First Car, 1983 Buick Regal. Mine was mint green and had a hardtop, not like this one.
Ouch. My dad had an 81 I think.
My first was a 1985 Plymouth Horizon. The hatchback was handy, but the rest of the car was a nightmare. CR called the heater "archaic" and when the thermostat died during a January trip from Pittsburgh to Danbury, I froze my buns as it leaked air like a $!?&@@&? sieve. In the 18 months I had the thing it also badly went out of alignment on a regular basis, cracked the gasket, and blew a hole in the exhaust two inches short of where it came out of the engine.
My favorite would either be the 1989 Accord that replaced it (cool air to driver's face even during heating) or the 1991 Prelude (geared insanely but a blast to drive) that replaced it after being totaled. Drive a 2002 Civic 5sp now. Not exciting, but much better mileage.
