What was your very first car?

Mine was a Lynx Mercury (gray) And did I love that car because it meant some freedom!

1979 Honda Civic I bought for $550 my Senior year of HS. It was a great first car.

Mine was a '91 Mitsubishi Galant. It was a gift when I went off to college....

*memories*

78 Ralley Sport Camero. Low Racing Gears, headers with a Hemi, and a clean 350 small-block. Wow what alot of traffic violations I got, I had to get rid of it.. I bought a radar detector, but could never hear the thing over the engine.

1977 Nova
I totaled it. I still wish I had it. It was so reliable

76 Buick Century...pale yellow

 

[1956Ford]

1977 Black Pontiac Trans Am
I sold it like a Nut. But, I bought a Black 78 Trans Am a few months ago and I have no plans to ever sell this one. I love Trans Ams. I'll probably be driving my Trans Am when I'm 80 if I live that long.

1982 Camaro Z28 (midnight blue, with a manual transmission). It was a fixer-upper that I fixer-upped before going to college. That car was a lot of fun. Unfortunately school costs money, so the camaro had to be sold.

Now, after nearly 10 years of driving family sedans, I have another Camaro (1996, T-tops, medium blue, automatic, loaded). But unlike my first car, this one is in great shape from the get-go.

Mine was an '89 Ford Tempo. It caught on fire about 6 months after I bought it. Then I got a old beater for $100 that lasted me 2 years - go figure.

1981 Mercury Capri aka The Beast.....I will always have fond memories of that piece of junk.

1979 Chevette....... I had the Van Halen logo handpainted on the hatch window. I really thought I was somethin' .

 

[KnowBeDo]

1974 Pontiac Grand Prix. That thing was an absolute tank. It had a 400ci engine. It is a wonder I survived all of the stupid things I did with that car.

Hee hee, what a coincedence that the Op's first car was a Lynx! Mine was SUPPOSED to be our blue Lynx. I was seventeen, and paid 500.00 down payment on it. My parents told me it would be mine when I was 18. Then my parents divorced when I was still seventeen. Mom didn't let me have the car. When I moved out on her, I had to get me a car and I bought a 91 Cavalier Rally Sport in silver. That was in 93. Only problems I had with the car was with the starter! I had that car for ten years. And traded it in just a couple of years ago! Hard to imagine huh? My second vehicle ever is my 2002 Kia Van. I still can't believe that my first car saw me through family turmoil, loss of my mom, my marriage, and bringing home our son, who was two when we let it go. It was the greatest!!

Mine was a 1987 Mazda 323. I didn't buy it until after high school, at 19 years old, and paid cash for it. Before that I drove Mom's 1979 Buick Le Sabre. Nice car!

Well look at all these nice cars listed her in this thread.

I had a beat up old Ford Maverick. It was a hand-me-down from my older sister (story of my life). It had a dent in nearly every panel but BOY was THAT car SAFE! AND it was FREE! It still will crank today, not that I'd want it on the highway or anything mind you. Although I'm a bit upset that my little brother didn't have to drive it as his first car! But then I moved up in the world to a uh Fiat. Now there was a car (said sarcasticly).
Now I LOVE my nissan sentra I drive today..it just took my awhile to work up that far lol

1983 Mercury Lynx, just like the OP. Blue 4 speed. That car saw me through some pretty cool times! My friend had a Chevette! That was a pretty fun car to! It was a very, hummm.. funny brown color!

Great post! Takes me back to the day! Thanks!

OOOOOOOHhhhhhhhh the chevette. HA HA HA, now that is one heck of a car. My friend had one, and that thing was ran so ragged. There was a hole in the floor on the passenger side from being rusted through! And one time we got stuck in snow, so me and her got out and just pushed it out. Ha ha ha, I don't think we could have pushed any other car. Boy she gave that car Heck in big snow piles!
