First car? The thread about dream cars has prompted me to ask...
What was your first car? For me, it was a 1981 Fiat Spider 2000 convertible. I owned it from 1994 to 1997. Positives: * It was unique. Nobody else I knew had one. * It was a lot of fun to drive. * It was an Italian car, with a Pininfarina design. Negatives * It was an Italian car, which have a (well-deserved) reputation for being unreliable. * I could get any part that I needed, but I usually had to order it from a catalog. Since Fiat pulled out of the U.S. market in the 1980s, I couldn't just visit a dealer's parts counter.

Matt, you rich bastard.
You suck. You even have a rich person's name. I hope you will consider the offer I have given you many times to adopt me. -------
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti... "I've just had an apostrophe!" "I think you mean an epiphany..." | |

Rich? Hah! If you calculated my net worth (assets minus liabilities), it would probably be at least negative $50K. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

It was a red 1976 Oldsmobile Boat with a white top handed down from my grandmother. That car had major attitude. | |

1979 Dodge Omni...
kinda looked like that picture of the Metro. Bought it for $300 from some residential painter, came complete with paint fumes and all. Sadly, i hit a HUGE pothole once, and damaged the entire wheel support system. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

1970 Plymouth Sports Satellite... for about three days until I ran a red light with my dad in the car and he took it away from me beacuse it was "special" - some sort of push car assembled thingy. Then I got a 1976 Cutlass Supreme. And then I got another cutlass, and another, and another. Cutlass' suck!
It looked pretty much like this, but a 1970, and it had two black strips down the thing. I loved that car! [This message was edited Sat Oct 5 17:37:53 PDT 2002 by AzureStar] | |

My first car was a 1977 Ford Granada. I was only 16 and had to pay for the car and insurance myself so I couldn't afford much (The car was like $600 but for some reason liability insurance was over $100 a month) but I liked it.

That was my parents' first new car!! In metallic green, complete with green vinyl seats! My first car was a brand-new 1988 Grand Am SE, white, awesome. Then I collided with a landscaping truck. Bye! Bye! Grand Am! By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |
