First car I drove, even though only in a GO Station (Train) parking lot here in gtown...

Was my fathers '95 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL 3.1L.

Pros.

- I hate that tank... (I've hated it since he got in it '98) So I don't really care if I damage it (I'll end up repairing it anyways... gotta do some body work on it... finally started rusting)

- 3.1L V6, mmm Power.

- easy to steer (for me anyways)

Cons.

- 259,000+KM on it.

- Have to fondle the shifter to get it to engage reverse

- Sucks on Gas.

- A/C system leaks..

- Minor issue where it pulls to the right, has to be a control arm or sumthin.

- rear spring needs to be replaced (split and fell off it's mounts)

- it's a boat...

- It's an automatic...

The first car that I will own will be a Third Gen Acura Integra with a 5spd manual, I hate automatics with a passion.

Is it so wrong to like the way that POS handles but hate it's appearance?

My first car is gonna end up being a 98 Honda Civic sedan 5spd manual :D (my father is gonna buy it for himself to act as a temp replacement for the pos, then I'm gonna buy it off of him lol)

First I ever drive was a Ford Escort MkII, B reg when I was about 6, just the wheel on the edge of a cliff in a place called Dunscombe Manor Holiday park (devon, recurring family holidays ahhhh!)

First OWNED car was a Ford Fiesta MkII F reg, when I was 19, 3 years ago. 0.952L haha, that thing could do 70 for about 5 seconds! Awesome car, still works, and has only 57000 miles on the clock or so.

Since then Ive had 5 cars, current one being a Ford Focus 2004 revision, 54 reg, 1.6L Petrol Ghia model. Fantastic luxuriously simple car, if that makes sense.

My first car was an S reg (1998) Citroen Saxo.

It was alright... apart from parts of the exhaust had to be replaced several times, the brakes completely went and had to be replaced... in the end it probably cost more than the actual car (which cost ?1000).

Sold that just before my first year at Uni... now in my 2nd year I have 03 Metallic Blue Peugeot 206... love it (even if it is the most common car on the flipping roads!)

Here is a few pictures of mine, getting it on Thursday. 2003 Ford Mustang Coupe not a GT. Insurance would kill me being 18.

In one of the pictures it looks like there is something wrong with the door, nothing is wrong, the door just wasn't shut all the way.

That's my first car.

ah mustang, the best <Snipped> car. good car, or was a good car in the older years, but now it's just driven exclusively by <Snipped>

So you're automatically called me a <Snipped> because I own a mustang?

How stupid of you. Since when Mustang drivers are <Snipped>? Care to explain your wisdom on the subject?

Since my first car back in 1996 was a Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, I guess your first car is pretty hot! Nice Mustang at 18.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
