Question: What was your first car?

 

Answer: A black 89 Beretta

Answer: White '89 Honda Accord DX (4-door) when I was 21.

Answer: teal 92 cavalier

Answer: 1981 VW Rabbit.  Red.  2 door hatchback.  Stick shift.

Answer: 1953 Chevrolet 4 door. Given to me by my Grandad, in 1965.  It had some rust holes in it that I "bondoed" and then put a new paint job on it. I'd love to have one again, waxing nostalgic in my old age.

Answer: 1974 Oldsmobile Station Wagon, with a 454 2-barrel carb, top end speed: 100MPH downhill.

Answer: 1982 Ford Fairmont—red, 2 doors, as big as a tank, and it needed oil every week

Answer: 1986 burgundy Buick Riveria … it floated across the road!  I miss it.

Answer: 1980-something Chevy S-10 that had over 150,000 miles on it and it had no air conditioning.  It overheated frequently and if I sat at a stoplight or a drive through for to long it would overheat!!  My dad drove this truck and when I turned 16 he gave it to me and bought himself a new truck.  Sure it had faults, but I was a newly licensed 16-year-old and I LOVED this truck and drove it proudly until I was 19 years old.

Answer: The one I still have! A 2000 Saturn Sl white … it is named Ivan because I got it while Hurricane Ivan hit last year. Haha … I love my car!!!!

Answer: 95 Lumina.  Uses a lot of oil. Don't buy American made cars.

Answer: 1995 Black Neon

Answer: '91 Pontiac Grand Prix

Answer: ‘86 Ford Crown Victoria

Answer: Well, let’s put it this way … my parents could have afforded to buy me a brand new Mercedes, but instead, my dad picked me up a USED  brown  Ford Pinto hatchback. (it was even oxidized) He said it was to keep me humble and appreciative....after it got wrecked (honest, it wasn't my fault) he bought me a white Ford Maverick … then it needed a valve job and it wasn't worth the repair, so after that, he bought a another Ford Pinto, but this time, it was baby blue … and guess what? … it lasted till I got married and that was 25 years ago and yes, I learned to appreciate...my dad was the best … but now I drive a Suburban (my dream car) and I'm thanking God for it!

Answer: Infiniti I30

Answer: A 1975 Honda Civic, rusted, which I eventually drove across the conuntry and back. It was a great first car!

Answer: 89 mercury sable leather interior, digital dash, silvery blue... ohhh yes. I got it in May of 99 and actually felt pretty cool cruising in my granny-mobile.

Answer: 1991 Geo Prism. Got it the day before I left for Bible College. I dedicated it to the Lord and gave it to Him, asking Him to allow me to drive it as long as He wanted me to have it. I drove it from NY to St Louis and back for 4 years, every Christmas and summer break. My fiance wrecked it in NY 3 months after I graduated.
