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.

    • They have done a good job. I have all the features dialed up in it.
    • Does your iPad support the latest iPadOS version? Here's the iPadOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple announced a ton of new updates and changes during its WWDC 2026 keynote. Of course, the center stage was captured by Apple Intelligence and the new upgraded Siri AI, which brings contextual awareness to Apple's voice assistant. This year's WWDC didn't have a dedicated section discussing what's new in iPadOS 27. That's probably because Apple has been unifying its software ecosystem in recent years through feature parity, changes to its naming scheme, and the Liquid Glass design language that spans all of its operating systems. That said, iPadOS 27 is coming later this year. Here are the iPad models present on the official list of supported devices: iPad Pro (M4 and later) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation and later) iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation and later) iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and later) iPad Air 11-inch (M2, M3, and M4) iPad Air 11-inch (4th generation and later) iPad (A16) iPad (9th generation and later) iPad mini (A17 Pro) iPad mini (6th generation and later) iPadOS 27 is now available as a developer beta release to try out the new features. To get the update on your supported model, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the options to get the latest update. In addition to iPadOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. The newest iPad update shares many features with its siblings, including the Liquid Glass slider, performance improvements, an enhanced Flyover in Maps, an updated CPU scheduler, and more. Apple said during the keynote that browsing and transferring files from iPad to an external drive is up to 5x faster. Apple also announced a platter of child safety features and Screen Time updates, which are making their way to iPadOS 27 as well. Siri AI is supported on iPadOS, but the upgraded assistant won't be available in the EU due to DMA restrictions.
    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
