I also remember packing my life into it and moving across the country with my boyfriend last year! Funny, I just did a goodbye post to my first car!

They planned to give it to me as a birthday present as long as I kept my grades up. Well, I ended up failing (D) physics so my parents punished me by not giving me my mini. :( They ended up giving me a 1999 Honda CRV instead. I name him Buzz Lightyear and I still drive him around today. FYI I didn't become a scientist. I wanted a silk green mini cooper so my parents put a deposit down on it.

I had no power locks or windows or no CD player or tape deck. When I went on car trips and wanted to listen to something besides the radio, I had to bring a boombox with me. Yeah, I loved that car.

My first car was an evergreen-colored baby Mercedes from, like, 1988. It was a dream to drive, even if the car had its share of problems. I think it broke down on every family member of mine (including my sister, who swore never to drive it again) except me. Because, obviously, it loved me. Since then, I switched to my trusty Accord. But I have fond memories of the Mercedes. Too funny! My first car was an evergreen-colored baby Mercedes from, like, 1988. It was a dream to drive, even if the car had its share of problems.

At that point I could only drive with my parents in the car, but I took advantage and so did my parents. I got my first car at 15 -- a hand-me-down from my dad -- an Oldsmobile '98 built in 1986. It was dark gray and had red velvet interior. It also had no shocks and no interior lights so we named it the Bat Mobile. As much of a POS as it was, I still miss it. I got my first license at 14!

I loved everything about it, including the Hawaiian seat covers and ridiculous bumper stickers on a 16 yr old would love on it. I took it to college but it started rusting through the doors. Sigh.

I got my license at the age of "20"! I got it because the guy I dated lived 23 miles from where I was; him on the North Shore and I was in Honolulu. I had to drive to see him.

I called it the T-Wing. My little sister wrecked it when I was in college. After that, we shared a yellow 2002 Pontiac Sunfire that my sister still drives to this day. When I got my first car as an adult, I leased a 2004 Civic--with manual locks and windows. I got rid of that after getting married and buying a Honda CRV, but I'll always love Civics.

P.O.S. It was fine for the first four years of it life and then suddenly it would STOP WORKING. While I was on the highway. Usually just as I was getting onto the highway, running about 40 mph. Just stop. Like that. Terrible. Every other month it cost $600-1,000. And so I dumped it. And I haven't looked back. Ford Contour. P.O.S.
