What was the first car you ever drove?

[Blake]

The first car I ever drove was a 1997 (?) Mitsubishi Magna down a small little dirt road.

The first manual I drove was a Skoda Octavia in a carpark in the Czeck republic.

 

[kikkoman]

First car I drove was a manual 1990 Ford Capri.

Never Driven an auto car in my life.

 

[Event]

A 1993 Chevy Silverado with a 350 V-8. We just washed it and it was on the lawn and my dad said I could try dirving it and I peeled out and left some big marks on the grass...

 

[slk308]

97 corolla.

 

[Solid Lifters]

By myself, it was a mid 70's Ford F-150 style pick-up truck. It was on a farm in South Dakota. I can't really remember how old I was, but I want to say seven, but that seems to young. I might have been 9 or 10.

 

[MistaX]

2004 Pontiac GTO (Automatic)
Never driven a stick in my life.

 

[Solid Fro]

A first-gen Eagle Talon.

 

[SkylineObsession]

This was the first car i ever drove (minus the snow pile on the roof and snowballs on the side of the car!).

1980 Toyota Corona. Rear wheel drive, four speed manual, 80hp (roughly).

 

[Apclps]

It was a dark blue 1996 (or '97) Land Rover Discovery. 2.5tdi with a manual stick shift, I was 15 at the time. That basically is the car that I learned to drive in.

My first real propper driving was done in my mom's Daihatsu Feroza (small jeep, sold it a while ago).

[the attached pic is not the car we had, just an example]

EDIT : it was a company car btw

1987 Ford Escort hatchback.

 

[Lamboracer]

[Bahbo]

I stole my moms daytona when i was 14 or 15. I went into the country with some bleach and had some fun.

 

[Sage]

'93 Ford Ranger, stick shift. My dad gave me a quick lesson when I was about 13, but I damn near destroyed the thing (he hadn't explained to me at all how a clutch works, and I didn't even know the extreme basics such as putting in the clutch and brake when starting the engine, yet he just had me jump in and said drive it). Then, last summer (when I was a little over 15), they gave me "real" lessons on it, and now it's my daily driver. I drive the Subie whenever I can though (it has cruise control and a much better A/C pump).

The only autos I've driven were the ones during Driver's Trainings, and I'd like to avoid driving one ever again. The loss of direct control over the car doesn't make up for the "ease" factor to me.

 

[Duke]

1972 Pontiac Grandville convertible. I was 7, and I drove it the day my father brought it home from the dealer.

 

[Joey]

Under my own power, a 1986 Subaru GL-10 turbo. I'm not sure if it was a wagon or coupe, but my father thinks it was a wagon - had it for six months when I was about eight. I'd played with our 1985 Civic and 1991 Accord before that, though. All were manuals.

 

[Gil]

A 1970 Ford Country Squire Wagon.
At the age of 14, my old man had me backing it out of the driveway.
Then one day he let me drive down the street, and eventually around the corner.

 

[the_cobbinator]

A 2001 Mazda Protege.

 

[pimp racer]

First car a Maruti not sure wich model though then a few weeks ago a 04 toyota corolla S and today a 02 honda oddesy ex V6.
Man we do a lot a ilegial (SP?) stuff! considering i am only 14 and when i first drove was like when i was 11! with parents though.

 

[Blake]

Actually now I think about it the first car I (half) drove was when I was 5, I'd steer my dads Pajero down the 2km driveway

 

[Bollocks#999]

A Nissan Pulsar 5door was the first car I drove, 14 at the time

 

[ND4SPD]

Hmm i haven't driven a car yet so I guess I'c have to pick the closes thing to a car, it'd be a 20hp go kart.

 

[the_undrtaker89]

a '93 toyota corolla LE....its been destroyed in an accident now

 

[Ev0]

'95 Ford F-150, drove it around the back of my dad's shop, big open paved area. I still like that truck, best off the line acceleration I've ever driven (aside from my '96 Sebring possibly). Tons of torque available.

Sadly, I've never driven a stick shift . Well, unless the tiptronic on my mom's Santa Fe counts... Seriously though, it's not a good tiptronic, and I've got nothing to compare it to! It misses shifts if you shift too quickly, shifts are sluggish at mid rpms, it's a 4 speed, and it automatically downshifts, which is not good since it builds bad habits for someone who will later drive a regular manual.

 

[McLaren]

My first car...My old Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4.
Now I drive a Redline.

 

[Jugend]

First car I drove was a manual 1990 Ford Capri.

Never Driven an auto car in my life.

What model is that? I always thought capri was a late 70's-early 80's car.

My first was a Ford too, a white Scorpio 1986 2.0 man.

 

[DoZeRxXx]

mine would have to be a '98 mustang. i don't know what my sister was thinking then, but i didn't break it. then i got to drive it again a couple months later on the snow. god that was so much fun.

btw, my grand am i got ??last week?? (my first car) was traded in by a 79 year old lady. and i was wondering, how am i supposed to get an old lady smell out of a car, anybody know? the car had 49749 miles on it when i got it, and they wanted 5900 for it, not a bad deal. (the old lady smell is a combo of terrible smelling perfume and dead/stail(sp?) air, it isn't pleasant)

 

[-Fred-]

A 1989 Porsche 944S2 Cabriolet, like this one:

But my father's was red.

 

[king jame II]

The first car i ever drove was actually a truck. A 3/4 ton '84 Ford ext. cab. Man, was it a POS. Great times in it though. It had a crap worn out 302 that got about 8 miles to the gallon. I remember having to stop for gas so many times. When i think about it, all ive ever driven are POS's. Ah well.

I also wanted to say hello to everyone here at the forums. I'm new and trying to get adjusted to such a large forum. Ya'll take it easy.
