So what was your first car?
mowed lawns to pay 1500 for it.
it was nothing but trouble, but i learned a hell of a lot from it.
Feel free to bash, but then you have to post your own.

1988 civic 4wd wagon with a d16z6 swap. I loved that car. Swap did not make it very fast but I drove them stock before, and vtec makes it much better(though the sohc vtec is hard to feel). The low first gear could get that bastard to crawl up some pretty impressive inclines(for a civic)
I had it lowered on coilovers for a while, and then lifted(like a half inch maybee) with accord springs and shocks, and 65 profile tires. I liked it better lifted. I could beat the **** out of that car when it was lifted.
if I had the cash I would buy it back from my friends brother and turbo it tommorow

Bah, you guys have it easy. My first was a 1974 Gold Duster. Slant 6 (no power), 3 speed automatic. Handling was massive understeer with a sudden and unpredictable transition to massive over steer. 4 wheel drums, so it didn't stop worth a damn, either. Learned to drive it like I stole it, so when I finally got a decent car (1981 Toyota Celica), I could keep up with most people with better cars.
The Miata is a weekend toy, and my 7th or 9th car, depending on if you count the ones I bought for the wife.

1983 ford escort L. had it for five years. that car had the DNA of a rock crawler and dune buggy in it. it'd been on the Pismo Beach dunes more than once. It held 9 people comfortably. very comfortably if you consider 2 women on your lap comfortable.

1970 Oldsmobile 98 LS Holiday Sedan
455 CID
still have it, though it's pretty much just collecting rust these days :(
More or less, just waiting on the right tub to drop the motor into...
