First: 85 Dodge Power Ram 2WD Longbed with a carb'd 318. Headlight Hi Beam switch on the floor. Loved that thing.

First Subie: 06 WRX....couldn't afford one till I got out of school and working for a while. First BRAND new car I ever bought. Got her with 6 miles. Been addicted to subies for years, though.

First car: 1989 Dodge Colt 2-Door Hatch

Got into subaru when my 03 Jetta was costing a little too much. So I picked up the Impreza in September of 2005. It's really saved me a lot of frustration come winter time. Along with all of the modding options, of course!:D

my first car, the audi, i think wa part of some big consumer scare. they appaently advertisd the vehicle as being the most agile european sport sedan of the time, and they were demonstrating on some course in germany but every one who tested them ended up crashing and totaling them out lol. they had problems like sticking throttles and what not :eek:

also, i heared there used to be t-shirts that said: I Survived the Audi 5000 Crash Test :rofl:

1st....87 Escort GT

You too? My condolences. Did the front seats stay upright unassisted? Mine was a rusty blue over gray on gray hatch, famous for one tire burnouts at the CMC autocrosses circa Y2K. I don't regret having such a great beater for a first car, but it bled me dry financially and only left me walking home when I was 10 miles away from home during winter.

First Subie that captured my interest was a black on gray '87 GL wagon, EA82, 3AT, 2wd, purchased in '92 after LordBass totalled our father's '88 Excel GLS 5D. Slower than the blazes but unstoppable by snow, rot, and neglect.

I concentrated on '80s models until the '99 RS came out, and got serious in the scene just before the WRX hit dealers in '01.

My vehicle ownership list goes as follows:

2001 VW New Beetle - Good price, ridiculous repair costs
2005 Dodge SRT-4 - Best car evar! My favorite anyways.
2001 Mazda Protege - I loved that thing, unfortunately some a-hole from North Carolina T-boned me in his F-350, totalling it.
1978 Kawasaki KZ305 - My first bike, decent starter. Got my license on it.
2001 Honda Civic DX - Decent strip-o car, 200k and still running. FOR SALE!! :lol:
1998 Suzuki GSXR 600 - First sportbike, excellent condition, great price, only 13k miles. Put 4k miles on it and sold it for $200 less than I bought it for.
2008 Kawasaki Z1000 - My 2nd sportish bike, bought it new for $1000 off MSRP end of year sale.

2001 Honda Civic LX - Buying this from my sister in March, 96k miles, auto + fully loaded. Great DD.

Thankfully I'm fortunate enough to have parents who pay my tuition. The car payments are wicked easy. I put a hefty chunk down on it and nailed ultra low interest.

My first vehicle was a 1992 Toyota Celica ST. I got this car right after I got my driver's license and was in the 9th grade. I drove this car all the way until my junior year of college until something bad happened. Below you can see what my car looked like before and what happened in December after getting hit head on by a tractor trailer on Route 93 in Boscawen.

It had a Weapon R short ram air intake, you may notice the rims that were on the Celica are on the WRX as well. I had a OBX twin tip exhaust on it, it also had a Blaupunkt Head Unit, Rockford amp, Sony speakers, Rockford amp and Punch Z subwoofers and a 7 inch screen with PS2.
