1973 Mercury Comet, purchased for $1900 in 1975. I drove it for eight years, replaced the muffler five times, and sold it for $400.

Mine was an Opel Cadet at age 21 am now 60. I don't have a pic & don't really remember too much about what it looked like.

It was late 1991 @ age 15, my dad bought me my first car... a 1972 Cadillac Sedan DeVille... how I miss that car! I turned 16 on March 5, 1992, but took my driving test in my aunts "nearly new" 1991 Honda Accord. lol.

Do you remember your first car and when it was you had it?

Growing up,most of my friends had little Japanese cars,although knew one guy who had a Monaro.
I liked the XB/XC Falcons,nice looking cars and performed well with the 351 Cleveland.

Yep mate we all had big cars here. My first ride was a 5.7 liter V8 XC Ford Falcon '78 model before my brother destroyed it. It was mint condition, beautiful metallic gold paint, massive V8 engine that literally turned heads as did the car itself.......... and my dumbass bro destroyed it.

My current car is a 6 cylinder wagon, 1999 models 215 horsepower.... it goes fast but it won't turn heads like the '78 V8 did
