What was your first car?

js1 · 07-11-2008, 09:21 AM

I am just curious what everybody's first car was. I'll start off. When I turned 16 my grandfather gave me a 1992 GMC Typhoon. It was essentially a Chevy Blazer from hell. It had a 4.3L V-6 rated at 280HP and 360 ft.lb of torque. It was a real screamer off the line. I drove it until 1994 when I got got my first Honda. That was a 1994 Civic Si. My Dad got me that because I kept burning through tires and brakes on the Typhoon. The first car I ever bought myself was a 1997 Honda Prelude type SH.

My first car was a '91 accord coupe - I bought it for $300 w/189k miles. It was Gold

My second car was a '92 Celica GT - I paid cash, $1500, and owned it for 4 days when I was hit by a drunk driver in my boyfriends DRIVEWAY and it was totalled.

My replacement car was an '01 Celica GT - Silver. Still loved it and wasn't even looking, but when I saw my S, I had to say sayanara. (sp?)

2003 Silverstone Hardtop S. Hell to the Yeah.

I would have to get a car in order for it to be a "first one".

Wow, I can see I'm way too old for this thread. My first few cars were built in the 50's.

Seraph87 · 07-11-2008, 10:04 AM

'95 Acura Integra LS ( $4000 the day after I got my license. riced it out! 4.5" fart can exhaust just to sound cool. and all for nothing since my sister with her training wheels on could still beat me off the line, lol)

'95 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL ($7500. Kept it mostly stock, just rims and cai. Hit a telephone pole at 40mph swerving to avoid a dog, one expensive dog)

Went back to the Integra for a couple years until I could save up to get my S!

'02 S

btw, paid for all my cars myself and I take great pride in that considering the area I live in, mommy and daddy tend to hand down the old lexus if not a new beamer for the sweet 16

Wow...There are a lot of different cars here. Here are all the cars I've ever owned/had...

1) 1992 GMC Typhoon (Given by Grandpa)
2) 1994 Civic Si (Given by Dad)
(I bought the rest from here on out...)
3) 1997 Prelude Type SH
4) 1997 Miata R

What can I say, I love cars and I get bored very quickly. I love to drive. I think I am going to slow down now. I think I'll keep Stewie and probably replace the new TSX in about 3 years with an RL. I will never get rid of the Chevelle or the Porsche. The Benz will probably go in a few years. Eventually I will inherit a few of my Grandfather's cars, he has about 20 of them. I am hoping for the 2007 Ferrari F430. He also has an Enzo but I think my Dad is claiming that one!!!

As I understand it, there were 2 models in 57. The 57 TR3 was the old TR2 with some minor changes. It, like the TR2 had no grill. The TR3 A had a grill. As for anything other than cosmetic differences I don't know what they would be.
Here is one picture that survived.

And a couple of my other cars.

The above was at Carolina Motorsports Park.
