I really wanted to be the first to post here so.....

 

What car was you last, your first and your current rides? Lets try to keep this without pictures else people will just post a pics and it will get locked...

 

My First

 

Peugeot 105 'Style'

 

Piece of shit hand me down from my sister. Rusty and unreliable and had a well deserved end (I crashed it)

 

My Last

 

Vauxhall Vectra 3.2 V6 Elite

 

I loved this car, really powerful and exceptionally comfy, Paid £4k for it and spent nearly £3k repairing it when it fucked up. Was killed by a Suzuki Swift (which came off a lot worse actually...)

 

My Current

 

BMW E46 330ci

 

My current baby, I love everything about it. It is shit off a shovel fast, and even though I'm not a drug dealer I feel comfortable driving it. :)

I've only ever drove small compact cars and that's the only thing I'm used to

I know that feeling. Family car was and still is a Hyundai, which I learnt to drive in.

 

Since getting my license, I have stuck to smaller cars. Current everyday vehicle is a 95 model Honda CRX. Find them more comfortable to drive compared to a 4 door, 'bigger' vehicle.

Reading and comprehension skills for members on the site continue to amaze me...

 

First: 1989 Dodge Shadow (red) $750- I know, awesome right? Well it gets better.....It had a pink pin-stripe. So the ladies knew what was up when I pull up in that beauty. Then my speakers blew so since I spent all my money on gas and oil, I rigged a speaker from my parents old stero system and had it sitting on my front seat. Alas the alternator went out on this car and I sold it for $500.

 

Last: 2007 Honda Accord (Blue) $26,000 - I leased this one and I have to say this was the best car I ever owned. Drove amazing and looked good too.

 

Current: 2002 Toyota Solara (Silver) $5000 - Didn't want a car payment so I bought this car. Pretty reliable but things are starting to go on it. CD player is broken and it leaks brake fluid.

I'm actually kind of worried about driving a bigger car ( i had to drive my aunts hummer around once to move it and it just felt weird driving a bigger card).

I know eventually I'm going to have to drive a bigger car around when i have a family and I know in comparison to smaller cars, the overall handling is different

My first car was a Renault Clio. It got me from A>B and I wasn't really in a position to choose or buy anything better. It done me good though.

 

(Pictures are just generic Google - Not mine but same colours.)

 

[spoiler=Car]http://www.autoweb.co.uk/moduleit/_image_20121031356_ClioRA51(0).JPG

 

 

I had another car before this one, but once I'd been working and had the money I got a Mini Cooper S. Loved this car. So nippy and sounded great. Until a coach smashed into the back of me and wrote it off.

 

Somewhere in one of my many threads are some photos if you car to do some digging to see what it looked like!

After that crash, I got what I'm driving now. Ford Fiesta ST 500. Limited to 500 to the UK. All are the same but different to the production Fiesta/ST. Black, different decays, black rims, red cap, nice interior.

 

Nice 2.0 turbo car and probably going to keep it for a while until I have saved up for something similar/better. Had it close to 3 years now. Best part is people thinking it's a standard stock car and want to race.

 

This thing is as light as a feather and I've taken on BMWs and all sorts and it's won. Beauty! Only issue with it being rare, it's prone to shit getting stolen. Had my wheel caps taken, front/back grills (those grey plastic ones) and not my spoiler has been ripped off!

First was a 1983 Chevrolet Citation (5 door hatchback). The primary colour was rust with a little bit of blue mixed in. Bought it for $300. This car was such a beater, I had a case of oil in it at all times, and had to add a bottle every 100 kms or so. Pixie dust and prayers were the only things holding it together. Sold it for $600 (LOL) to some guy who wanted to drive it THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS. :bow: I wished that guy Godspeed, he was a braver man than I.

 

Last was a 2008 Chevy Colorado 4 cylinder. Had to get rid of it cuz the gas tank took too much and it wasn't a family friendly truck. Great truck for a single guy at the time. I miss it still :(

 

Current are a 2004 VW Jetta diesel and a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. If you have kids and a don't have a minivan, get one. They are the most useful vehicle, perhaps ever.

First: '98 (I think, don't fully remember the exact year) Plymouth Neon (blue). Piece of shit. Had it for about 2 years before I was able to sell it.

Last/Current: 2011 Mustang (silver base V6). Got it in October after the Honda Accord I was driving started acting up on me. Love it! If anyone wants a picture, just ask! :D

The blue BMW used to belong to LankstaTDOT on this website btw, he sold off before he bought his Eclipse Spyder and his 2016 Charger. Not sure if he still owns the charger or got an Audi RS7. He always changes that car.. I really don't get car guys.. :think: Anyways.. MINI MINI MINI!

First Car i drove was my dad's 2005 Holden Commodore VE, you basically have to drive either that or a Ford Falcon in order to call yourself an Australian:p

 

Current Car is a 2009 Mazda MX-5 convertible touring model (electronic, active-matic gear box:woop:) This was the first/only car i've bought, living in Sydney means i spent 3 years using public transport.

 

My next car, which i hope to buy this year if i don't have any unforeseen expenses, is a 2011 Lotus Elise:)

I've had 4 cars in my 8 years of driving, and am likely going to get a new one in a few months just for the fun of it.

 

I have had:

 

-1995 Nissan Maxima (automatic)

-1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD (5-speed)

-1998 Nissan Maxima (5-speed)

-2003 Nissan Maxima (6-speed)

 

Can you tell I like Maximas? :D My next car won't be one, because I don't care for any of the ones newer than what I have now, but it will be something in the same spirit (comfortable highway cruiser with more power than it needs and a manual transmission!).

 

For those that live outside the US, this isn't the same Nissan Maxima that you guys get (that's the Infiniti I30 and I35 here). This is something totally different.

My first vehicle was the family's 2004 Pontiac Monatna minivan. Shit brown with 17" chrome wheels from an Oldsmobile Aurora. It loved to slide for a FWD. It met its end a couple of months ago, and I received an upgrade. I now drive a 2005 Toyota Tacoma Double cab SR5 and absolutely love it. You really can't get much worse than driving a minivan, and this is a major step up. Slightly more sluggish than the van, but you barely notice.

 

Currently in stasis (re: barn at my grandfather's house), is a 1980 Toyota Supra Mark I. The car needs a new throttle linkage and thermostat, but the parts are sitting in my garage and waiting for a nice enough day to tackle that small project.

I have owned two 69 Camaro's which I sold off to be part owner in my dads AC Cobra. I dont think I have any digital pictures of the Camaro's but will look for them. Even though I live 5 hours from my parents I still kept my stake in the Cobra. I figure I will end up with it one day anyway or buy my dad out.

You are one lucky bastard. Those are probably THE coolest cars out there.

1st car- 94 Honda Civic DX (5 speed)

2nd- 03 VW GTI 20th Anniversary (6 speed)

3rd- 02 Audi TT (6 Speed) Got totaled in an accident

4th- os Audi TT ALMS (6 speed) Totaled when I got hit by a drunk driver

5th- 87 Mazda B2000 truck(5 speed) Tired of expensive cars and tickets

6th- 06 Scion XB (5 speed) pAID 10K cash 3 years ago for it and it is awesome. Tons of space, fast enough to have fun, but not get into trouble, unless you really try. Space for days( I can haul a pinball machine or decent size fish tank without a truck) and I get 32mpg.

 

I also have an 09 F150 for work, if I need to move anything big.

Wow, everyone in here seems to have a fair bit of cash haha. Or more than me atleast, my 1st & only car was a 1980 Toyota Starlet , got it for $900NZD. Toyotas are very reliable for imports, they jus go & go & go! But my favourate part was that people looked at it as jus another hatchback, not realising that the 80 Starlet was the last RWD Starlet made ;)

First car was a '91 Ford Escort in Super Faded Red, with a wheezy as fuck 1.4 engine. Pretty much this - https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8187/8107901586_5fa44dfcdd_z.jpg Had some starter problem that I couldn't sort out (had it repaired, replaced, etc). The amount of times I had to push start it was unreal. Also had dodgy central locking that would randomly lock the car. Had to break into it twice after it locked my keys inside itself. Always have spare keys people! Paid £500 for that shitter about 10 years ago.

 

Car after that was one of these little beasts - http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj583/David_Newbery/Facebook/my%20car%20past%20and%20present/328331_2760171047188_2076317347_o.jpg - Hardly ever drove it cos I was at uni at the time (therefore poor as fuck). Sold it while I was still at uni. Horrible little thing.

 

Current car is this - http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mu_TaxIPw4phVZstRubQByQ.jpg - Cost me bugger all and works perfect. Not the best thing ever, but gets me about. Has the hottest heating system ever, it can pretty much melt your face, which is great at the moment since it's freezing in the UK right now.

 

Looking for a Swift GTi if anyone has one they don't want lol.
