Default What was your first car?

What was your first car that you ever got? Did you get it handed to you or did you pay for it yourself. Post pictures of your cars.

My first car was an 89 Ford Escort. I bought it for $600. drove it for a year. then it died. After that, I got a 88 Mazda 323 that car drowned couple months after. then I got a 91 CRX Si ZC. Drove that for one month before it got hit by a drunk driver. After that I got my 89 Civic std hatch (ZC--still have it). and couple months ago bought another 88 CRX. ALSO, I'M LOOKING FOR A CLEAN BLACK 89 CRX SI IN WA AREA!!

My first car was/is a 91 crx dx. It is about to have an engine swap done to it, hopefully by January. I still have not decided what to swap in, I have the cash to get a zc complete swap and get a turbo kit for it, but then wouldn't have money to buy a new hatch, Damn life is so full of decisions. If I don't go turbo then I am going to buy a 5th gen. hatch.

My first car is the one that I still have right now... a 1996 Acura Integra. I plan to keep it forever and just keep swaping the engine. I will be a Honda/Acura Master Tech after finishing school.

Default What was your first car?

Given a 1975 VW Super Beetle with fuel injection (parents paid $900). That car had missing smog parts, leaked in the rain, died on me when driving on the freeway. Got it to pass smog, did some small interior work, and sold it to some women that just had to have it, for $2500.

Given a 1973 VW Super Beetle, non fuel injected (dad paid $300, from one of his co-workers). The car started out with a salvaged title, had the usual rust spots that Beetles are known for, and the interior was shot. Stripped the whole car down to the shell, had it repainted, and then put all new parts on. The car was immaculate, and ran great. Sold it for $3700 to a guy that lives in the area. It was time for a car that had more of everything. So...

I recently bought a 2001 Integra GSR. Great car (especially considering the cars I have driven). No problems. Always happy to drive it. I have left the car pretty much completely stock except for Phillips H.I.D. lights, front and rear ITR strut bars, and OEM underbody spoiler kit.

Currently looking for a 1960-67 convertible or ragtop VW Bug (non-super beetle). Plan to make it a weekend driver. 200 hp engine, 5 speed tranny, stinger exhaust, lowered, and some other things...
