The first car I ever owned was a green 1970 Chevy Nova. I was 18 and I bought it for $3,000 and owned it for about 15 years. The car I traded it for was carp

My "first" car was a beetle.

First car I owned was a 73 Capri 2600. Which I sold when I moved to Germany in 85 and bought an E 21.

The first car I ever owned myself was a 1995 BMW 530i. My first car, bought by dear old dad for me in 1999, was a 1978 Pontiac Grand Le Mans.

1985 VW Golf 3-door 5-speed. Silver & black fabric. No options. Vin put it about #400 in production, which made odd parts unbelievably expensive (driveshafts were $400, WTF?).

Built just down the road in New Stanton, PA. I don't see a lot of those any more and can't say I'm unhappy about it.

85' 318 i It was white with tan interior. Had the bottle cap rims. I used my bonus money from joining the Army to put rims on her. 4 lug custom rims were few and far between in 94 and all of them were ugly. Too much to list....
I got rear ended by a Semi on the freeway, about died. She was totaled. I have had my 318is ever since.

1972 Monte Carlo. My dad and I were lookin at a classic muscle car for me first. I found a 74 Cutlass Supreme for cheap, but he liked the Monte better. Thing stunk but I loved it! 350ci V8, pillarless, no working A/C and the headliner was tore up, so you couldn't roll down the windows, no working dash lights, custom home-made stereo system....and the piece de resistance: Bench Seats.

My first car was a 1958 BMW Isetta 300 convertible. I sure wish I had it now. Here is a picture of one like mine, except mine did not have the luggage rack.
