The first car I ever drove was a Cadillac Catera a few years ago. I only drove it once, I was left alone in the car and had no choice but to drive home. The car was nice but it was the most unreliable car ever.


My first car that I could actually call mine is a BMW 525i E39 which I got recently. Its an awesome car but I've been close to killing myself numerous times in the few months I've had it. Its so easy to control through powerslides and drifts that they happen naturally. I think I would have been very disappointed with a FWD car.

The only thing I don't like about this car is the transmission, I had no choice but to get the StepTronic (automatic) when I wanted a manual. That said, I wasn't going to be picky about it.

I'm considering changing the wheels to another set of original BMW wheels, probably something from the ///M lineup. No aftermarket crap is going on this car. I changed the kidney grilles to the M5 version.

Having a 2.5L I6 engine sometimes makes me want more power but I know that with anything more powerful, even a 530i, I would be dead by now. The 2.5L engine is adequate and keeps me somewhat safe, its still powerful enough to drift in 1st and 2nd gear and I can do donuts and get smoke from the rear tires. Its not powerful enough to outrun cops though.

The first card I drove was a 1979 VW Beetle, my father didn't let me shift into 3rd gear though, for " security". Good memories.

1996 Chrysler Cirrus. It was nice. 2.5L Mitsubishi V6 good for 160hp. CD player, automatic transmission, power everything. It was a good car. It met it's end hitting a F-250 at about 40 mph. cry.gif I walked away without a scratch but "Tug" (that was the first 3 letters of it's license plate) wasn't so lucky.

My First Car:
1996 Ford F150 XL

Pros:
5-Speed
Brand New Clutch
Could carry stuff

Cons:
Massive synchronizer problems (rebuilt trans)
Terrible on fuel economy
terrible oversteer in any inclement weather (its fun if its controlled but when it gets to be that bad...)
two 19 gallon fuel tanks (cost me roughly $80 a week to fill both)

I now drive a 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 "Power Premium" 5-speed.

The first car I owned was a red 1991 Camaro RS w/ T-Tops. I bought it in 2000 (when I was 15), and am still driving it today. God do I love the '91/92 Camaro body style.

I think the first car I ever drove was a Buick but I'm not positive. I do remember I backed into the neighbors trash bin and smashed it to pieces because I didn't actually know how to drive. They got really mad and said I did it on purpose which wasn't true at all. Mean spirited old shre..well enough about that.

The first car I actually owned was a 1974 Datsun 260Z, but it was also a rusted out pile of junk. I only drove it on the back roads because I wouldn't have my license for several more years. My first real car that I actually was licensed to drive was a dumpy little '86 Toyota hatchback with over 200,000 miles on it. Still ran like a dream though. Finally I got my first brand new car a few years ago, a Honda Accord EX V6 sedan and it's still serving me very well. smile.gif

1986 Reliant K or more famously labelled the "K Car".
Pretty good car though, I never had any real problems with it for 4 years till it finally kicked the bucket in a big way.

My first cars was a 1973 Chevy Vega GT. It was Red with the White stripe. The woman I bought it from almost didn't sell it to me because she thought I was just going to race it and kill myself. I thought, it's a Vega, for crying out loud. She sold it for $750.00 and it lasted me for 4 years.
