I was looking through some photos while I was at home and came across this. It’s a 16 year old me with my first car. I didn’t know this photo existed, but I am happy it does. Came across while I was looking for this:
It’s me washing the Explorer the day I got it back in June of 2006.

Yup, granddad bought it new in 1997. Had basically every option minus leather and a CD player.

That is clean. Long gone, I’m guessing?
16 year old me, Halloween. Had a Datsun truck that someone stole, crashed and dropped their wallet while fleeing the scene. First vehicle and I only got to drive it once... Was replaced with a Mercury Sable. Bleh

That lead picture is only second to Silvestro’s Fiesta ST embedded in a snow bank.

This was also in 2006, but shortly before I sold my beloved 4Runner for my first car with AC a 2001 Audi S4.
Good color choice!
Edit: Hell, I still have that shirt...but those sunglasses I broke in a Marine bathroom in a hurry. Sigh.

I see you and raise you one mullet from 1990 and photogray glasses. Of course, back then, I had no idea it was a mullet.

They’re aging quite well. Better than the next gen IMO - future classic!

The 2dr Explorer with it’s short wheelbase, reminds me of those “squished car” avatars people used to have.

My grandfather bought it new and gave it to me when I got my license. I didn’t get to chose the car let alone the color. I hated the color at the time but it grew on me. If I had been allowed to buy my first car, it would have had a roundel on it. I never complained about it, I was happy to have a free car.

Wait, that’s not an E90? So confused.
I wish I had pics of my first cars —nice!

Funny. My Step-Grandfather bought the 4Runner new and later sold it to my dad who I bought it from. I went on countless roadtrips in it and it was the car I learned to drive stick on at 16. I sold it when I was 26. I about cried.

The E90 M3 wasn’t even a thing back then and I was barely seeing E90s run around Roswell.
I don’t have many pictures of my car, unlike the M3.

I had a bunch of other shit going on at the time, so me losing my first car wasn’t the biggest emotional thing I had going on. I was sad but it was time to move on.
