An old '91 Escort wagon. That pos was great! Got written off some time after I entered the service and left the state. I think my sister did something to it.
Your first car and how you lost it

It was a pale yellow 79' Ford Mustang. And it used to die at stop signs, so too this day I still drive with one foot on the brake and the other on the gas.
I had it for almost two years and then I lost it when I offered to give some poor bastard a jump start and he put the leads on backwards. Fried the whole electrical system. I was so pissed! >:[

My first car was a 94 Ford Taurus and I rolled it.
Drove home on almost 72 hours of no sleep from work cause i had an early class the next day. Blinked and all of a sudden my car was rolling and spinning. Most confusing moment of my life ever.

Mine was a 1999 black GMC Jimmy. It was my father's SUV and I loved it.
I was at work (I work at a grocery store) and when I came out, I found it moved so that the front two wheels were on the curb. It had the worse gash right up the rear door. I bloody tractor trailer backed into it and left without reporting it. Sigh...

my first and only car i got about 6 months ago (I'm 18 now) and it is a holden commodore executive 1995 the damn thing is nearly as old as me
My first car was a '92 Toyota Corolla, I ended up trading it in about a year ago because I needed a more reliable car to drive while I was away at college. Now I have a 2010 Corolla S.
I've never really had a first car but I suppose I could count the 1991 Mitsubishi Emeraude that I sort of claimed from my folks. They didn't really like it that much but I did so I drove it everywhere. It's chassis rusted up though, failed it's warrant, cost way too much to get repairs so it went to the scrapyard and Dad got himself a new car.
My first car was a 2005 Dodge Dakota that my dad bought for me late last year to drive after I got my license. Thankfully, nothing's happened to it yet, and hopefully I'll keep it for a while.
It was an old Nissan Almera. I got it cheap from a garage who had used it for people who were leaving their cars to be serviced. It lasted about a couple of years before it started leaking oil badly, and it was cheaper to buy a new one than fix all that was wrong with it. Only cost a few hundred, so I wasn't expecting a long term thing. I still loved that little girl.
91 ford escort sedan with the hatchback, it was a yankee car (pennsylvania ) so it was rusted out and the transmission broke at 80k miles bought a used mistubishi 3000gt drove it to 250k miles sold it, and now drive a 2012 civic.
The first car is still my favorite, I abused that poor thing.

My first car was a 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I had it for 3 and a half years of so. I lost it after I broke it. I literally ran it into the ground so much, that to keep pouring money in (I had already put twice the purchase price into repairs) was just too much for me to handle.
A good old 1.8 Fiat Brava. It was the family car, I was just on the insurance, but I used it more than anyone else. I was moving in for my second year at uni and something went wrong with the radiator. We couldn't figure out what it was, but (and this is without leaking from the storage bottle) it was completely emptying the water in about 3 miles. My Dad decided it would cost more than the car was worth to fix the engine and just part-exed it for a new one.
2001 saab 9-5, met its end when my bro took a turn and the brakes failed 
still have front emblem. had it b4 i had my permit it went thru my mom my bro then me. good ol' saab :'(

Sadly, I was hit from the rear at 55-65 mph (that's a lot more in kph, for you outside of the states). The trunk wound up in the back-seat, and I would up losing my baby.
Since then I briefly had an '84 Cadillac Fleetwood d'Elegance, '86 Honda accord, '89 Acura Legend, and now own a '96 Honda Accord.

Something like that.
Still have it. Mostly because it's a determinator little car and still runs like a dream.
1st was a 83 Chevy Blazer white with about a 3 or 4in lift had it for a year or two then my parents sold it for no reason other than my mom hated it (dad bought it for me with out telling her) Was my Favorite plan to find another one at least i know the guy who bought it and has almost completely restored it.
2nd was a 83 white long bed Chevy Silverado was a thirsty thing for a 350 that wouldn't stay running unless you held the gas down when you stopped but it would fly (dad took it after i bought my next vehicle)
3rd 2001 Chevy short bed silverado grey v6 liked it a lot survived a lot of things it probably shouldn't of finnaly wreaked it picking up my friend from his girlfriends t boned a brand new 07 or 08 Toyota full size truck (insurance totaled it i still think it was probably fixable)
Currrent ride a Red 2006 Chevy siverado extend cab like it other than its bright read paint job (Show dirt way to much. fastest i driven a pick up got to 140mph before i started to catch up to some people and had to slow up or rear end them seams new Chevy's don't have a governor at 91 anymore.
just realize all of my vehicles have been Chevy kinda weird.

My first car was a 1991 Chevy Corsica. It wasn't anything to look at, but it was amazingly durable and could take a beating. I eventually went to college and got a newer car, so we sold it off to the government for a tax refund.
My 1994 Chevrolet Corsica was given to me when I was 16 by my aunt. It was a piece of junk but it served me well and got me from point A to point B and occasionally point C. It broke down in the middle of the street when my fiance was driving it, and it turns out that the coolant tank had cracked and gotten into my oil tank and also blew a head gasket, so I sold it to part out for $380 dollars. Not bad though, I was expecting a lot less. Now I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue.
