Alright fellow IA members...

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

What was your very first car, did your parents buy it for you, how old were you when you got your car and your license and how long have you had your license to this day? Also, did you wreck your first car, if so, was it your fault or someone elses?

I was 16 when I got my license (the day after my bday), I've had my license for 5 years.. My first car was a 1996 cavalier 2.2 liter.. Basic model! I bought it for myself. I've never wrecked anything I've ever driven except that damn dirtbike! LOL.. :goodjob:

[Cliff]

14 when i got it, clearly parents bought it, still have it in the driveway with 140k miles on it and it's now our work truck/family truck...oh and i got my license the day i was able to...2000 dodge dakota v8 4 door

But my first car was a 1974 Ford F100 Ranger that was mint ..... but I totalled it my senior year..... apparently burn outs wear your ties out.....and even more so can cause you to hydroplane in extremely wet weather lol

[The Ren]

Well my first car was a 1993 mitsubishi eclipse Gs-t. I saved for three summer for that car...I was 16 when I got my learners....and my first wreck was the mirage last year.. nthat I am still recovering from...

[Darling Nikki]

I got my license when I was 16. I have been working since I was 13 like I said in another thead so I saved up money for those 3 yrs to buy my own car which was a 94 LS Integra. I totalled it bc it caught on fire and they had to rip it apart to get me out. So it wasn't my fault just an electrical issue.

[boosted1jz]

My parents made my down payment, and a couple of payments on Sporty Accordy. Then when I lost my job last summer, my parents made my payments for me while I was looking for a job. But tha 3.2CL Type-Sexy is all mine. Totally in my name. Not even a co-signer

[Chuckster]

88 honda civic was my first car and it was my moms car and she gave it to me. I riced it out with an R badge and cherry bomb exhaust, midnight blue paint job w/red pin strips from macco for $300. Just beat the shit out of it, Hitting shopping carts sitting on the roof, Running over cones, Playing in the mud, neutral bombs, reverse donuts, jumping hills, ect ect. You name i prolly done it in that car. I just didnt give a damn about the car. Yea my mom was pisted but i told her when she gave me the keys that it aint gonna last long w/me behind the wheel. 6 months later only gear that worked was reverse and i got $500 fo rthe car and used it for a down payment on my 92 teggie. from there on the fun days were over. Damn i miss that car

[Chuckster]

oh yea adn she bought that car 1g w/ 80k on it in 98

hahahaha you started with an awd wagon and you still have one

I've had six cars and only one's been 2WD (it was a 2nd car) and I think I only put like 300 miles on it before I realized it sucked and bought my 4th Subaru (the wagon). Don't worry I live up to my screen name. :tongue:

[D16Civic]

I got my civic when i was 15 i think it was, my parents paid for most of it, i helped out w/ all the money i had which really wasnt that much, maybe like 1500. Then i got my license a couple of weeks after my 16th bday. Drove all the way down to St. Simons (well, actually i got it in brunswick) like 4.5 hrs away cuz i didnt make an appointment early and was goin to have to wait over a month and i just couldnt wait that long.

[Pher]

My first car was a 1976 Buick Skylark. 4 door and gold with a 231 v6
I paid $700 for the car with it in perfect condition with only 37k on it.

My first wreck was with my 97 GrandAm, my fault.
