Pretty much exactly this. It had been in the family since it was new. 1.3l engine, 5 gears, rear drive and little else. Even had a manual choke. Power nothing, tiny, gutless engine, but consistently pulling 40-50mpg even in the city, but I had this in the mid 90s when gas wasn't even an issue. 12" tires meant it'd drift in the rain if you really belted it. Car taught me the scandinavian flick before I knew what that was. It died a sudden death when it threw a rod at 236,000mi.

A 1996 Dodge neon, with a five speed manual. Pic isn't mine but is the same model and color that I had. It was my older brothers first car.When be bought himself a jeep, he gave it to me. Wasn't the best car, and the interior was noisy as hell, but it was actually pretty reliable because it was manual. Had 148,332 in the odometer when I sold it to some kid down the block from me for 650

>>16227162
DUDE ME TO. Except it wasnt the FX lol it was the 4AC motor. Still was a cool car and my was a three door

1992 BMW 325is.

It was a complete shitbox and I hooned the ever loving fuck out of it. Straight piped with shot oxygen sensors, it ran rich as fuck. It had 193,000 miles and the diff howled to all hell. I'm sure the suspension was shot, the on board computer didn't work, the seats were dyed, and the interior glue started to come offf. I taught myself to ger sideways in that car. I pefected heel toe and rev match downshifting in it. I won a couple races on my local parkway with it, even had a run with a Ferrari on I-87. It was a good car that was neglected as hell, as I was too poor to fix everything upfront.

I lost it when the accelerator stuck open (the linkage was rusty and caught itself) and I slammed on my brakes, causing them to lock. I slid into two parked cars.

Sold it to a kid for 800 bucks. I'm saving up for a nice clean Bronco/Ramcharger/K5 Blazer and a Honda Superhawk or a Japanese Dual Sport now. I'll get an E36 M3 one day.

This slab of magnificence. Burned more oil than it did petrol, used to run it on tesco value 20w50 as it went through it so fast and it was the cheapest stuff I could find

ITT: absolutely retarded drivers

Pic related was my first car that my parents lent me. I didn't crash it, nobody else totaled it, it's still sitting in their driveway. Comfy as fuck car.

My first. I miss this thing, especially since its always being posted here

I'm still driving mine. BMW E46 3 series coupe. 16 years old, spent the last 8 of them with me, and runs as fine as the day it rolled off the conveyor. Only problem I had with it was removing all the rice shit the previous owner left, since he was one of those dipshits who watched 2fast2furious too many times and decided to be a street racer, so then he fucked up the car without knowing what the fuck he's doing. Cost me half what I paid for it just to bring it back to stock and fix his DIY "fixes", but I'm glad I did. Love the damn thing, best driving car I've ever driven.

I like VWs in general because of how they value practicality over looks (which I also like because it's plain)

First car driven was a red Corolla from 96, it was standard and unbreakable. My first car that I personally bought is my current Ford Escape and it's not horrible, but it's not my favorite either.

finally i can give that little shitty car some respect. if it wasnt for me it would have been sent to the scrapyard or just tortured to death in winter by some fags with obey caps.

My first was a 95 GMC Safari. It had easily removable first and second row bench seats and Dutch doors in the back so taking girls to the drive in theatre was always fun.

95 Civic DX

bought it off the son of my dad's coworker; the son bought it off his dad but didn't drive it after he bought it because he had a baby. I was the 3rd owner, got it with 150k miles; 5 speed, manual steering, manual windows, and working A/C.

I had just gotten a new front bumper, respray, and LS Mesh before it was stolen when I was attending a lecture at campus. I owned it for nearly 4 years before it was stolen.

I miss it every day, still hope it pops up somewhere in one piece, but it probably went to a chop shop or lying at the bottom of some cliff.
