What was the 1st car you have ever drove?

living in a city, a car is a pain in the ass rather than an asset.

however, i grew up in a small hillbilly town. my first car was an ancient datsun 510. it was rusted to the bejesus so my father and i took an auto body repair course together and fixed it and prettied it up. it ended up being white with black trim.

i tended to um... go to a lot of parties... in high school. and dents and dings of course happen when you do things like accidentally running over a mailbox while backing down a long hill... i parked with a big dent facing away from the house all the time. my dad either never noticed, or didnt want to know. he's 63 now i'll still never tell him. :P

I had a police car 1987 Chrysler fifth avenue 4 door white turned it into a ghetto peace of crap thankfully not long after that a drunk driver hit me head on at a red light, I got $2,500 cash for the car and $4,000 for pain and suffering bought a big 1990 4X4 K5 chevy blazer, damm drunk drivers but in that case you helped me out alittle...

I must add I was 17 yrs old when I owned my first car and 18 yrs old when that drunk driver hit me.

My first car was a Datsun 180B (a nissan) with a white roof and a sunroof.

It got me around town without to much trouble :lol:

My first own car was 180B (hard top) too :D If i i remember right it was -73 model...! Damn, i miss that car, soooooo many good memories...! :wink:

The first car i drove was fiat 850, my fathers brother let me drive with that when i was about 12-13.

Oh god this is really gonna make me sound like a dinosaur but my first was a yellow and black 1953 Dodge 500 convertible. It was pretty sexy at the time, and got it when I was just 16 and got to drive it to high school. Paid US$650 for it! After that it was a turquise colored 1959 MGA roadster, one of the best cars I ever owned, even by today's standards.

Wicked or what!

I even found the right colour :!: (Wedgewood Blue. I remember buying numerous cans of spray paint and filler to patch up the rust holes that appeared every year after winter)

Whatever minuscule amount of street cred I ever had has just been blown away

Good topic :)

Apparently my father let me hold the steering wheel while sitting on his lap when I was 3 or 4 but I can't remember that...

The first car that I remember driving was my instructor's car. The first car that I owned was a 1976 Honda Civic, gold color, but with more rust than paint... It had a small 1200 cc engine and so beaten up that I had to downshift to the second gear to climb hills on the highway. Anyway it took me everywhere I wanted and never let me down!

for me it was a RENAULT 19 TSE

1400 cc 80hp

blue ozone metal color

89 model

purchased with 30,000 km @ EUR 3000

i kept it 5 years while student and it was great

then moved for a new VW Golf GTI 5 cylinders but that s another story... :D

Geez, the first car I bought was also a Renault 19 TSE 1984 model.

But the first car I drove (on the street), was my dad's Peugeot 504 station wagon.

I asked about the 1st car you have ever drove,it doesnt mean you had to own it or anything. No worries if you've never owned a car in ya life.

I'm not putting this thread up to judge you guys or anything.Just feel like hearing good old memories you have with the very 1st car you have ever drove, that's all.

Stay cool!

Oh! Well, the first car I ever DROVE was my grandfather's black 1949 Dodge coupe. He let me drive it alone on the back roads during the summer when I was 10 years old. I got my learner's permit when I was 14 and got my unrestricted license when I was 15. In all of my driving years, I've NEVER had an accident, and NEVER been ticketed by the cops. Not that I didn't deserve a ticket sometimes, just lucky.

First driving experience was my brother n' laws 1969 Pontiac Firebird driving around a parking lot I was 12yrs old and he was sitting next to me on the seat making sure I wasn't going to crash at a very low speed, I wish I could drive it now like to tear up some black top.
