I still have my first car, mostly because it's only 4 years old It's a 2002 Honda Civic EX, in blue. His name is Marvin for short, Marvin the Monkeymobile for his full name
I have such fond memories of my first cars--I had a 1997 purple Neon and 10 months later we traded it in for a 1998 silver Neon. I loved that car (the silver one) but I crashed and totaled it
1996 Toyota Corolla exactly like the one below. I loved that car, never broke down on me! I never did any maintance to it, except change the oil & tires when my dad yelled at me!
I also had a teal ford escort hotcocoa! Mine was a 93. I thought it was so cool too! Then I bought my mom's car off of her: a Raspberry colored 95 Pontiac Sunfire and two months later a girl in my class rearended me and totalled it:(
this is really sad but i didn't have my first car until i was 22 years old. i bought my own first car. a 2004 suzuki forenza. i bought it brand new and it is a piece of shit. psrdon my language, but just a word, i wouldn't get one ever again.
a black jeep cherokee limited. i loved that car, and them my brother came home for 48 hours and crashed it on christmas morning. i was sooo mad at him!

Mine was a 1982 Ford Taunus, a gorgeous red car that I loved deeply. It was really large, so it wasn't all that easy to maneuver but I felt so safe in it.
Here's a pic, although mine was obviously in better condition...
1994 or 1995 Honda Accord. I bought it with my own money from my uncle. Unfortunately, he doesn't really take care of his stuff so about 1.5 years after I bought it, I discovered it needed about $3000 worth of work . I don't have that kind of money so we sold it and my mom gave me her car and bought a new one. RIP Hector the Honda, you are missed!
ETA: It was this color too! Hector was a pretty boy.

I had the same thing but mine was a '95 in maroon. I did some of the maintenance on it myself and never had any problems with it either (even after 235,000 miles). I sold it late last year for $1500 and the man who bought it loves it!
Mine was a hand-me-down 87 chevy nova, like this but red and rusty:
Anyway, I had it for 7 years and experienced nearly every kind problem you can possibly have w/ a car, from not being able to roll down the windows to breaking down on a rural, empty stretch of highway all alone with no cell phone.
