I had one of those (or very similar at least) during my driving classes a few years back. Really fun to drive!

Thanks, Can't get it over my heart to sell it though I have a company car now. Needs a new clutch because of the ECU chiptuning

First car was a 59 corvair monza ..

 

 

[T3X4S]

1999 Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL

It just looked fast, was a 6 banger with no guts, but had a 5-spd so popping the clutch was a given

Exactly like this: (didnt have fog lights though)

My own very first owed car was a 1972 VW Beetle 1302s in bottle green, man I loved my old bug! 1600cc with dual choke webber carbs, drank petrol like water but was quick and noisy

Sadly went to the scrapheap in the sky, regretted it ever since, the 1302s models are quite rare.

Ford Fiesta 1.3 Flight (2001)

 

pros

2001 plate with 65k Miles, absolute bargain for a first car.

easy to find parts 

 

cons

No electric windows/mirror

65BHP, Going up hill had you praying.

Steering was quite heavy, only noticed this once i got a newer car though.

Rust on rear arches, typical ford problem. First on rust dump and all that.

Tape player and radio was stuck on AM.

Like this, but all white

1990 Pontiac Sunbird - I made bad grades in school - it was punishment



My sister's first car - she made good grades and was daddy's little girl:

She had a brand new Navigator, had a phone in it (back when most people only dreamed of having a car phone)
fully loaded, and an AMEX gold card that my parents never looked @ the bill - just paid it

No... I wasnt jealous at all ?  why do you ask ?  pfft

My first ride, although the color was a dark, very ugly, yellow.

1977 Mercury Bobcat Wagon

Bought it for $75 and had to do a brake conversion from 4 wheel drums to 4 wheel disk due to no one making parts for it any more. 2.3L with 4 speed manual. Sad to say, I miss having a manual transmission.
