My first car was a 1990 Mercury Topaz. What a pos it was. The first truck I drove was a 1996 Dodge Ram. The reason why my uncle didn't sell it to me was because the gas gauge was broken inside of the gas tank. I don't know what he ever did with it.

The first car i drove was a driving school car biggrin.gif , as i remember with a pretty small engine, 1000cm3 and 3 cylinders. Suzuki Swift. biggrin.gif I think no comments needed, the car was slow, with disturbing sounds comming from everywhere, and pretty badly equipped, not even a rev counter or rear window heater. blush.gif
This was back in 1998, and i was really happy when i got my driving documents and could say good bye to that car and drive legally in ours.

Our car by that time was a 2 litre Toyota Avensis Sol grade, and the other car i used a lot by that time was my godfather's Bimmer 528i.

Now i have a new Toyota Avensis 2.4 vvt-i Sol Executive (this is the fourth Avensis already in the family, wow Avensis is really on the top), and i drove way over 100000 km since i got my driving license.
