1st car.... Was my dad's old car.

1977 Dodge Aspen wagon
Was the color of honey. And was named the "honey-wagon" back in High School. Had great heat for the summer and ice cold A/C in winters. But it was the Sh**. Once fit 11 football players on the way home from practice... Oh the memories. HAHA!

My first purchased car was 92 Dodge Stealth R/T (non turbo) miss that car!

 

[MC-Chase]

Lucky guys! Especially a 3000GT for your first bought car Ace!

I had a Subaru Justy 1.3 ... 68hp .

[daddyo845]

Well I don't really own a car right now but I live in this neighborhood with a culdesac at both ends and me and my pops drove around there for half an hour. Amazing how much I enjoyed it. Never got past 30mph but it was an experience I will remember. Can't wait to take to the real roads.

Only problem is we leave for vacation tomorrow down to Virginia so I won't be able to drive again for almost a week .

 

[MC-Chase]

That Stealth/3000GT/whatever is boss, I love that light gold, it screams 90's (and that's only a good thing in my book).

 

[acedition333]

Was in Virginia last month for Busch Gardens. You headed there Daddyo?

 

[daddyo845]

Wow yeah we actually are going to Busch gardens. What a coincidence!

 

[acedition333]

It was called Sandstone.... It was a rare color. It really shined nicely!👍

 

[Torzilla]

1987 Subaru GL 5-speed, shift-on-the fly 4wd and the spare tire was in with the engine. I could only find a stock photo of the engine and mine wasn't turbo but it looked something like this:

 

[Jonnaidoo]

The 200sx, only pic I have.

 

[daddyo845]

What's that car next to it? Do you know?

 

[BrandonW77]

What's that car next to it? Do you know?

911 Turbo maybe? Both are sharp looking. 👍

 

[Jonnaidoo]

Yeah, was a 911. It was just parked there so i took advantage.

 

[daddyo845]

Yes I'd be glad to have that 200sx as my first car

 

[MC-Chase]

You guys have no idea how lucky you are you have these options for first cars. In the UK insurance companies would either just laugh at you or charge you well over 5 grand a year!

 

[daddyo845]

My dad had a '74 Pontiac Le Mans. He told me it was puke green

5 grand??!!!! Why?? Theft big over there?

 

[MC-Chase]

5 grand??!!!! Why?? Theft big over there?

Not really (well I don't think so anyway?). Anything remotely sporty for someone without a couple of years no claims is out of the question. I had a mate with a CRX at 18 and he spent about £2200 on insurance that year I think!

 

[hobbsy]

Mine was a Black Vauxhall Nova 1.2L 5dr, I can still remember the day of passing my test and driving on my own for the very first time

(ebay pic of similar car)

I got the first year out the way after paying about £700+ for insurance, then moved onto to the SR model which was a lot sportier, quicker and had loads of extras in comparison to the L model. Still only a 1.3l engine, but the addition of an K&N air filter, stainless exhaust, adjustable suspension, and a somewhat stupid fearless-ness approach to driving on the limits made it feel like the fastest thing around!

 

[LongbowX]

@acedition333 @MC-Chase In this Province, and especially this city....insurance is ridiculous. Often times for drivers under 25, the insurance per year is more than the car. It could be between 5-10,000 dollars. Per year. Or even more. I've heard a young driver in a Porsche 944 (I think, don't remember exactly) with a not great driving record had insurance of 25,000... per year.

I hope we get it sorted out soon here.

 

[MC-Chase]

I really wasn't far off with the Corsa then was I @hobbsy ?

 

[hobbsy]

I really wasn't far off with the Corsa then was I @hobbsy ?

No not at all... in fact I've had three Nova's and three Corsa's the last of which was this

And yes, I still miss this little thing..

 

[MC-Chase]

Did they all have K&N filters? I'm aware you weren't a proper teenager unless your whip had one. They didn't make one for the Justy so I got a green cone filter from Demon Tweeks and bodged it on the dual-point injection (haha ) manifold with plastic padding and a section of drain pipe. I also had green stuff pads that were worth at least 5 points of kudos to my mates at college 👍.

im in a room now with Amary and Bergele, you still on Tor? Why dont you join us?

 

[Cu3e]

My first car was my brothers beat up beetle (1966 I think). It had some silly carbon fibre parts that looked pretty cool but started shaking at 80kmh which was its top speed pretty much

I was without car for long time. Now driving my first bought car, 2010 Skoda Fabia. Not a sporty car but economical and nimble in city.

(Pic by google)

And I like how it looks

 

[daddyo845]

A skoda huh? Nice! Does anyone know if they sell those in America? I haven't seen any dealerships in the US

Don't believe so. But Alfa is supposed to start selling over here again soon. If I ever lay eyes on a 4c......

 

[daddyo845]

Yes! The 4c is a beautiful little car! I'm looking forward to Alfa's reintroduction to the US

 

[Cu3e]

I believe it is built on same platform as VW Polo sharing lots of same parts, I suppose. Just several thousand euros cheaper where I live...

You talk about insurance, yeah, we got that but we have these enormous taxes as well...


That Alpha Romeo 4C looks like a "If they mated" result of a Ferrari and Lotus. Which is not a bad thing....
