What was the first vehicle that you had purchased, or perhaps, been given to you as a gift..? Anything from the make to the model to the year to a description about the vehicle and maybe a memory of it, if you will! :)
For me, it was a 1999 Honda Civic DX (4 door) in black. Actually, I still own it. Some days I wish I had a newer car, but it still drives like a beauty, and for the age of the car, has low KM's (like I say, only for its age, that is!)

Ha-ha, look at the license plate.
I live in California, but I have never seen that license plate yet. Maybe one day, lol.
My first car that I learned to drive was a 1990 Toyota Camry which was purchased by my parents when they found out they were pregnant with me because before that they had a truck and my older sister (3 seats). My first car given to me was a 1999 Honda Accord LX. My first car purchased for me as a high school graduation present was a 2009 Toyota Corolla Sport (now I've sold that) and I have a 2016 Honda Accord Sport.

It'd be cool to come across that license plate, haha. There are some interesting ones out there.
It doesn't snow here but the Nissan Pathfinder sounds like a great choice for snow. My family loves Honda and Toyota Cars for the reliable, easy to maintain and reasonably priced!
Honda Civics are nice also! My boyfriend has owned a few, currently he has a 2010 Honda Civic Si Coupe. They are releasing a Type R soon in late 2017. I also like the concept Honda Hatchback they may be bringing back! They also gossiped about redesigning the S2000, but that isn't official.
The Accord is more spacious! It's nice! Not a luxurious car but I'm happy with the purchase!

@infatuatedbby Yeah, agreed. And for sure :)
Ah, I had a feeling it might not snow there, but was not completely sure. Lucky you! :D Yeah, my brother and mom have Acura's, so, more or less Honda, I guess maybe a step up though.
Ooh nice, your boyfriend has good taste, haha. Ah, I have no idea what the Type R is, I will have to look that up! Holy smokes, it sounds like you know a lot about cars! All I know or used to know was from playing games like Gran Turismo, but sounds like you know way more than me haha :)
Yeah, the Accord is definitely way more spacious, I love that about them. My civic feels so small to me, especially in the back of it, but I mostly drive alone, so not a huge deal. Well, I'm glad you are happy with the purchase, that's great! :)

Haha, yeah, I thought the license plate was pretty funny too! :D I hope you do come across it one day!
Alright, well if we are talking about first cars that we learned to drive on.. For myself, it was a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder! I loved driving that thing so much. The thing drove great in the winters, in the snow, as well! The first car given to you, is pretty close to the first car I got (and still have) both Honda, just yours was an Accord, so I guess a bit better haha. Ooh nice, you got a Corolla as a graduation present, thats great! :) Sounds like you have driven a few cars, heh :P How do you like your 2016 Honda Accord Sport?? That sounds like it would be an amazing car! I love Honda cars! I love Civics but I always liked the Accord line too, seem like they have more room probably..? And are more sedan like if I am not mistaken. I dunno I am probably just a rambling fool, I dont know that much about cars really haha ;p

Our first vehicle was a third-hand Toyota Hilux. After a few years, we bought a brand new Isuzu Hilander SLX AUV which is now 18 years old but still in very good running condition.

Very cool! :) I love big SUV/truck/crossover type vehicles like that!
Also, my Honda Civic is around 17 years old or so, so our vehicles are pretty close in age! My car is also in very good running condition, and only has about 175 000 KM on it, which is pretty good for the age. Even when I got it, about 6 years ago, I have only put like.. 36 000 KM or so in that time, it's like nothing really :)

@sunrisefan Yes, you're right. All, very true!
Also, unfortunately, the car in the picture is not mine! Haha, I wish that was my car.. If I ever get around to taking a picture of my car I will post it or something :) But I might need to go wash it first, hah.

@mawdest Honda have good and sturdy vehicles. They're quite expensive than other brands but you get your money's worth. Despite being 17 years old, your car still looks new.

My first car was a 1960 Rambler Station Wagon, Push-button Automatic. It lasted about six months and blew the engine. That was back in the days when you could buy used cars for under $100.00 here in the U.S. So, I went out and bought another junker.

Wow, very cool! That's quite unfortunate that the engine blew, but it's alright if they were cheap to begin with I suppose.
I remember my mom talking about how cheap cars were back in that time period as well.. But she started driving in like the mid 1970's but still I am sure cars were still fairly cheap then too or so she says they were.. She told me that they had a lot of station wagon type cars that they went through a lot haha. Not sure if they were Rambler or not.
Anyways, thanks for sharing this, very interesting to hear!

Very good! I usually am not in to Ford vehicles myself, unless they are some of the sports cars/older trucks or something like that. But I respect that you like Ford, of course! Personally, I am in to GM mostly but more so Japanese comapanies, particularly Honda, sometimes Nissan and Toyota

No car. I purchased a second hand "Bajaj Discover 135cc" bike from my earnings.
