Your first car with your hard cold cash?
Im pretty bored at my work so I wanna start a topic on this one.
I want to see which car that you ever bought with your own money which is not given by your parent or hand-me-down car. I want the car that you got by working your butt off to get it.
I dont care how P.O.S. it is or how lame it is. It just a topic and please dont lie and post a NICE car unless you actually got it. (If you dont have a picture of your car, you can post a car that look ALOT like your car like same color, make, model, and etc)
Here the first car i ever own and boy i do miss that car
Its 1986 944 Porsche which cost me 1000k and it worth every penny. Got a lot of chicks loving this car :p
FYI: this is not actually my car but its just like it but the interior is shredded apart but replaced it with a black leather seat and new carpet.

Nice. Two of my friends have them, but they dont look anywhere near as nice as yours. One has the interior stripped, engine out, and in primer. The other one we just got running. Beautiful cars nontheless.

85 Ford T-Bird. I bought it when i was 16 for 1200 bucks. Then traded it in 3 years later for 1000 bucks for my Toyota Paseo. I was a busboy for 4 bucks an hour lol.
It had a 302 V8 and was nasty fast. Not a good car for a 16 yearold.

My first car was a 1970 Pontiac Tempest with the GT-37 option...........basically a GTO with metal front bumper and 300 lbs lighter.......this is not it but it looked like this.Mine had a Buick 300 motor from a 65 Skylark that had about $10000 into the engine....bolted to a built 400 tranny with a 4000 stall.......and 3.73 posi rear with lockers.
She did 10.42 at Bremerton Speedway and then they kicked me off the track for not being equipped properly for those speeds..........got 3 offers to buy her before I left that day..........
Lost her due to being to poor to get her towed home in time off the road when I busted the rear end........watched her get auctioned off for $1200.........think I cried that day.

Mine was my '07 tC. I made a check out for just over 21k for it 2 weeks after getting back from overseas for twelves months. I'm happy with it, but almost wish I had splurged on a Mazdaspeed 3, they're so sexy.
wow! glad you are alive! that rs2 was in a pretty bad shape

my first car, 2000 Lincoln Town Car Executive L Series. haha i bought her for $2,000, why so cheap? because it had 350,000 miles on it 
That car was 18 1/2 feet long and 4,500 lbs. After driving that, the tC felt like a go cart
Right after I waxed her

my first ride was a 1960 ford falcon paid i think $300-$400 for it and it was nicknamed the beast it was green with a white top. I hated that car with a passion but man did the chics start asking me to take them to lunch downtown and drive them around LOL here is a pic that i found on the net of what it sorta looked like ( i have no pics of the ride)
