Your First Car


Recommended Posts

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: I walked away without a scratch but "Tug" (that was the first 3 letters of it's license plate) wasn't so lucky.

that's what i got, except it was Dodge.. tranny went out at 127K, repaired it and then gave it to my cousin. we're going to do major service to the car since he's getting below 15MPG.

Ouch only 15MPG? I'm getting about 26MPG from mine...

Anyway I learnt in a VW Lupo 1.4 X reg as seen below

And I hated it. The engine knocks a lot of the time, it sounds horrible and it looks like a small box on wheels. Wasn't comfy either. But it did handle alright.

And now I drive my car, a '98 Rover 416i and I love it. Don't care what people say about Rovers, tis MY car and it is fine for me, performance is good, it's roomy, comfy, handles alright but it's not a sports car by any long shot. Oh, and it's British. :D

I just got my first car on Thursday and am currently fixing it up a bit before I drive it and tune it up to get better gas mileage.

1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Pros:

* Came with High Quality New Tires

* Came with New Brakes

* Came with a New Battery

* Working A/C

* Electric Windows and Doors

* Great Gas Mileage

Cons:

* Needs to be painted - It's burgendy and the paint on the top is rusted off and its faded on the hood and trunk and its champaigne burgendy so I'm going to paint it silver.

* Has a Windshield crack which needs to be fixed.

* 244,000 Miles

first car I ever drove was a 1964 Ford Galaxie 2 door in 1975. "Graduated" to a 1969 Galaxie 500 XL sport in 1978. That was really "my" first car. Wish I had that car back. 390 4bbl, 22 gallon gas tank which cost 19 bucks to fill with gas back then LOL. Since 1985, I've driven mustangs. On my 4th one now. 99 which I bought new in 99, only 46,000 miles. Still smells new :)

:alien:

I'm still driving my first car, hopefully not for long. 1990 Dodge Daytona ES w/ V6. I will hit 160,000 miles here soon. Trying to sell it so I can get a mid-90's V6 Mustang. Yeah I know, V6, but it would be cheaper for insurance and gets better gas milage than my Daytona does now.

I don't have a license yet, but the first car I drove was a ~2002 Pontiac Bonneville (Driving instructor's, I did it privately and laughed at the kids who had to drive a Ford Focus from the school)

But I've driven:

~2002 Pontiac Bonnevile

1993 Mercedes 190e

2002 PT Cruiser

2002 PT Cruiser (Yes, two different ones)

1994 Ford Explorer

Ahhh I remember my first car......

A 1982 Mitsubishi Sigma Executive. Man it was the shizzle!!

That was in 1998.

I've just bought a 1994 BMW M3 to replace my ageing 1985 BMW 323i (now sold)

Loving the M3..... ZOoooooooom! hehehe :D

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
