First car was a mid 70s Peugeot 504 diesel. An impressive 65 BHP if I remember correctly

'87 Golf $200
'92 Mustang 4 cyl $1000
'96 Escort GT $2500
'94 Mustang GT $6500
'01 Tracker $8000
'99 Miata $7000

The golf i only had for like a month before the mustang but both of them were total shitboxes. The mustang had a different drivers door, no exhaust after the cat, shitty interior, bad tranny, and the heat/power windows would stop working if it was too humid out. I still have the tracker and miata.

Oldsmobile? Is that a real car brand or is that slang for something? LOL!

My first car was an '88 Holden Gemini, it had a bullet proof Isuzu engine. Never changed the oil, just topped it up when the warning light came on.

After that I got a '96 Civic sedan. I fiddled with the suspension and got into circuit racing with this one.

Then I got a '05 Golf 2.0 TDI. Brilliant car but too many little issues bothered me enough to not want to keep it outside warranty. Only car I have ever (and most likely will ever) buy new.

Next up was an '04 MSM. Nice car, but stupid diff ratio and lack of steering feedback. I liked to drive older fives over this one.

Now I have an '89 MX-5 that I tinker with all the time. It has a few annoying rattles but good apart from that.

When I look back I also realize that cars I wanted then I would want nothing to do with now for various reasons. My top three when I was 15 were 300z TT 3000gt TT and the IROC Camaro. Thank god I didn't have the means to get into one of those.

'85 doodoo brown Chevy Cavalier in '96- POS that would not die

'97 miata in '01 - still have it
'03 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0 - bought new Loved this truck, ran into the back of a tacoma going 40 while half asleep. Did not get a scratch
'84 Ford ranger in '05, $500 truck with 200k that was all original and would not stop running. I'd still have it, but it got stolen and was worthless when recovered.
'97 Honda Civic - Ran completely into the ground, beat to hell with 160k pizza delivery miles. Some poor ******* gave me $1400 for it. Have no Idea why it would be worth more than $300 to anybody.
'04 Prius- 60 MPG Bitches! still have it. More gadets than a space shuttle.
'06 Scion xB - Steaming Pile of Shat. only 20k miles and already falling apart. traded it on...
'93 Honda accord. 16 years old, 80k miles, and pristine condition - my new daily just bought it.... Cheap, and no more car payments!

I'm 26, and that's 9 cars so far.

Yeah, it's for real, LOL. Its (it was) a branch of GM. They used to make cool stuff... Google Oldsmobile 442. I's hard to sell new cars with "old" in the name.
