I bought my first car in 1993--a '79 Chevy Malibu Classic with a 267 straight six and glass packs. We called it "the jism thruster." The thing was super loud and drank gas like nobody's business, but gas was only around $1 / gallon way back then. My, how times have changed!

You could cruise around town all day with the radio blasting.

An ancient Rambler Ambassador that often wouldn't start, BUT it had the neatest Pullman seats--the front seats would go all the way down to meet the back seats @ a perfect level which was really great for piling in the likes of 8 or 9 friends.

1980 Mercedes 230E - sort of mustard yellow (one door panel that had been replaced was brighter than the rest.) Got it in Turkey for $1,000. Sad day when I had to hand it in to customs when I left.

1992 Mazda MPV. My parents actually bought my sister an ancient Honda as a graduation present but she didn't drive and I couldn't drive stick, so I got the minivan and my mom got the Honda. Future parents: do NOT give your kid a vehicle that has a back sit that folds down.

The weekend I sold it:

Unfortunately a deer jumped across my van the day before I was taking my car to sell:

Good timing, eh?

Funny topic, and I haven't read all replies.
My first car was a '76 Ford Mustang II. Blue with a white top.
Secondc car was an Olds Cutlass Calais. Veritable drag racer. Dam dangerous.

A brown 1973 Chevy Impala for $300 back in 1991. It was a good running powerful old car that sat in a lady's backyard for many years with a tarp over it, but the bottom rusted out. A month after buying it, a leafspring broke due to rust causing a U-joint to disconnect and the drive shaft dropped out which led to am immediate halt with a slide to a ditch. Luckily I was on a gravel road not going about 30 MPH. Any faster, the car would had flipped end over end. Whoever fixed that car I gave away, got a good bargain as it was in mint condition except the bottom side being rusted out.

I do remember gas being a rock bottom 78 cents a gallon in 1999. I can't remember what it was in 1991, but it must had been cheap enough for a broke young man to be able to afford driving big cars to work for like 4 dollars an hour.
