Re: Your First Car?
The first car I drove was an 82 Mercury Cougar - in 1998. The windows were power windows (I know), but the car was so old, you had to hold the power window button down and then push it down with your hand, too.
The cassette player sat in the middle console. Then in 2000, I bought my first car, a 2000 Kia Sephia. Kia's sucked way worse then, but it lasted me until now. The transmission needs to be rebuilt ($2k) and the car already has 120,000 miles on it. Not even worth $2k.

Re: Your First Car?
1992 Eagle Premier
Had a baseball bat propped to hold the driver seat up because I kept breaking the seat and it would lean way way back.

Re: Your First Car?
1984 Pontiac 6000. I loved it, it idled at around 26mph but it leaked oil like a bastard. The engine eventually seized, I was pretty bummed. If I'm ever loaded I'll buy one just to drive the beast around for kicks.

Re: Your First Car?
1978 VW Dasher hatchback, gas engine, 4 spd manual in 1991. 78 hp, 0 - 60 in 13+ seconds, 1/4 mile in 19+.
(Not my pic, mine was dirt brown.)  At the time, it was the lowest value car listed in KBB. They obviously overvalued it as it was a complete money pit. Aftermarket AC that never really worked and it ate a radiator cooling fan fuse weekly (not by blowing it but by melting, yes melting, the fuse element on a 30A glass fuse). When the strut mounts rusted through the body I finally put it out to pasture. Funny thing about it was that I was missing a hubcap set for one wheel (above pic has aftermarket wheels). I still saw some on the road and my friends swore we would find one to swipe and complete my set. I only saw one, once, with even a single hubcap and this specimen had FOUR! Too bad it circled the parking lot of the movie theater we were at and left, without parking.

Re: Your First Car?
A 1989 Buick LeSabre. It was my Mom's car, but she let me use it whenever she got home. I had the radio cranked and easily destroyed all four rims on curbs.
