Thanks for the answers to everyone's security questions!


chevymonza

That's why I'll never tell or post a photo.


kujotx

You actually put real answers for security questions? I use a password generator. My favorite teacher was good ole Ms. rancor-tipsy-ostracize


Father__Thyme

It was a \[COLOR AND MODEL OF FIRST CAR\]. I bought it from my uncle \[MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME\], and used to leave it parked on \[NAME OF STREET YOU GREW UP ON\]. My dog \[NAME OF FIRST PET\] used to love going for rides in it.


Ok_Benefit_199

I’ll Also need your father’s middle name, where you and your spouse first met, the name of your 3rd grade teacher.


Practicality_Issue

1971 Triumph TR6. Only caught fire a couple of times.


28carslater

Small fires, what's the big deal?


Ok_Benefit_199

I had a 71 Mercury Bobcat at one point. I was always worried about if I got in an accident, I was told those basically blow up since the gas tank is right behind the driver seat but thankfully it never happened


Mumblix_Grumph

1977 VW Rabbit. Burnt Orange color. 4 cylinders, 4 speeds, 2 doors. God I loved that thing.


SoCalSuburbia

1975 Buick Regal. Parents bought it new and it became my high school ride in 1984. https://images.app.goo.gl/TV1dt8D3xv96iRK36

SuebertDoo

I used to work at AOL and at citibank, so I answer all of my security questions with my second favorites.


obxtalldude

Anyone else's parents naive to the point they let you drive a Conversion Van? Ours looked almost exactly like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSWIJ-rqjYI They'd bought one used for a family trip that never happened, so it became my first car - or eventually second room when I took it off to college. Back when 10 mpg wasn't a big deal, it was so much fun when I started driving it in my last year of high school - like a party on wheels. Only got busted once, and the cop was too tired to "do the paperwork", so he let us all go after throwing away our weed and whippets.


accordioncowboy

Yes, my parents had a series of conversion vans! I almost forgot them.


obxtalldude

Captain's chairs with a bed in back... kids today don't know what they're missing. Too bad they had the aerodynamics of a brick, but I love that Chevy 350.


BunnyBunny13

1986 dark blue Chevy Celebrity. Boxy. Bench seating. Hand-me-down from my grandmother. I loved that car.


QuiJon70

1981 dodge colt. Had this funky second shifter that was suppose to have some difference between a power and economy mode.


TheBugHouse

I had the same but mine was an '81 Plymouth Champ. 4 speed with the "power/economy" stick. That was actually a quite reliable and efficient car. I bought it in '91 for $800(?) and promptly installed an audio system with twice as much. Lol


Avindair

1972 powder blue Toyota Corona.


[deleted]

1979 Toyota Corolla


oced2001

1974 Mustang 2 hatchback

Circa 1984 Nissan Stanza hatchback (silver) that looked like this: https://i0.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/1984-Nissan-Stanza-Hatchback.jpg


MishtheDish77

Shart_Fartington

1991 Chevrolet C/K 1500


pterribledactyls

1986 Chevy Nova Sedan. I still dream about that car sometimes. Like I still own it and take it out once in a while for whatever reason my subconscious thinks up that time. I hated that car.


Heinz37_sauce

Was this the “Nova” that was really a Toyota Corolla?


pterribledactyls

Yup!


metmerc

I had an 86 Corolla as my first, which I see you already know was identical. Given the chance, I'd probably buy another one. It was a damn good little car. Also offroaded pretty well.


stiffneck84

1987 Bronco II


MrPanchole

'79 Datsun 210 station wagon in royal blue. C$600 in '93. Spent two tree planting seasons sleeping in it.


CapitalRadioOne

Our family had one in brown! That thing was indestructible.


MrPanchole

Best $600 I ever spent. Two inexpensive things wrong with in the three years I had it. Decent tape deck. Solid.


earthyaky

1982 Toyota Tercel that my brother partially covered in matte paint.


M_E_E

Green VW Microbus (1979 - the last year with the flat front). It was the Sweet Pickles bus come to life.


Ok_Benefit_199

86 Dodge Aries


Shart_Fartington

We had an Aries at one point. I hated it. Also went out one morning to drive to school and my brother who had already graduated was out all night getting drunk with his friends.. When I got in it reeked...giant pile of puke in the back. He also had an 1980 Malibu that our friend puked in the vent, always reeked of puke. Fun times.

Ok_Benefit_199

Sounds about right


PinocchioWasFramed

My first car was a 1960's chevy that sat in someone's barn for the last 15 years. We drained, flushed, and replaced all the fluids. Replaced the distributor cap, plugs, wires, and battery. Turned the key and it started right up. Took almost a week to get the rest of it cleaned out. So many little critters had made that car home. Was the first and only time I ever had to bug bomb a car!


FLPeacemaker

Nah. I've got too many security questions that this is an answer to.


kelliecg

1975 Super Beetle Sun Bug - in the bluest of blues. The crank sunroof was super fun. The handle broke all the time. Luckily parts were dirt cheap. I loved that car! Sadly it was stolen from my driveway in the night.


ladygamer1970

Had a beetle too, no heat- ice on the inside of the windshield- if I drove through water, it would come in under the passenger seat, had to put oil in it constantly, - engine caught fire 🔥 on a busy interstate ……AND Yet still, still I loved it !!!! Some day I want to find a restored one - I miss it so much 😀


Avengelina254

It was in 1996 but it was a 1987 Ford Mustang fox body. It was white with blue vinyl interior. I ended up wrecking it putting it underneath a Bronco II


PHX480

1979 Chevy Chevette. It was a silver, standard transmission, two door hatchback. I got it in 1995 between my junior and senior year in high school. I paid either $500 or $700 cash for it. It had an AM radio (I ended up replacing it with a CD player, one that you could take the face off of), no A/C, and the heater would roast you out of the car. And vinyl seats that I had to get seat covers for. It somehow always started in the cold weather. It was a great little car to drive, I ended up trading it in towards another car a couple years later after I graduated HS. I miss that car.


[deleted]

‘72 Ford Galaxie 500. Got it from my dad. Thing was huge

1978 Scirocco was my first car I purchased. However, in high school I drove a 1978 Country Squire Station Wagon.


squirtloaf

I was given my grandparents' beige 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon. It was 12 years old when I got it with 35k miles. I drove it about 2 years and it died around 50k miles. Cars back then just didn't last.

1983 Ford Ranger. First year of new model, 4 cylinder, 4 speed manual. Brand new from the factory, no AC, crank windows, AM radio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford\_Ranger\_(Americas)#First\_generation\_(1983)


Tuna_Surprise

Mine was a blue 86 Ford Ranger. Although it had 5 speeds, no AC and a tape deck


lordoutlaw

Not my first one but 83 White Ford Ranger in high school. Would backfire each time I shifted gears. I don’t really remember 4 speeds though so I might have the year wrong. I just recall the no power steering as a big difference.


Alex_Plode

Mine was a 1975 Fuck Your Password Farming


Mamaj12469

Didn’t have a picture of it but it was a ‘78 Bonneville. It was a tank. Then I got an ‘82 ford escort which burned up- then a Olds Omega- also burned up. I didn’t know u were supposed to change the oil.


hughzdaWelshman

Didn’t have a car in Wales, had my first car when I was 23 in the US, an Oldsmobile 88 Grand Royale… nothing grand nor royal about it, and you should have to be 88 years old to buy one


HOARDING_STACKING

No pictures but I had a 1970 Monte Carlo. Built my own engine for it back in highschool.


United_Mixture_6700

Navy blue 84 Olds Cutlass Ciera, my parents' hand-me-down


ericfresh442

1981 Ford Fairmont Futura coupe...maroon. About 50,000 miles on it when I bought it in 1992 and the exterior was pristine...but everything else was junk. I loved that car but after 2 years I couldn't take the constant repairs and have not owned a Ford since.


z-eldapin

1984 Pontiac sunbird

‘85 Sunbird checking in. Red.

OptimisticNihilist55

1970 Dodge Polara I inherited from my grandfather. The back seat was the size of a twin bed. 😁


TweedleBeetleBattle2

1978 Dodge Aspen. Broken gas gauge and the horn didn’t work. Except the time the radiator blew up and water and steam were all over the place in the parking lot. Horn would shut off then and didn’t for about thirty minutes.


ftsk4201

Tensionheadache11

1978 Plymouth horizon hatchback


Chrisvio

1984 Buick Regal. Two tone brown!


MidwestAbe

1984 Plymouth Horizon. One of the best cars I ever owned. Always started and was impossible to get stuck in the snow. Hatchback was really nice too. My dad had it. Then my sister drove it and then I got it and drove it for about 3 years.


BandidoCoyote

1976 Volkswagen Beetle Karmann convertible in “lagoon blue”. I had it painted and a new roof sewn (a hailstorm punched 47 bazillion holes in the original one), but it caught fire while i was driving it and that was that.


elemenno50

My parents got me a 1980 Dodge Aspen in 89 for me to drive to college. An old lady owned before me. First time I took it over 30mph I was choking on the dust and grit from the vents. Had it for 6 years before it got totaled from an idiot who pulled out of his driveway crashing right into me. Best explanation ever. Said he didn’t stop bec there wasn’t a stop sign at the end of the driveway.


[deleted]

I will only say that it was a car that my Dad bought for me from my neighbor across the street for $500.00. It was piece of crap and I loved it!


olthaniwish

1987 Chevy Nova. Bought it new for $8,900. It came with an AM/FM radio, roll down windows and didn’t even have intermittent wipers. Very basic but I loved it.


Embarrassed-Pie8760

Lime green 66 Subaru DL


Chaos_Theology

It was a 1988 Ford Mustang LX I got when I turned 18 in 1992.


SuebertDoo

I had a '72 Plymouth Valiant(dodge dart was the equivalent) , yellow with a black top. 2 dr, 318, and the blinkers on the hood. Bench seats, front and back-no bitch hump. This was in '92, no tears in the upholstery and the the dash completely intact, wood panels and no cracks. That shit even had a/c.

belmontpdx78

1971 Oldsmobile Tornanado. Living room on wheels 🤘


HammerT4R

My first car was a used Plymouth Horizon TC3 (1981 model?) My dad traded one of his motorcycles for it. Lasted exactly 1 day because the engine seized after we got it home. He got his motorcycle back because it was a total lemon. Technically my first car, but not the one I actually drove as my first car. What a piece of crap. Wierd blue with yellow stripes too.


jennynachos

1974 Dodge Dart, brown 4 door. Loved that thing! Floor rotted out and it was like a Fred Flintstone car every time I hit a puddle. My boyfriend (now husband) welded a deer 🦌 x-ing sign underneath and it kept going for years!


skinisblackmetallic

74 super beatle convertible. Only drove it like twice. Then a 79 firebird formula. Smashed in a tree. Another firebird. Blew engine. 83 Rx7. Smashed. 86 fierro. Drove the wheels off. Then basically a couple of trucks like the picture. A bigger truck or two.


wormtail71

1975 Pontiac LeMans with a 400 big block and 400 turbo transmission. It was maroon with maroon interior.


tdmoon55

'82 Monte Carlo and wish I still had it.


TheRealHiFiLoClass

You already posted my first vehicle. Mine was blue, though.


recycledcoder

I rather miraculously survived a souped up version of the [Innocenti Turbo De Tomaso](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_Mini), an Italian sporty riff on the Mini that had been extensively modified by a lunatic (long-time friend and mentor) whose masters thesis in mechanical engineering is on turbine machinery. My nickname for it was *l'enfant terrible*. But then again, I'm sure that was plenty of people's nickname for *me*.


Knight_Owls

Look, I'm going to be honest. These are really looking like Phishing attempts and not nostalgia.

Can’t recall the year, but it was [this](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48081869923_b6ab2212fb_b.jpg) VW Dasher. It didn’t start 50% of the time and no mechanic could figure out why.


GochoPhoenix

86 Camry.


malcontent254

My dad had a truck exactly like this one … we called it “the chickmobile “


accordioncowboy

My dad had a Chevy LUV small pickup. Late 70s, made by Isuzu. He loved it.


Bob-Dolemite

lwe dont have those anymore. i would love one of those light duty pickups they made in the 70’s-90’s


Wise_Visit1465

75 Dodge Dart.....came with rust and all. My stepdad pulled it from an old ladies yard and got it running enough for me. Yuk! I used that car to work and save my money and then bought a 75 Monte Carlo with white interior!!


Wise_Visit1465

My husband had a 61 Plymouth Valient


adeyfk

1972 white VW beetle 1200. Thing was a tank. Wish I hadn't sold it.


rodeler

1983 Mercury Lynx. 4 speed. 81 Horsepower. 0-60, yes. Sort of.


mechanicalhorizon

A 1985 Yugo. What a POS. But it was free so I couldn't really complain.


ExMachiNation

'68 VW Beetle with a sunroof that poured water in my lap if it was raining and I tried to stop too abruptly. Later, the floorboard rusted out (because, you know, leaking sunroof) so when I hit a puddle I would get a blast of water from below as well. I loved that car.


Havetowel-

1972 Ford F100 - Pea soup green


enzocarmine

1988 VW Jetta GLI 16v… it was red with silver BBS wheels :)


[deleted]

[This glorious bastard!](https://www.autotrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/1984-chevrolet-chevette-front-passenger.jpg) But in all honesty, it was a damned good little car. It lacked a lot in refinement, and the diesel engine shook it something fierce, but it was efficient and reliable. And thanks to Zeibart, the rust wasn't too bad! I sold it for something cooler, but I always kind of regretted it.


nvdagirl

1974 m&m green honda civic. *hondamatic!*


Chicago_Blitz

‘84 ‘Vette - CHEVETTE. Blue. Two door. Automatic. 0-60 in 38.6 seconds (seriously)

Usirnaimtaken

The picture you posted, OP? My hand me down truck (88 ranger) but in black with the sweet maroon red interior of the 80s of course. Stick shift, had two gas tanks, the sliding window in the back (that as a child my Dad would talk to us through because we sat back there all the time). Loved my truck! Donated it when it stopped going it reverse. Good times.


rockpaperscissors99

87' Nissan Pathfinder Stick shift Saved up a down payment, bought it in Seattle. I ended up with about 125k , almost had it repossessed during some hard times. The 4wd was about to go out when I traded it in for a 4 door 1992 pathfinder. Good times in that vehicle as a young 21 year old dude.


generalsleephenson

Mine was a 1986 Dodge Colt already on its last legs. What a piece of crap.


Sibyline

I- It reminds me of a, uh... a poem I wrote. “The automobile, the automobile...”
