I commited to buying my fisrt car a month ago

a 98 dodge avenger (dsm motor)
 
81 Ford Escort with the 8 track. Brought it for 500.00 bucks. Title, tags, stickers,taxes,and insurance cost me about 500.00 buck tooLOL
 
Mine was a 93 olds cutlass ciera that i got in 06. I called it 'Yolanda', it was my grandmothers car that she left me. Its a maroon pearl color with a 3.3L v6, which i must admit was pretty quick when it came to accelerating. The only problem I ever had with the car was the enormous amount of 'top heavy' bodyroll when turning on any corner. That thing was a beast, i could drive through anything and it kept traction. Stopped driving it in june when the weght of a 2 ton grandma car finally caused the rear brake lines to explode and leak all over highway 544. LOL
 
Mine was a 1988 Ford Taurus stationwagon......yeah...it was free. LOL
 
I just bought my first car a few months ago

Its a 1997 Talon ESI, Not bad I guess for my first car. I'm currently looking for a job than saving up for a 95-99 eclipse gsx/gst preferably AWD
 
My first was a 81 celica and I beat the hell out of it. Donuts in every parking lot, as much off roading as possible, ect. It was probably the most fun I've had for $400. Than after about 6 months the motor went and I bought my first Talon. It was a 89 awd tsi, than bought a 93 awd tsi, thought the preludes were the shit so got a 2000 vtec, than learnt the hard way and went back to a 95 awd tsi that I'm tring to fully mod.
 
Than after about 6 months the motor went and I bought my first Talon. It was a 89 awd tsi...

It may have been made in 1989 but it's a 1990 model, I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a 1989 Talon
 
My first car was a 92 accord ex. it was auto but i gotta admit it did kick some ass!:hellyeah: In that pic i was swapping a 95 accord engine in....

my first car was a 1986 dodge daytona carrol shelby turbo z, black with gold trim and pizza wheels. that was a rough car, and working at little squeezers pretty much paid for parts and maintenance. then one day, dec 7th, 2000, i was screwing around on my way to school, had it sliding in the snow, and it went into a ditch at about 30mph...still going 30 and met someones raised driveway made of concrete...lets just say one minute i was perpendicular to the driveway, after i hit it i was sitting on top of it like i was pulling in, and the car was SCREWED...i almost bit my tounge off, but wasnt a total dumb kid, wore my seatbelt. saved my cookies.

then i drove an 84 chrysler fifth avenue. the Grandpa Beater 500! that thing was slow...
next up was a 72 dodge charger with mild 318 and posi..boy was that fun...sold it for first kid...
88 monte ss, what a piece
and now the talon is my fun car
 
mine was a 1991 gsx with a vr4 swapped into it with 273 awhp with an auto trans.. 25lbs of boost until i melted cyl. 1 and 4 LOL but it still ran when i yanked the head off it just missed out a lil and smoked.. but it still smoked little mx3s all day :D

My dsm! I bought it a few weeks before I turned 17 for $250. The timming belt had snapped at 114xxx and it was smashed in the bumper/fender. My Dad and I rebuilt it over the next 4 months and I've been driving it ever since. Turbo motor should go in this summer! Can't wait! :thumb:
 
Do antique tractors count? It was manual and the mower lowering device could be quite challenging!

First car was a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee... Couldn't afford the gas (11 MPG), so I got my 98 RS... It was a big change, but well worth it! (Minus the whole lack of horsepower I now have... :hellyeah:)
