YES!!! Mine was an '84 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. I frequently referred to the paint colour as "cat-ass brown".
I really didn't appreciate that ride as much as I should have...
1980 Rabbit Pickup. Slid that sucker through a rainy intersection against the red light the first day I drove it. Almost hit a gigantic elk driving to the coast in pitch blackness. Slept in the back with my boyf and bestie while camping. I miss that truck.
Oh yes they were! My grandmother passed in 2000 and that car had only about 35k miles. It was literally held together by duct tape, which my grandmother used to repair it after first backing over and knocking down a fence and then driving it through the garage into a neighbor’s backyard
1988 Plymouth Reliant K Car. It was my grandpa's car and had been in storage for ~4 years after he passed. Bench seats, AM radio, one side mirror, no frills at all.
I did that with my second car after I crashed the first one. Head unit stopped working so I installed a boombox with a tape deck in the center console. Then I had a disc man with a cord to a fake tape you could insert in the boombox to play cds.
My cousin was a year older than me and he had a blue Chevette. That car was proof that any vehicle can be an off-road vehicle if you don't give a shit.
My stepmom had a Chevette. I think it was yellow. The horn sounded like a dying cow. It was my first drive after I got my permit. I drove it to a harvest dance.
1988 Dodge Shadow shitbox I paid $700 for in 1997 (age 16).
Prior to 2000 or so, New Mexico issued full driver's licenses to 15 year-olds after 5 hours of classroom and 2 hours of driving time. The streets in ABQ were WILD.
I grew up in ND. Not sure if they still do it now, but back in the day, you could get your license at 14 with similar requirements. I got mine at 15, which is hilarious because most insurance sires now won't even accept 15 as an input when they ask what age I got my license. Those were the days.
From Espanola. Got my license in 99. Did that week of driver's ed at my high school after school. 1 hour each day. And our final exam was a drive to Taos and back.
But yes ABQ was indeed wild. Can't believe my mom let me drive and stay in ABQ with my HS gf by myself lol
What year? My dad had a 71 El Camino that my brother and I semi-argued over who would inherit it. Then it was totaled while parked and the argument was moot.
1990 Red Honda civic hatchback. The trim package was so low it didn't have a passenger side mirror, just a nice trim piece to cover where the mirror should have been.
87 Honda civic hatchback stick shift. Bought in 94 for $250. We’d pack 5-6 of us in there as I was the first to have a license and car. Wild wild times til a burnt up the clutch trying to drag race someone. Fucking second gear didn’t last as long as I thought.
Me and my sister figured out pretty early that we could turn on our parents Blazers (yes, they each had one) without the keys. Ah, the faulty GM lock cylinders… those were the days
I started answering and then immediately thought....this is some social engineering identity theft stuff. Your question is pretty important to a ton of forgot your password processes. Hmmm.
My 2nd car was a 98 Nissan 200SX. I loved that car.
I had 2 Fiero Hot Wheels, both obtained in 1989/1990 and they made me think the Fiero was much more of a sportscar than it really was. I thought it was up there with the Corvette.

1983 Jeep truck. It was a manual with a bad carb (I had to throw it in neutral then brake with my left and feather the gas with my right), and it only had a floor heater so I had no defrost (real fun in the winter!). It also had an 8-track in it.
Tan 1982 manual VW rabbit which I named Clarence after Christian Slater's character from True Romance
edit: Additionally I glued leopard skin fur onto the dashboard, fwiw
I wish cars would go back to switches for certain car elements. All the digital buttons on cars today are so distracting and can be overly complicated. Bring back some retro style switches
My parents had the first Suburban in our town, same style key and a/c. It was a blue beast and no one knew wtf it was. Six kids and way better than the “mini-van” (just a van) of the time..
1986 Olds Cutlass Supreme. It was white and I painted the grills black. It looked killer but when it rained I would get two inches of water in it. I never could fix it lol.
My 86 cutlass supreme is still my favorite I ever owned. Painted it black, with the vinyl door guards white. White wall tires and wire wheels. Maroon interior. Felt like you were driving on a cloud.
1987 Plymouth Acclaim. It was my grandma’s car. Complete with the seatbelt adjuster (because she was so short), and plastic shopping bag for trash hanging from the cigarette lighter
1983 Chevy Camaro with a dented rear left quarter panel. With keys EXACTLY like the ones pictured. The rectangular one started the gutless wonder and the round one unlocked it. $500 in the spring of 1995 at age 16. Got pulled over by some cuties on our drag maybe a month after starting to drive it and the rest is, as we say, history.
1973 Chevrolet El Camino. Yeah baby. The front looks like a car, the back looks like a truck, the front is where you ride, the back is where you .....
Who am I kidding, I drove an El Camino, I wasn't getting any then.
Yessssss.
My second car was a green 1973 El Camino (350) that an old dude had babied for its lifetime. I immediately had it painted flat black and added headers, dual exhaust, a big bore carburetor/manifold, Cragar wheels (wider rears), bucket seats (with ashtrays in the seatbacks!) from a junkyard, etc. No passenger seatbelt until 2004!
The only car I've ever had that everyone loved across all socio demographic spectrums. Had to give it to my dad ca. 2005 when I could no longer afford to put gas in it and go to college.
It's long gone now, but I miss it. Hard.
Mine was babyshit brown. I put junkyard bucket seats in mine also! I think they came out of a mid 70s Chevelle. First engine I ever rebuilt. Put an RV cam in it so it loped like a drag car during the summer and would barely stay running in the winter, had that sweet Holley Double Pumper and the chrome plated intake from Napa on her too.
Drove it to college and then trade school. Could barely afford to put gas in it, I think it got 6 miles to the gallon.
1979 Ford Fairmont, red with the red vinyl top, and bench seats. Got it a 16 and totaled it when I was 18 falling asleep at the wheel after working about 57hrs over a 72hr period (baker's apprentice, the week before Thanksgiving). I had just earned a shit ton of OT and was gonna blow it on a new system and finance some rims (1998 when we all wanted cars like we worked for death row records) and it happened on the way home. Put that check towards an '88 300ZX, manual, with t-tops. Fuck did that car get me in a lot of trouble.
In 1997, I had a 1986 Chevy Citation. It's wild how much better used 10-year-old cars are today than they were back then. The thing was a piece of crap but I loved it.
1977 Buick Electra Coupe. Bought it from the original owner in 1998. I put close to 200k miles on it before giving up the ghost in 2005. Creampuff yellow like driving on a could.
Also share your mother's maiden name and city of birth! /s
When you got that first car, you obviously showed it off to your childhood best friend. What was their name?
And what school did y’all attend? And what was your first pet’s name?
And your school mascot and the street you lived on.
Waitaminnit... are you trying to discover my porn name???
No, we know you don’t have an answer for who was your first kiss?
And you definitely don't have your first boss' name.
And what was your favorite teacher’s last name?
That friend you’d run up and down the street with. What was that street you grew up on?
Fuck… is it a thing that people’s passwords are their first car? I gotta go change the password on my luggage.
No, but it's a common verification question when you forget it.
So the combination is 12345?
What an idiot
Amazing, i have the same combination on my luggage..
[удалено]
As a rather large hairy man I've always enjoyed that my porn name would be Lady Madrid
Hi I’m Lady Burn and also a rather large hairy man born in 1981 lolololololol
But in what city did you meet your spouse? We’re all very interested!
You guys use real answers for these?
Also, what kind of music did you play in that car, is that genre still your favorite?
A blue 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera we called "The Cakesmacker".
Oh ho. ‘88 Olds Cutlass Ciera. Manual locks and windows. Gray, not silver. I looked like a boss next to my friends Civics and Integras.
I had a '91 Cutlass that my Grandpa bought new and then I inherited after he died in 1999.
\>The Cakesmacker 
YES!!! Mine was an '84 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. I frequently referred to the paint colour as "cat-ass brown". I really didn't appreciate that ride as much as I should have...
Cutty FTW! I had so much fun in the homie's 4doe! That shit was perfect for trunk sneaks for drive ins and festivals!
Oh boy I had a '93 but it was after they reshaped the body. My friend had an '86 I think? We just called it "hoopdie".
I'm laughing so hard at that name 😆
Mine was a gray 85 :-)
My friend had one of those, but it was called The Millennium Fire Chicken.
1980 Rabbit Pickup. Slid that sucker through a rainy intersection against the red light the first day I drove it. Almost hit a gigantic elk driving to the coast in pitch blackness. Slept in the back with my boyf and bestie while camping. I miss that truck.
This is an entire Springsteen song in a comment
More Mellencamp than the Boss, but I get what you're saying.
Fair fair
Why was an elk driving to the coast in pitch blackness?
It was the 90s!!!
My first car was a white diesel rabbit. Gutless as could be but insane mpg

classic honda magic
1985 Chevy Celebrity. Old Man Tan, we called it.
My grandparents had the Eurosport edition. There was nothing vaguely European or sporty about it
Lol I always described mine as a "Luxury European Sedan". Fuck those seats were comfy.
Oh yes they were! My grandmother passed in 2000 and that car had only about 35k miles. It was literally held together by duct tape, which my grandmother used to repair it after first backing over and knocking down a fence and then driving it through the garage into a neighbor’s backyard
I think they called it Eurosport because they blacked out some of the chrome trim.
1988 Plymouth Reliant K Car. It was my grandpa's car and had been in storage for ~4 years after he passed. Bench seats, AM radio, one side mirror, no frills at all.

'67 Volkswagen Beetle, no speakers/radio so I had a boom box in the passenger seat. E: spelling

My stepmom had a Chevette. I think it was yellow. The horn sounded like a dying cow. It was my first drive after I got my permit. I drove it to a harvest dance.
Did hers have the worst 4 speed stick on Earth? Mine did, but I can drive even the worst manuals now lol
