it was 5 years old at the time and I paid 900 bucks for it, which for a 17 year old is a lot of money.

3 years until I just had to admit defeat. It was a real shitbox.
>how does it compare to subsequent cars
I've learned to hold out and invest in superior cars since then. It is easily the worst car I've ever owned.
>any memories that stand out
I hit a kid on a skateboard in my neighborhood once. I wasn't going very fast but I thought I hurt him really badly. He got up, said sorry (it was definitely his fault) and got back on his board. I also drove to San Jose from Phoenix by myself (no friends) on the last day of high school. Didn't tell anybody, just did it. Dad was pissed when I got back but it was worth it.

I learned so much from that car. Bought it as a heap for $100. Rebuilt the engine, changed fluids, new clutch, used tank, interior and seats from a salvage some guy was parting out in the penny pincher. got all the door and trunk seals off the salvage to.

It was a beat to hell piece of shit that I fixed up and hooned around the county with when I was in high school. Every car I've had after it has been an upgrade, but none yielded the same feeling of freedom one gets from their first car.

I actually was able to directly reapply some of what I learned from working on it later. My third car was a '91 Mustang GT 25th. Got it w/ no motor or gearbox and decided to go with a 351c. Best worst idea ever.

1999 Mustang V6 5-speed. I bought it with 85k in June of 2007 bone stock needing tires, a window motor, and brakes for $1800. I replaced the window motor and did all 4 pads and rotors (just to learn how to do them) and then got the wheels, tires, and headlights with ~500 miles on them from some kid who was in deep shit for stealing his dads credit card lol. I paid $750 for everything. I traded the car in September with 93k and got $6500 for it somehow.

Ford Tempo Sport GL 2-door. It made a whopping 100 HP and was pigfat, but man I had some great times in that car. Was also a manual so I learned how to drive the right way. I eventually traded it in on a Festiva (why) but I'll always have a spot in my heart for that Tempo.

The lack of everything (power steering, traction control, airbags, doors thicker than paper, stereo, AC) made it a ton of fun.
You had to use a choke in the winter, often go full throttle to keep up with traffic, and cornering at normal traffic speeds was frightening on its thin motorcycle tires
At some point the window wouldn't close without stopping, so I always drove with open windows
Then the brakes failed downhill and only the engine and the emergency brake saved me
That's when I had it crushed
I never took a picture and regret that deeply

About $3500, sold it for a bit over $5000 a few months later as it then had new tires, a few fixed issues and new shocks

Technically I had my Cherokee first, but first car I bought myself was an 89 240sx with a s14 ka swap with cams and forged internals but no turbo (P.O. wanted to keep it for his car). Paid 2k in 2011.
Still have it but it is torn down to just the shell currently. Stole all of the good parts to put on my s13 vert summer day cruiser car. Plan to get it going again with a better motor after I get the vert done and redo all the suspension on its shell.
It was the most fun vehicle in my small group of high school friends so we used to pile into it then go tear around the IL/MO back roads all night in the summer. Never wrecked or spun surprisingly, but a wheel did fall off as I came to a stop once not even 10 minutes after some spirited driving topping around 120ish. Probably the closest I had come to dying.

Use to share a car with the mother, got kicked out. moved on in live, started working ect.
Still 18, and looking to buy my first car, whats the reliability upkeep cost of a 2010 bmw e90? around 60-70000 miles? worth it as a first car? cost isnt to much of an issue, but dont want it to be outrageously expensive on upkeep. It will be bought cash, so im not leasing it or any of that.

Odd part was I was young and it was my first car, when I first got it I washed it, cleaned it out, and wasn't satisfied, I unbolted all the seats, covers, dash and cleaned the whole car up and washed the interior. I used to wrench on cars a lot when I was younger, not so much anymore...

My first car was a 1996 Nissan Quest.

Not a terrible first car, by and by. It was big enough to make me learn the car's dimensions quickly, and the torquey-if-underpowered engine made it have enough punch that it wasn't left completely in the dust, but not enough power to get into any real trouble.

Plus it was big enough for me to carry any and all of my friends if we wanted to go somewhere.

The windows started falling off, and we ended up junking it after it barely limped it's way to like 170k miles. Engine was fine, for what it's worth, but the suspension had long since gone, it needed new wheels, a new radiator, a new AC condenser, and a rear window, the sunroof, and the windsheild all had to be replaced. At that cost to get it in good running order again, we just ended up buying an old Merc E300 for about $1000 less than fixing it would have been. (The merc was also a killer deal, and a diesel, which helped depress the price)

The shitbox simply not picking up speed whenever it rained. Especially fun on motorways. RPM's went up but speed did not. Horrible. Once we spraypainted the thing full of bad jokes and drove it around town on a beautiful summer evening. The best memory there is.

All together, it was a dreadful car. But it had like 600k km on the clock and it was almost 30 years old... A summer car it was meant to be and a summer car it was. Rust in pieces, mighty Nigger Harvester.

White '86 MR2. Cost me £2100 and another £1500 to insure it.
Only had it 6 months before I got hit head on while waiting to make a junction.
Second/current car is a 2003 MR2 so they stack up pretty evenly. Gotta say the AW11 is the more comfortable out of them for long drives though.
Besides the crash? Taking a girl out for a drive after a Halloween party and then cruising back to her place through thick fog with Kavinsky's Outrun in the CD player.
Learning to left foot brake and left foot throttle on the 200+ mile motorway journey when I got bored.
On the way back from that holiday we stopped off at the Haynes Motor Museum and going through a village I got a nod off of an E-Type driver.

Was completely outclassed by stripped out hondas. And Imma shite driver.

Alo blew a shock going around the fastest corner on the track, leading to a hideous high-speed aw-shit-were-hitting-the-barrier-at-120kph spin. The sort that really fucks your confidence and makes you not want to go back out and break it because you need to go to work Monday.

Thinking of replacing it with a new Mx-5 because age is not being kind.

I bought a 87 944S, with a s2 swap in it when I was 19. I bought it before the price for them skyrocketed for 3.5k and a 600 dollar Jackson guitar as a trade. It had 80k miles when I bought it, lasted me 6 years as a daily driver till the water pump died and I wasn't interested in fixing it. I miss it more than any ex ever though...I watched the kid I sold it to burn up the clutch putting it on the back of a trailer. Made me so sad. I still remember sliding around corners and midnight drives with my third shift bros in their miatas and rx8s

I haven't owned another car but I've driven a few. Feels sluggish, slow, and sloppy handling but it's a truck. It has been reliable as fuck and I do all the work myself on it. No dents no scratches no nothing.

1990 Chevrolet Astro

Got it from my younger sister for $75; I only owned it for a year before it's demise, but I regularly drove it for 5 years.

Compared to my '94 Corolla, '90 and '05 Accords, it was pretty shitty when it came to performance, but it could haul shit.

I once rear-ended a Nissan Maxima in 2007 and slipped on some black ice which sent me in a 900° spin in 2010.

Turbo X is two steps up. This is the Fwd version with auto and it is pretty sick. I dont really speed, but it sure is great for overtaking. This thing is best in the 60/80 to 200kph drags so I easily get up to 180kph when some slow Civic is in front. Otherwise, best cruiser out there for the price probably.

2001 Saturn L200, car was a phenomenal chunk of rolling plastic but I'll be damned if it wasn't a blast. Autotragic, got it at 116k, put 50k on it before the timing system exploded, used it to deliver pizzas in the ghetto as my first job at 16. Almost got car jacked, shot, watched someone get shot, stabbed, and almost flipped thanks to a soccer mom in an SUV. Learned how to snow drift in it and almost ended up in ditches multiple times, will forever miss that car.

The wagon is a fucking blast to drive. Surprisingly fast and agile, and can carry pretty much anything. I will kind of miss the wagon, but it's my mom's baby, so I never really thought of it as my own car.
I hate driving the Corolla but it does its job. Very bland compared to the MR2 and wagon. Can't wait to dump it on my brother once the MR2 is in proper driving condition.
Rock Auto is a godsend. Waiting on rotors and caliper rebuild kits.

The MR2 is by far my favorite of the bunch. Just picked it up recently, haven't had the chance to really find the limits (needs brakes, tires), but it makes me smile the whole time. No other car has made me smile this much.

My first car that i had any autonomy over was the family 1999 Taurus SE

My grandpa got it new. Handled pretty ok until the shocks died, great cruiser around metro Detroit. I will say that thing was a tank, we owned in for 20 years put 170k+ on it and only ever did shocks, front springs, ball joints, and a fuel pump. She thrived on abuse and neglect lol.

00 intrigue
$2000 USD
Had it since October 2015
Only had one car after it, a Miata, but the intrigue makes more power and is safer to drive, and is big and comfy on the inside. Very nice cruising car
There's been a few memorable moments I guess. The car broke down about 5 times in a single month, the fuel pump was shot and it left me stranded
"Hey watch this sick drift" -CLUNK-
Went drifting around in the snow, a cop was watching me one day and just smiled at me instead of stopping me. Also spun out a few times, no damage tho ayy
Took it to Boston and back with friends with no issues, fucking comfy as hell
Raced my friends all the time with it down twisty back roads
