Mine was a 1989 mazda b2200 truck, kind of like this one, xcept it was black, lowered, had some cool rims and shaved back bumper and no camper. bought it like that for 500. it was also 5 spd. manual, alot easier to drive than the tC.





then it got stolen and when i got it back, the f**kers messed the electrical system relly bad and sold it agian for 500 to some guy.

how do i get the image to work??

Hello.... Drug Dealers can afford nice first cars with all the cash.

You laugh but there was a 16 year old kid at my school, who bought an $80,000 Mercedes with his own money. I say there was because he has since been arrested.

My first car was my tC that I bought when I was 17. Worked my ___ off for over a year to put a big enough down payment so I could afford the monthly's.

When I was 18, I bought a used '95 Integra LS for $4500 cash.

A year later I bought a '91 300ZX TT for $13000, while keeping my Integra as well.

First Vehicle was an '86 Chevy C10 Pickup.. I miss it, now I realize how much potential it had.
#2 Moms '95 Crown Victoria otherwise known as tha shagn Wagn
#3 '02 GMC Sierra had just started modifying (gawd it was loud, great sound tho) it when i fell in love with....
#4 My '08 tC. Grandpa called it a little red wagon. I then passed him around 90, with him drivin his 07 sierra, he hasn't had much to say since. But this is the first car picked out, and paid for entirely by me.

My first vehicle I purchased was a Cj5. Got it for $3500 and it has a Chevy 350 in it. Ended up getting a 4" lift, lowered the drive train, and moved the rear axle back. Going mudding is so fun!

I still own it and have recently purchased an Isuzu Trooper Ls 4x4 $6000 that I am still paying for. Ended up getting a Calmini 2" Lift installed this past summer!

So i've got my 2 gas guzzlers for offroad fun and my tC for everything else.

Life is good.

My first car was 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. Bought it from my sister for 7,000 in cash back in '04. Crashed it in a rear end accident.

Then bought a '94 Ford Probe SE for $3,000 in cash again from insurance claim. Drove it to the ground...only serviced when seriously needed like new muffler and exhaust when it fell off. Transmission was crap; Overdrive wouldn't go on so I was burning ALOT of gas. Went to Carmax; they bought the Ford P.O.S. for $250 and use that for down payment for my brand new '06 xA.

Then I traded in the xA for $10k for my brand new '07 tC. Talking about buying another car as my "daily" around this time next year. But I have to save up for massive down payment.

So four cars within four years of having drivers license. My current hobby....Car Shopping

I started with a hand-me-down Mazda 323 (totaled, not my fault), moved on to a hand-me-down Datsun 510 (used as parts car now).

now I have my tC.

I apologise in advance as I don't have any good pictures. My first car was an 89 LeBaron convertible(White paint and top, Burgundy vinyl interior, 2.5 N/A, 3 spd auto, and broken A/C) that my parents got me for graduation. The 0-60 on it has to be around 15 seconds, but it got me around. Then with my own money I got a 93 Thunderbird (FUBAR black paint, black leather interior, 3.8 V6, 4spd auto, and nearly every other option), which was probably my favorite car other than my current one. After nearly two years, it lost compression and I traded it for a 2002 Focus (Black, Grey cloth, 2.0 SPI, auto). I drove it for a while but the seating position, cheap feel, and performance, well, sucked. For what my monthly payments were, a new car wasnt much more money. After an extensive search (believe it or not I was in the market for a new Monte Carlo, as it was the closest car on sale to my Thunderbird), I got my 07 NBM tC (which I love).
