(Age under 18) Which car do you want as your first car?

I want a good 2 door sports car. Preferably a FRS or tC. But I already know I'm getting my mom's '06 Nissan Altima.

or more realistically,

The G6 coupe is actually a nice little car. But the modern Grand Prix's are absolute 🤬. I pulled the entire passenger-side door off of my aunt's when it froze shut. And my upper body strength is rather pathetic, honestly.

And @6ranTur15m05, I wouldn't worry about posting little things like that picture in another language. No one's really going to care if you post a pic that contains text from your native language.

Oh alright. I know a guy who is "supposedly" getting his dads C4/C5 Corvette and is doing something along the same line as that. I've also seen some IROC Camaros around where I goto school, but it's mainly pick ups in the country and incredibly ridiculous looking Civics in town (Thats what we get for living near a Honda Production Plant)
Yeah there would be no way I'd drive any of those if I had to pay for it right now lol.
 
I had no idea what car I wanted when I was 16. There were a :censored:load of them.

But the first car I actually got:

The first "daily driver" I bought entirely myself was this:

I wanted a foxbody mustang as my first car. I love the look, power, and feel. I almost had one. It was $1000 and had a couple of engine problems. When I told him I wanted to have a shop I trusted look at it he backed out. I was going to pay for everything, he just needed to bring the car whenever was good for him. I ended up with an '06 ZX6R (completely paid for) and an '89 MR2 (owe my dad about $500).
 
Foxes are good cars in general...easy maintenance, good power, endless aftermarket support...shame the deal didn't go through.
 
The first car I really want is a Golf GTI MK1 (around 5000€) or a Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 (about the same price, a bit cheaper). My first car to drive aroud (not really mine) is a 97' Ford Ka
 
That is a nearly new BMW, though.
I know but, isn't that car much cheaper in other countries?

I was really worried haha. So I posted the video above ^^
Similar one on Autotrader for £22,990... so would you say roughly double the cost for where you live? (i.e a car worth £10,000 would be $18,000-$22,000 for you?)
It's exactly $16.367 at the time I'm typing this.

I want(ed) something that would (A) have excellent gas mileage, (B) in decent condition, (C) cheap, and (D) stick shift.

Expectation would have been a generic (older model) Civic or something similar. Reality is a 1993 Honda Del Sol Si (in red) with working fog lights(!) and an automatic transmission. Only condition my dad said (since it's his) is that I do the work on it if it becomes mine.

3 out of 4 isn't bad, considering all it needed to be driven when we first got it was a new battery and 4 tires.
There are some rust spots on it, and some body panels need to be replaced (minor fender-bender before we got it, apparent disagreement with the left front fender and a pole while backing out of a parking space) along with a new rear deck (minus wing), hood, and window seals... but, for $300... you can't go wrong.

(Once it gets home I will update with pictures.)

You mean the fog lights barely work at all, right?
 
I'm hoping for a decent, manual FD RX7, but I probably won't get one unless its super cheap (i.e. doesn't run :banghead:). If only FDs weren't so 🤬 expensive here! In reality, I'll probably have to slum around my parents' '94 and '96 Plymouth Voyagers ('96 is a Grand Voyager :cool:), at least for a little while. The first car that I actually buy will hopefully (finances permitting) be an FD.
 
I'm 17 and still don't know how to drive, or have a first car (Why would I be posting here if I had a first car?), but I'd like something old, like a muscle car or truck, or something RWD so I can drift it (legally and responsibly of course).

Some examples:

  • '69 Chevy C10. I'd put a 302 in it:

  • First-gen Pontiac Firebird. 1969 shown.

  • And the holy grail of RWD cars (IMHO), the Toyota AE86.

You guys will find out that I like pretty much anything when it coms to cars.
 
Good luck finding a 302 Chevy, let alone performance parts for it. Better off with something cheap and easy like a 350.
 
Thinking realistically, I'd like to have a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I like Chevrolet and the Monte Carlo is the car that most NASCAR teams modeled their stock cars off of in the 90's.

Same here, only not just a '98. I'd take any year Monte Carlo.

No trust me you wouldn't. They are not nice to work on.
