Your first car.

I was reading on a different board on how some people's parents bought them a car for their 16th birthday. I mean, fab cars. Brand new Beamers, Audi's.... My folks bought me a 10 year old Mustang for my 16th birthday. And, where I grew up at, I had hit the holy grail. No one elses parents spent the money to buy them a car. So, in your neck of the woods, did you and your friends get cars for your 16 birthday?

1973 (or maybe it was a 74) Pontiac LeMans that was my grandmother's racy sports car until my brother wrecked it, then he drove it until I got it.

I got a new honda accord as a surprise on my birthday. The salesman pretended to show me junky cars, and said that he had one more to show me, and around the corner was my new car with "congratulations stephanie" on the windshield.

My first car was a '97 Corvette. My uncle is a poilce officer and got it at an auction. I honestly think it used to belong to a drug dealer.

1996 Toyota Camry LE. I got it the summer before I turned 16, and it was a great car until I totaled it last year.

My parents bought me a 1985 Honda Prelude for my 16th birthday. I loved that car and drove it for 10 years.

My first "car" was a motorcycle. A screaming fast 82 Yamaha Virago that desperately wished it was a Harley. A stainless V-twin engine that carried me many miles, and of course I was a maniac and rode on freeways without a helmet. Many times under the influence of an array of chemicals. Never had an accident. Thankfully. My second "car" was a metallic root beer brown 77 Toyota pickup. I loved that little truck. It ran like a top and I could fix everything on it, and did, except for the engine and the transmission. It was like working on a lawnmower. I am certain it is still on the road somewhere. That thing was indestructible. It's name was Rudy.

BTW, both bought and paid for by me.

I'm still driving my first car, a beige '91 Ford Escort. My mom was so thrilled when me and my brother got our licenses, since it meant no more having to drive us everywhere. She was more than happy to get us each a nice cheap car to drive, lol.

Mine was a Volkswagen golf Type 1. from 1982. Bought it as a 14 year old end 95. It was my buddy for three years. Then he died. Bye buddy

My father was a mechanic, so my first car, like almost everything my mother drove until my sister and I were out of school, was a former wreck. He baught it cheap, did the labor and gave it to me. Early 80's Turismo, I believe. Loved the hatchback!
