What was your first car?

Year/Make/Model

What year did you get it/how old were you? How long did you have it/why'd you get rid of it?

I'm sure most people (or at least just guys) have fond memories of their first car, and stories to share about it. So let's hear them.

My first car was an '88 Honda Accord. I bought it when I was 16 (in 2000), before I even had a license (it also had a manual transmission, which, at the time, I didn't even know how to drive...I just thought it was cool).



I jokingly (and misleadingly) referred to it as "The Sexmobile" throughout high school.

During junior year (in 2001, after saving up more money) I bought a '91 Nissan 300ZX, and used this car more often during the spring/summer (and used the Honda for the wet fall and winter months).


(Mine looked pretty much like this one...stock except for some exhaust upgrades that the previous owner did, and an upgraded stereo and speakers...but the paint wasn't as nice)

I stopped driving the Honda by college (and replaced it with a '92 Audi), but left it parked in the street. One day it was gone, and I found out it was towed away because people thought it was an abandoned car. When I went to the impound lot to pick it up, the windows had been smashed, and the stereo/speakers which I had installed were stolen out of it. Kind of surprising considering the impound lot was surrounded by tall barbed wire. I smell a conspiracy. Anyhow, because of that, I let them keep the car, and the Sexmobile was no more.

I still have the Nissan, but haven't driven it in probably 4 years now. Now that I'm done with school, I'll probably treat it as my little project car, to mess around with on weekends in the garage (it could use a new paint job too). I'm fond of the T-top.
