Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What was your first car? Favorite car?

First car, sort of, was a 78 Chevy Malibu, with the CA emissions V-6. That car sucked. It was blue and rust.

First car I purchased was the 89 Civic that Peter sold me. It had a horrible revving problem that I got resolved (and I got a new clutch at the same time) 2 days before I crashed it.

Favorite car I've owned... well, that's a strange one. I really liked the peppiness of the 2 older Civics (89 and 91), but neither had A/C, and that kind of sucked. I like the (relative) cushyness of the 2001 Civic, but since it's a lot heavier and has power steering, it's not as much fun to drive. And I like the power of the Volvo 850 Turbo wagon. So I like all of them. Except the Malibu.

Favorite car I've driven has to be the Dodge Viper GTS.

My first car was a gold/rust/bondo colored 1967 two door Impala with seats with the springs sticking out. I sold it about 6 months later for $371 and bought a 1977 Triumph TR-7. My favorite car to drive was a 1981 Nissan 280 ZX. The best car that I owned is a 2000 Honda Civic EX that I am still driving with 165,000 + miles on it.

Favorite car I've driven was a '78 Datsun 240Z a girlfriend of mine used to own back when I was in HS. That thing was fast!

My dad has a 79' MG midget (shorn below at their house) and is a member of a British car club; there are some really nice cars in the group. I went to a "Brit's in the park" car show in Lindsay in the summertime and there where easily over 1000 cars.

My first car was a 1968 Opel Cadet.

My first car was my 16th B-day present from my parents, a 1973 or was it a 1975(most likely), can't remember now, Ford Custom 500 2 dr. also known as an LTD. It had a 400M engine drank gas faster than I can drink water and floated down the road with out a care in the world. I ended up selling the car and giving the money back to my parents shortly after getting it as they needed the money more than I needed the car.

My favorite car I have owned is a toss up between, my 1970 Mustang coupe w/351C, with a mild cam that I couldn't keep the tires on and my 1990 Toyota Corolla GTS. I could get 42 mpg on the highway with the GTS and it was a bit of a pocket rocket with 0-60mph in just over 8 seconds. It handled wonderfully and I had it up to 220kmh+(136mph) numerous times. The little 1.6L 130hp engine had an 8000RPM redline and I know it went higher, no rev limiter, at least not one that I ever ran into.

I have briefly driven a Viper GTS, for sheer raw power it is hard to beat.

HAHA. My first car was the 78 4 door Malibu Classic that swallowed gas and whose tranny slipped when I breathed. I HATED that car and was glad when it died. Around the same time, I used my dad's 73 Impala. That thing was a TANK.

My favorite car was my 1990 Eagle Talon TSi, which was based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse. The turbo and AWD was great, until you had to replace the turbo. I also liked my 2001 BMW 528i wagon, but it was WAY too $$ to fix. Can't forget my 1962 VW bug either. It was redone 'Cal style', lowered, one piece windows and rebuilt 1600. No heater and rough ride but I though it was cool. Still do.

My first car was a Plymouth Horizon (don't know the year), but I bought it off the neighbor for $100 and it lasted me three years. My next vehicle was a wheelchair accessible short bus, and now my wheelchair accessible van.

My favorite car was probably the Horizon, I got myself in an awful lot of trouble in that thing.

First car was a BMW 1600ti. Never got to drive it after purchase though; the previous owner (a friend) was delivering it and got T-boned in an intersection a mile or so from my house. The car was a writeoff, so I got my money back.

He pulled the sound system from the car and sold it separately for more than I was going to pay him for the whole car.
