No matter how many cars you own in your lifetime, you'll never forget your first car. It's as simple as that, I wanna see your first car! Here's mine, my 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

In embarrassed to say, it was this POS '65 Karmann Ghia. I once spent $300 at a strip club in East Dubuque, IL and it was money better spent than on that car.

It looks like it was fun. I've always wanted an air-cooled VW.

My first car? A '33 Plymouth coupe. Dodge Hemi powered. OK, it was a 255ci lump, but it was fun. Pulled the hemi out, put in a 283 Chebby. 292 ci of more fun. Picked up my girlfriend at high school with it. Many good times. Sold it when I got married. Oh well. Sorry, but no pics.

No problem, it sounds like you had a lot of memories with that car.

1989 Ford Aerostar, 3.0l and a stick shift! Price = one clutch job. I still miss it sometimes. Nicknamed the penismobile

There must be some stories surrounding that van.

I wanted 4 things in my first car: V8, 2 doors, RWD, stickshift. I got 3 out of 4.

Converted the rear drums to discs, installed Cobra front brakes, did some pointless engine bolt-ons, put in a shift kit, H&R springs, Bilstiens, big sway bars, and an LSD w/ 3.73 gears. I thought it was a lot faster than it really was, of course, but I eventually decided to get a Supercoupe because I liked the car so much but wanted more power and a 5-speed.

Still have the car.

First car that was ever all mine was a 88 dodge shadow turbo, unfortunately it was an auto and had lots of electrical problems from the precious owner trying to put in an alarm

Renault 4Cv. I think he bought it for me so I wouldn't get any speeding tickets. Flatout, downhill with a tailwind the best I could do was 62mph. 750cc, 3 speed transmission, ~20HP.

A 4CV! That's pretty cool. My grandad used to have a Dauphine. Different car, just as slow
