My only child is nearly 16, so we have been talking about buying a used car for her junior year.

I was lucky because a friend gave me a 91 Pontiac Grand Am in 95. I, however, wrapped it around a tree 2 days later. It was totaled! I did not make many memories in my "first" car other than the wreck and the first time I paid for gas ($15 in nickels, dimes, and pennies).

What was your first car? How long did you have it? Stories/memories?

97 Mercury Sable. SOB still runs today and my mom drives it from time to time.

I hit a bunch of shite with it, mailboxes, signs, and bikes but it never stopped running.

1993 Chevy Silverado.

Had it for 6 years and sold it for only $1000 less than my parents paid for it.

1969 Firebird, 250 OHC inline 6 cylinder , which was blown up and in pieces. My father and I rebuilt it and I drive it for 2 1/2 years until it again gave up. Traded it for a 1975 Toyota Celica GT.

1974 VW Bug with a Baja kit on it.

Didn't last long after I loaned it to my brother to drive to B'ham from Alexander City.
I think he drove it wide open the whole way, because shortly after that trip it started knocking, and broke a rod.

My best memories are the freedom of driving, and listening to Aerosmith PUMP, and Sir Mix-a-Lot SWASS.

2005 Chevy silverado. It's still running like a beast doing work and hauling shite whenever my dad needs it.

My next vehicle is going to be a Chevy Tahoe in the range of 2009-2014.
