My first car was a 1927 Model T Ford. It actually ran, but not very well. My brother and I bought it so we could fix it up and sell it. We never actually fixed anything except a broken window and we sold it a few months later. Since then I have had a host of cars, pickups, and motorcycles. Currently I have a Toyota Camry. It is one of the most reliable pieces of equipment I have ever seen.

Wow! You had a Model-T??? That's amazing! Wish I had known you when you wanted to sell it! lol. How much did you get for it, if you don't mind my asking. My first car was a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird. My dad gave it to me. Sporty little 4-speed. Was fun to drive. Since then I had a Plymouth Reliant (which wasn't so reliable! lol) and a Nissan Sentra. At one point I owned a Honda 400 and a Kawasaki 450. I don't own a car now. I prefer to walk, take public transport or ride a bike.

I was just a kid, about 15 years old. To me, at that time, it wasn't classic or antique or anything like that--it was just old. I think we got $150 for it. About 1965.

Hello trruk and welcome to mylot! My first car was a 1973 Chevy Vega. My parents gave me the down payment as a graduation gift and cosigned the loan for me. It was a decent car...until the engine started to warp and I had to trade it in for something else.

My first car is a Huydai Santro, and I am still sticking to it. The main reason being my garage is quite small, and only a small car like Santro, or the Suzuki Alto can fit into my garage. One of the reasons I am sticking to my old car, and not going in for a bigger car.

My first car was a 1969 Plymouth Fury, it was dark green. It was so huge my friends knick named it the beast. It had bench seat in the front and huge back seat. I used to pile so many people in that car you would have thought it was a mini van but of course mini van's did not exist back then. It was my parents old car that they gave me when I turned 16 it was pretty old when I got it but it still ran well at least for a couple of years and was very sturdy. It was the same car that was in the movie Christine. My friends and I had a lot of fun in that car.

Our first car was Maruti 800DX. 1988 model. My husband and son used to drive it. We love that car. But now my wants to change it, he exchanged it for a maruti alto LX1 which he only drives and where ever we go, we go by our car only and some times if we do not have any luggage, we go by our Yamaha RX100 or enfield lightning bike.

My first car was a 1999Ford Taures! I had the opportunity to drive a new Black Volkswagon Beetle but it was manual and at the time that freaked me out so I settled for the other! After awhile I told my mom I HAD to learn manual and after that I was able to drive the beetle! So I guess this was MY first REAL car....I only drove the other because I almost had to if I wanted to drive.

My first car was a Pontiac Sunbird convertible. I drove it for about seven months before it broke down. After that, I bought a Saturn SL1 and drove that for almost four years. I just got a Nissan Versa and absolutely love it. I have always been big on having fuel-efficient cars because I drive a lot.

My first car was a 1974 Chevy SS, orange and a cool muscle car back in the day. My brother raced it back then against his friend who had a 74 Road Runner. I kept that car for a long time until I sold it for junk back in the 80s, little did I know my son would have wanted it to fix up. His first car was a 74 Nova which he sold and bought a 62 Nova which was in mint condition except for the motor. The cars in my teenage days are now antiques to my children, funny how that turns out.
