I don't have my own car, so I borrow my dad's 11 year old ford fiesta that has 150k miles on it. I learned to drive in that car <3

I love how that gremlin ad is using it's 15.3 second 0-60 time as a selling point.

And leading up to that - it's heavier than a VW!

Isuzu Impulse Turbo- mine was white. Auto, unfortunately. Loads of fun, way underrated.

When I turned 16 my dad gave me a jeep cherokee, fairly used but in good condition, he told me this was the only help Id ever get as far as cars/insurance/money etc and to take care of it, so I could wouldnt be SOL when trying to get a new car. It was a pretty good lesson I guess. One awesome thing about the car was that teh rear windshield wiper fluid dispenser was broken, and would shoot a nice 7 foot stream of washer fluid out the back of the car like james bond.

haha i used to have a jeep cherokee as well, a '96. my rear windshield sprayer was broken too, exact same thing, and i could shoot a stream of washer fluid straight backwards a good distance. so much fun to be at a stoplight with a car behind you, the expression on peoples' faces when you spray them is priceless. or a couple times i would tell an unknowing friend to get out and get something out of my trunk and then Oops Pow Surprise!

edit: here's my 1st car. 91 chevy s10, red with a white stripe down the middle. the thing was a dream....

1970 VW Bug - in 1990. It had a sweet AM radio and several places in the floor where you could see the ground as you drove. Lost my viginity in the backseat, I don't think I could even to manage sit in the backseat now.

Oddly enough, I was recently thinking about this car and I think I might buy one, it was actually kind of fun to drive, basicly indestructable.

got my first car in 1993, a 1973 ford maverick. my uncle bought it new in '73 and thought it was ready for the junkyard, so he gave it to me instead. my dad and I ground out all the rust and fiberglassed everything, painted it black with gray trim, got new tires and reupholstered the interior.

the engine was a 302 V8, we replaced the carburator with a holley 4 barrel, put in an edelbrock intake, dual exhaust and a new cam. also redid the entire electrical system. really fun project, and the first time I really spent a lot of time working together with my dad, who is awesome at seemingly everything.

I'll try to scan and post a picture later.
