First car I was given was my parent's '96 Rav4, which I still have.

Both are in the shot.

Mini Cooper, yellow with a black roof. I called it the Bumblebee

Bought it for 40 quid whilst living in London. It had a number of 'optional extras' including:

a bucket seat so I can fit

a sketchy starter motor (just park the back wheels on the gutter and clutch start it)

a busted wiper motor (teatowel on the dashboard, just reach around and wipe the windshield

Zero paperwork or identification, so I could leg it if I crashed (no licence, registration or insurance)

Brilliant car. Miss it.

1993 Pontiac Sunfire. I beat the SHIT out of that car. I really learned to drive in the car though. I learned car control. I owe a lot to that car. My buddy and I used to go "back roading" in the car. I would fly down gravel roads while he shouted out instructions like a WRC co-driver, but just not as technical. It was great. I got a lot of tickets in the car as well. That car gave me its all up until the day I traded it in. Like, literally. It was smoking and sputtering on the way to trade it in. But when they test drove it to give me an offer on trade in, it ran great for them. It gave me its all.

'89 Oldsmobile Toronado Troffeo. Dad bought it new, it served as the family car until I paid him $3059 in November of '97, about five months after I turned 16. I had it for almost three years. It was simultaneously a nice car, and a real piece of crap. Pics aren't digital.

Ford Festiva. Great car, but outside of the motor's reliability and gas mileage, it was a terrible first car for a teenager.

That said, if I have a kid, he's getting a Miata.

KIDS DESERVE MIATAS.

1992 Ford Tempo GL.

Look at this beast. 92 HP, and a 3 speed slushbox!

I drove it across 2/3rds of Canada. From Vancouver to Ottawa, which is something like 4000 miles.

Here it is in downtown Swift Current Saskatchewan!! (first car on left)

Eventually it died when a truck turned left directly in front of it.

I am beginning to think its pretty well known, so I try to post a different pic it every time. I have very few pics of it, actually.

Those things were awesome. Did it have the touch screen green and black CRT for the radio and HVAC?

No, my neighbor's Riviera had that. My car did have approximately 8000 buttons on the dash though!

1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88. It was huge! I don't think I have any pictures of it, but it was grey. The A/C worked great for a 17 year old car, which was really important because I lived in Texas at the time.
