just not stylish enough for me (tho power wise kinda put a smile on my face)

[Redmann813]

My first car is still my current car!

[Box]

1988 Toyota Supra (wish I still had, sold for the Caddy)
1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille (still have, need to finish or sell)
1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT (good riddance)
1995 Toyota Celica ST (current car)

I saw a MKIII Supra Turbo for sale locally that went for $700. Wish had seen it, needed ignition/timing work done to it. Body and interior were great. *le sigh*

And if any of you have followed project dirty horse then you'll know that is my 1St car and my baby. Just wish I had the money to really make her what I want and give her a proper home inside. I hate leaving her sit outside

[glenn]

SAAB 900 turbo, I think it was a '83, this was like 15 years ago.

..Then I learned quickly that new driving license + young driver + saab 900 turbo = very high insurance fee..

..So my next car was a crappy Mazda 323

[storm26]

Mine first was slightly modified Renault R17 with around 120hp with around 900kg and was pure fun, despite ugly look Then I had to try out the 97 Civic VTI, which I traded for gen 6 ST, and now I have 190 gen 7

[SwissFerdi]

Am I still allowed to post if my first car is the amazing car that I have today?

1995 corolla. Loved that car. Was wrecked on passenger side which also blew out the struts. Somebody pulled in front of me and totalled that car then I got the celica.

[kurt95gt]

Yes ferdi
It just means you got it right the first time lol

[PhoenixTech]

Oh man, you're going to make me think....

89 MX6 GT Turbo, had her for 2 months before I was rearended by a Mustang driver...acting like a Mustang driver....

Bought my 5th Gen Celica after that, and have had her ever since, even though my car collection has grown.

91 Caprice (winter car in HS) - gone
00 Camaro - gone
99 TRD Tacoma - gone
94 Civic - gone
95 Corolla - still have
92 SC300 - gone
92 SC400 - still have

First car was a 89 Hyundai Excel that took a hit on the rear passenger side. So the wheel sat sideways. Not knowing anything about cars then, I would just go buy a used tire every 2 weeks when that one blew.

Its cool to hear what everyone started with

I dont think theres enough room on the thread for me to post all my old cars lol

[95CelicaST]

Started with a 1974 F-250. OEM metallic green. 460 swapped in with an Edelbrock 2965 manifold and 750 carb. That truck hauled! 6 MPG whether you were driving it like a granny or flooring it. I chose the latter until I traded it.

1992 VW GTI - 1.8L 8v 5sp. Fun little car, but had weird problems. The thermostat was shot. If you put in a new thermostat it would overheat. If you leave the broken one it runs fine. I sold that because I bought my next one.

1995 Celica ST - went from stock to this:

and when I sold it:


Before I sold it I bought this. No explanation needed:


After it spent a good deal of time in the shop being re-wired I bought a 2003 WRX. Stock at the time.


Then I missed having a Celica, so I bought a 96 ST limited.


But then I had an opportunity to trade for a MR2 a few months later, so I did.
Monster truck!

And today:

[kurt95gt]

I want the yellow one!!

[manphibian]

[jordisonjr]

65 chevy impala, 4 door, 327 in the trunk, in pieces, paid $100

my first vehicle that ran was a 72 chevy longbed, 2wd, 350, auto
there is another thread somewhere the list is long and unimpressive lol

I really wish I still had my 54 ford f100 with a 455 olds, that thing would just melt tires, not much for handling though.
