I don't wanna talk about it.  lol

Well done old chap.

You don't want to know about my first car. LOL

Mine was a 1989 pontiac grand am, got it in 2001. it was a real POS, but still had some get-up-and-go. A year (or so) after I got it, I pulled out in front of a plumber, and he crushed it with his big plumber van. No body was hurt at least...

Congrats, only a month behind me!

I got's myself a 97 Cavalier, ABS, airbags, manual windows & locks, tape deck (which is not bad for my use, I tell you )

good, one more person who can go to EAA in the summer!

Not unless his little pride & joy is fitted with floats & a sail.

PS. If he sets out now he might just make it.

Okay, I was able to find the one remaining person who had a picture of the thing I first had that some might call a "car".



To be fair, I've come a long way.  Here's what I currently have:




*Disclaimer:  Neither of these are my ACTUAL vehicles...just the result of a carefully chosen Google image search.  I really own them, but not those in the pictures.  lol

I don't have a license yet
But proudly own a '96 VW Jetta

First car was a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro (thank you dad!). It ran like a dream and could smoke almost anything out there. Manual tranny, obviously locks and windows were manual. And airbags? What are airbags? Didn't exist back in the day.


Had it for six years, during college I went racing one night with a few friends, bumped into my adversary doing about 120, ended up spinning and rolling it four or five times, spent two weeks in the hospital.

Currently own a 2001 Porsche Boxter. Bought it new in 2000. I love it to death, power everything, manual transmission (why would you own a Porsche with an auto?), and air bags, which is nice. Looks almost exactly like this one. Hopefully I won't roll it, but I have managed to do 120.

nice one mate, i love pugs....if you need an engine transplant im your man   lol
my first motor was a mk 1 ford fiesta xr2, in really good nick. i was only 17 so the insurance was a bloody nightmare, but it was ace fun...
since then ive owned a bmw 323i (quick), a tvr chimeara (quicker still! but too unreliable) and a few 205 gti's. i would say these are my favourite motors of all time, especially my current beast! oh, and ive got a boring vauxhall corsa for the missus too....blah!    :)

...power steering, ABS, Airbag and most importantly CD player...

Who in the world needs that?

I've got an ancient 106. I was hoping my sister would write it off before I got it. But alas no. Oh well, learn to drive in it then start saving for a Land Rover...
