Oppo is being weird for me and won’t let me post a picture. For me it was a 1993 Firebird V6 auto.

As in, from the hospital when I was born? I was driven home in a ‘74 Toyota Celica.

First car I brought to my home was the ‘81 Honda Accord I drove in high school.

First one I literally drove home since I was learning to drive : 2002 Dodge Caravan

First one I owned: 2009 Hyundai Accent (I will be forever grateful that my dad gifted this to me)

First one I bought: 2016 Kia Forte5 SX (I love it despite its faults)

I happen to be at my mom’s house right now, and found this a couple of years ago.

It’s the screwdriver from that Celica’s tool kit.

I was driven home from the hospital  in a black 1981 Subaru GLF hardtop with a decklid luggage rack just like this. Except this is a 1982 with the clear parking lights and quad headlights. Our car had two rectangulars and amber parking lights.

Brown Datsun 510, replaced shortly thereafter by a Silver 710 wagon.

First car was a Maxima, and am c urrently sitting in an Infiniti FX45 .

Datsun has been good to us.

Damn you’re young, or maybe I'm just old...

For me it was a 78 Dodge 1 ton flatbed

I don’t know... Fiat Uno or Opel Astra if it was one of my parents cars. But I’m not sure that’s the case. Some investigation is needed!

School bus. Not kidding. Was almost born in one, stuck in a snow drift. May have been conceived in one too (kidding. It was a station wagon. On a levy in the backwoods of SW Ontario. I’ve been there. Thanks for that info dad... ) .

Also first vehicle I “drove” at 3. Next one was a motorcycle at 4.

When I was born I was driven home in a Datsun 280z. When my daughter was born we drove her home in a Subaru forester

I’m not 100% certain, but I think it was a Rabbit, much like this one (though I believe it had the blue CA plates):

My parent’s other car when I was young was a brown Toyota wagon (manual but not diesel) , but I think they picked that up used after they left CA.

The same one I’m still driving today: a 2091 Civic. Bought it just after Christmas in 2007. At the time I never thought I would own such a new car. It’s now 18 years old, has about 285,000 km on it, and has recently developed an oil leak.

Edit: just saw what you meant. I think I was brought home in some 1970s blue 2-door Chevy. Maybe a Nova?

1963 Chevy Nova II, with original black and yellow CA plates.

This was also technically the first car I drove, as I shifted it into neutral at like 3 years old and it rolled across the street and up the driveway of the house across the street.

I actually have no idea. When I was born, my parents were in the Peace Corps, so “home” was in rural Burkina Faso , Africa. So there’s a pretty good chance it was a Toyota Hilux or  Land Cruiser. Maybe a Land Rover. I’ll ask my folks the next time I talk to them.

Well when I was born the only vehicle my parents owned was a motorcycle, I was most likely brought home in my dad's work truck, a regular cab F150, probably the grey one.

None. Family doctor still made house calls and home births . I was oozed out in the living room. But at the time my parents had a bi g block Coronet sedan. So it was the first car I rode in.

Would’ve been an 85 Chevy Astro, AFAIK.

Naturally the next question I have to ask is this, are your parents school bus drivers?

Clearly a fan I see. The 510 is a cool little ride

Sounds like the 280z might have been a little cooler “first car”

Are we playing guess the car? If so I haven’t a clue what that is.

My dad was a car guy, although not a very good one. We had two ‘65 M ustangs, the convertible he bought because he was “helping” a friend and nearly burnt it to the ground.

My mum was cool . She upgraded to a (manual!)  C-class when I was little but we still kept the E30 for years. I’ve never driven one and I would really like to one day.

My dad ran his family's bus company. My mother drove for a bit too. Another fun fact: my dad was my mom's bus driver.  Asked her out on the last day of school.

Sounds like buses are a big part of your family haha

Just a bit haha. Shes yet to have a ride in the m3 but it’s plenty safe and has the child seat anchors. Shell have to wait a few years / decade to ride in the 02 maybe longer

It was the early 80's. Not unheard of, but not as common as it used to be . Wish he was still around, he was a phenomenal person and an awesome staff.
