    1986 camaro with a 305 v-8, red. It was a bit of a pile and I looked like a redneck driving it, but I miss the hell out of that car.

    Shamefully a 1977 baby blue Ford Pinto. But I got it free, so it worked out well. Drove it for about 6 months and then bought me a Dodge Magnum, and that baby hummed. :)

    My first car was my parent's old 1990 Toyota Truck. The thing was a tank, but the rear wheel drive was a nightmare in winter. Second car was a 1994 Toyota Corolla - it set itself on fire thanks to an electrical problem. Good times.

    '95 Pontiac Sunfire.

    Honestly, I hated it at first because I thought it looked like a chick car, and it didn't help that my sister had it first (she even decorated it, but at least those decorations were out by the time I got it). After a while, I got a little attached to it. Nice li'l car.

    But now that I'm much taller, anything shorter than my '96 Ford Ranger is a pain in the ass to climb in and out of. :lol

    Guess if you want to get technical it was a little red power wheels I had when I was about 3.

    Same here (may have been a '96). Mine was brand new. Thing fell apart within a few years. Worst piece of crap ever. Had numerous problems with it like an alternator died and such. My traded it in and I got his 94 or 95 Lexus ES. I drove that till around late 2007 when I traded it in for my '08 Scion xB aka Soundwave. It runs perfectly.


    The sunfire put me off completely on US made cars. I'm a toyota family man for life. The lexus ran great with no problems for 13 years while the Pontiac was having problems at 4 years old.. Never had a single problem with my xB

    First drove regularly: my parents 80's era Dodge Diplomat station wagon which to this day is referred to as 'Kup'. However Kup would have been insulted I named a dilapidated old lemon after him. :lol 

    First owned: VW Rabbit. It didn't really have a name, tho I may have called it 'Bunny'.
