What was your first car? Who paid for it? .....

In 1978, I bought a used 1972 Pinto Pony.   Olive Green.

I co-signed a loan with my Dad for my $1,200 purchase.  

Some things you never forget .. the excitement of my first car and riding it home!

My parents bought me a brand-new Celica in 1995 for getting straight A's in high school. I still drive the same car today. Even though all my friends drive BMW's, I still think my little blue Celica looks better.

My first car was a Nissian Pulsar NX... can't remember the year. My parent's didn't buy it for me... which sort of sucked, but they taught me a good lesson. I worked hard and paid off the vehicle myself.

An 88 Convertible (LaBaron). I had it for years before I trashed it.

My first motorcycle was an old 82 Yamaha Virago that was always breaking down and needing spot repairs (which was half the fun of it :)  )

My first car was a 67 VW fastback with electronic fuel injection. My Dad bought it from a guy going in the Army in 75, it didn't run and we worked on it for weeks because of the fuel injection, and other problems. It would breakdown at least once a month and we would work on it together. Dad paid $150 for it and I paid for the parts, gas and insurance.

My first car was a 92 Honda civic which I saved up enough money from babysitting to pay for it myself...which was a whole summer worth of work...$3,000. I loved that thing......it was a pretty light green color..I ended up selling it because my uncle was gettting rid of his mitshubishi and said I could have it.....what a mistake that was.......
I think my next car will be a Honda

My first car was a '79 Plymouth Duster. It was white with a red racing strip down the side. Cute car! :) It was my brothers who sold it to me when he went in to the Navy. It was a good car, good engine. I cried when I had to get rid of it years later because it was costing more to fix it than I could afford. I loved that car!
