My first car was a hand-me-down from my Dad when I was 16.

My first brand spanking new one I bought for myself as a college graduation gift in 1993. :)

Haven't had the chance, but my taste in cars range from 1987-1995 anyways, so I probably wouldn't buy new even if I had the cash.

Nice car though, TPark. Impressive.

1995 Dodge Neon (blew the engine at 150,000), parents bought it and I made the payments.

No new car for me, yet, but it's cool...I've got no problems with my truck (thankfully).

1968 at age 16 (actually got it when I was 15, but was not allowed to drive it on the road until I was 16). It was a '61 Ford Falcon. My friends and I called it "Homer the Helicopter" (because of the noise it made when you accelerated). I LOVED that car. Sure had a lot of fun in it.

Oh, I misread the question. That was my first car period.

My first NEW car was a 1972 Chevy Vega hatchback. I think I paid $1800 for it NEW in 1973. Had a lot of fun in that car, too.

Black? You like sweating? Black cars and trucks are like 10-20 degrees hotter in summer. Makes your AC work overtime too.

this is true, when I had the Cruiser, I could bake bread in it while I was at work. That sonofabitch was hot!

Well one thing, the car has a deal where you can auto start the car from a 100 yards away, so by the time you get in, its nice and cool.

Also, Im not in San antonio when its the hottest time of the year.

So its all good.

back then I used to get mad stares because I had one of the first PTs in SA, it was cool!

My step dad got one of the first blue PTs, he thought it looked like a mobster car. I didn't really like it till I drove it...the backseat is pretty spacious too...

11-19-2005, 03:56 PM

My first car was a hand-me-down, I got it when I was 17. It was a '90 GMC Jimmy with soooo many miles on it...I'd had it with it after it started breaking down 3 times in one week(ended up w/180,000 miles on it)

I traded it in 2004 for a slightly-used(only had 7,000 miles on it) Kia Optima, but it felt like my own new car...I love it...it's a great car and you'd never guess that Kia made it.

Well I'm sure there's a real story but the funny story goes...

An American car company called Japan and said they needed 20 new names and models for their company and Japan asked "well how soon do you need them?" American car company replies "tonight" and Japan asks "DAT SOON??!"

take a picture!

I dont have a camera.

I just got done polishing it.

If anyone goes to the game tonight, my car is in the parking lot across from Freeman close to the exit road splitting the lots.

Its black with chrome, and has a spoiler.

BTW, polished up and washed??

ITs amazing how great a black car looks shined up.

SpursWoman

11-19-2005, 05:52 PM

The didn't do that for you before you drove it off the lot? :lol

T Park

11-19-2005, 05:55 PM

it was 5:00, and I had to get back home, my dog was outside, and had to get him inside and fed.

Plus, the dealers do a shit job, i like to take about 3-4 hours, and totally go through it.

It was in January of 1999. It was a 99 Chevy Malibu.

I am another used car buyer myself. I can't justify sinking more money than I need to into an asset that depreciates very quickly due to the amount of mileage I put on it. I use it for business.

Congrats Tpark. I love black vehicles. The car I drive now is black with black leather interior. Tinted windows and a sunshade and SA summers are no problemo.
