my first one was the SLE with only 45K back in 2003

1994 Pontiac Bonneville SLE (I got it in ehh...2001ish), for free .

1997 Mitsubishi Mirage DE, 1.5L 93hp 4 banger powa!

mom bought it in 99 with 30k on it, i got it in 04 with 150k and beat to all hell.

My first is the very car seen below, paid $1450 for it

Well if we're talkin VERY first cars I guess I would have to say my old 1988 Chrysler 5th ave with the 318. ran it with Straight pipes too Steel blue with a big ol whip antenna Bandit style on the trunk. Spent more time bombing that thing in and out of gravel pits than I did driving that thing on the road.

Wish I had pics

Most people will call those cars gutless, and rightly so, but the thing'* engine and tranny just wouldn't die.

my first car was a 1972 Pontiac Ventura

1958 English Ford Zephyr given to me by my grandfather. And btw, it was NOT an antique at the time - 1965.

1985 Buick Somerset Custom. Two tone blue, 3 speed auto, 2.5L iron duke.

Engine blew up the very first time I drove it. Money was tight and I didn't get it back for 6 months. Lasted 1.5 years and did it again. Fixed it, bought the Bonneville the next day. And the head gasket blew several months later. It now resides behind a shed on my parents' farm.

I didn't realize you were that old. LOL
