My first car was a second-hand 1970-something Datsun 180B (which apparently was sold in the US as a Bluebird 810) which I bought in about 1977. It was a total lemon - it leaked so much that sometimes I had to get a bucket to bail out the water in the footwells after overnight rain. It was totally unreliable too.
My favourite car (which I still drive) is the Mazda MX6 I bought new late in 1993. It still goes like a rocket, has given me very little trouble (fingers crossed this doesn't change), and is great to drive. It had all the bells and whistles of the time, 4WS, sunroof, V6 engine, and automatic everything. The automatic aerial no longer works, the driver's door no longer locks (I haven't locked my car in over five years), and the boot (trunk) doesn't stay up by itself, which makes unloading groceries a little difficult... but I still love it!
First car I drove regularly but wasn't mine was my dad's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne.
First car that was mine was a 1978 Ford Thunderbird.
Favorite car was my 1987 Toyota 4WD pickup.
Current car is a 1997 Ford F-150 Supercab 4WD.
My dad had a 77 T-Bird. Now that is one long front end. Not the longest, but compared to today it sure was long. I ended up driving that car for a while. Thought I was big time with that car. LOL
My first car was a 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit. It was a white 2 door automatic with a sunroof (minus the crank handle).
My favorite car was a white 1994 Saturn SL1 with cloth seats and hand-cranked windows. It was probably the most reliable car that I have ever driven. For several years, I did a daily commute from Philly to DC, as well as numerous trips up and down the East Coast, and it never let me down. All I ever did was keep up the scheduled maintenance and when it was sold in 2009, it had over 340,000 miles on the odometer and was still going strong.
First car was a 2006 Nissan Sentra, which I drove for 1 year (From Spring 2010- Spring 2011). Then, one day in 2012, a pickup truck driver rear ended me at 45 mph and totaled my car (Thankfully nobody was sitting behind ). I rode my mom's old corolla for 1 year after that horrific crash (Hated it ). Then, I got a Mazda 3 Skyactiv last year, which is still running very well today. I hope to keep it as long as possible, because the turning radius is awesome and perfect for new jersey roads.
My Favorite car is a Black Audi A8, and I hope to buy it some day in the future .
First car, I bought for $100 in 1976. It was a white, 1962 Olds 98. HUGE! It was really good shape. Bought it from original owners. It had power windows - must've been a real luxury when it was new! The trunk was so huge, I think I could've had a party in there. lol I drove the car for two years and then sold it for $200. Not a bad investment, huh?
Favorite car is my current one, which I bought on 04/10/10. A Honda Accord EX with all sorts of extra crap on it that I didn't need but have always wanted! I paid off my last car early and then for 2 years made "pretend" car payments into a savings account so I'd have a big down payment on the next new car. It turned out to be a great plan, because otherwise I could never have afforded the Accord. I love it!
My first was a huge boat, a lot of People actually thought it was my Patents' car.
