Based on some recent shouts in the box, I thought this would be a cool topic. As far as I know, there's not been one done on this theme, but if there has been, hopefully one of the Axiom old-timers will provide us a link.

I'll start - my first vehicle was a used 1979 Toyota pick-up. It was 1984, I was 16, it was yellow. Geekiness ensued.

My favorite car was my 1997 BMW Z3, bought new. It was violet red (car dealerese for plum purple), a color that actually worked very well for it. Some of my favorite memories with the Z3 were of a trip with a friend, who had a light blue Z3, to the homecoming at the BMW plant in upstate South Carolina. Our two-car caravan got quite a few smiles and thumbs-up.
