Spent my high school driving years borrowing my parent's 1995 Pontiac Bonneville. Loved that thing.
Bought my very own first car when I moved to California following college graduation for work. 2008 GMC Yukon - gas was knocking on $5/gallon and the recession was in full swing so they had 86 trucks on the lot. Brand new out the door for $30k TTL included. Put 175k miles on it and coincidentally just getting around to selling it out of the stable. Great truck.

I worked summers and weekends while in high school and saved enough to pay $4K for a 1996 GMC Sierra with 225K miles! Luckily the engine was recently swapped and only had 5K on it. I was 17 when I bought it.

In 1978 I was pretty lucky and had a hand me down 1975 Chevy Monte Carlo which met an untimely demise when someone ran a light and hit me. For the next 4 years I had a 1967 VW Beetle which got me through college.

Got my first car in 1996 1986 Subaru GL-10 Turbo, in Lightning Silver. Horsepower: 111 at 4800 RPM Torque: 134 at 2800 RPM It was a fun little car, and it was always under $20 to fill it up. |

1982 Ford EXP - Looked just like this one, except mine was two-tone with black on the bottom.
The EXP was a 2-door Escort with only two seats ... so like any kid in the '80s I had two ridiculous 15" RF Punch subwoofers in the back. |

My first car was a 91' Range Rover that I got for about 7k I think. Probably cost the same to keep it running for 3 years.

1967 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed. To this day one of my favorites cars. Ran is the HS drags three years on a row. If I remember we paid $2200 for this car in 1983. No show car by any means but all the original parts less the wheels.

01' Mustang GT blue and a ton of fun. Had it from junior year in HS to junior year of college. Man that thing was a ton of fun. My dad wanted to kill me for burning through tires and fuel. Learned how to correct a fishtail real quick though

2001 Toyota Tacoma - Extended Cab - SR5, 4x4, Automatic, and the big V6, not the little 4cyl - Slightly lifted, All-Terrain Tires, Flowmaster exhaust. I loved that truck.
My parents bought it for me. It was basically new with only 15k miles. I sold it and I HATE myself for it. I graduated college and wanted a nice car, but needed the money for the down payment. YOUNG AND STUPID Those things will run forever and I was basically the only owner. Sold it in 2010 with about 150k miles

Not my photo, but this

1969 GTO 4 speed manual. Verduro Green/black vinyl/black top. My father clearly did not want to pay for four years of college, but I ruined his plans and didn't kill myself in it. I have a pic but the small file sizes demanded on this site won't let me upload it. I drove (and drag raced it at the strip) for four years before trading it on a 3 year old '70 E-type roadster (pics of it as well; same deal with this site) that I drove year round through college in the Midwest. Bought the Jag with money I made summers working in the steel mills, spending every penny I had saved over two summers. Loved both in their own ways, but the XKE was the best thing ever. Never failed me and always was a delightful thrill to drive anywhere. Wire wheels with knock off hubs. Regency Red over biscuit/tan soft top/black factory fiberglass hardtop. I miss it to this day.
I have a car problem. |

1967 Power Blue 4 door Chevrolet Impala.
396 CI (325 Hp) Turbo 400 tranny and dual exhaust from the factory. Looked like an old mans car, but was a true sleeper. Felt like I was driving the Queen Mary when I took it on the highway because of it's size, and the way it handled. |

1986 or '87 Buick Le Sabre, white with blue interior. Heinous. But it was a free hand-me-down from my grandparents, who had bought it new.

1966 Sunbeam Alpine, soon followed by a 1971 Lotus Europa. Alpine bought in 1969 and Europa in 1972. Drove Europa through College in Kansas weather (and I paid for both cars myself working for the State Highway Dept in Summer). College was cheap in those days!

1990 Honda Accord LX... man I loved that car. Was criminally dispossessed of it while it was in a parking lot at college and didn't even know until I had the very strong urge to hit Wendy's a few days after the fact...
Had already been stripped to its bones and parked on blocks. |

Mitsubishi Minica.
I had so much fun with this car. Two cylinders 400cc of goodness (or lack there of). It sure beats walking. Not my pic... |

In 1977 I bought a 1976 Pontiac Catalina two door coupe with a 400ci engine that put out about 150hp.
