First ride

I had a 1994 Ford Ranger. I loved that little truck. The unfortunate problem was it did not have four wheel drive. It would lose traction if someone so much as sneezed on the road. This problem ended up being the fatal flaw as I lost control on an icy bridge and slammed into the side. It was a total loss after that.
1969 Silver Chevy Nova SS with a straight 6 was the only car I loved painted black racing strips down the middle. Had a leaky radiator and was going to get it fixed my father talked me out of fixing. He helped me get a Ford Fairmont hated the car and learn why Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. The Chevy is probably still around and running today, the Fairmont is in a Junk yard somewhere.
Edit: All my photos of the car where lost in a flood but I had plenty
Edit: Also was a column shift, something unique about it.

I love the look of cars from the 60's.
What a shame, that is a great looking car. Like I said above, there is something about cars from the 60s that make them look great!

What? Me worry?
This thing had a push button transmission and the front seats laid all the way down; I was sixteen and just starting to date, you paint your own picture.

My first car was a Dodge Diplomat (an 87, I believe) that met its demise after plowing into a Rotor-Rooter van (at about 60mph) that failed to yield at a stop sign. I was 17 at the time.

Sorry, I can't quite recall, but that sounds familiar, so maybe?

And my first was a 58 VW-- bad heater-- low powered-- but I liked it anyway. Damn near froze to death, though.
1965 Buick Special. I bought it from a homeroom classmate for $200 in 1974. Well, my father bought it from her father. There was water in the gas tank, and the seal around the windshield was almost nonexistent. When it rained I had a flood. Got those things fixed and had a great first car to ride around in as the overly arrogant high school senior I was (I did have the grades to back that up 
).

Chevy Vega. Didn't last long, but I got it for 75 bucks.

I had an '89 Grand Prix that was given to me. Then after I was in a wreck in that one, the first one I got with my own money was a black '02 Mercury Cougar (got it in '04) that was retired earlier this year. I got a good run out of it (still would if my dad hadn't messed with the wheel, leading to the wheel/bearings hub thing that connects it all together to come apart and rip the axle out).

In 1965 I got my first car, a threewheeler Bond minicar which I could drive on my motorcycle licence. We were not allowed to have a reverse gear if we were driving these on a bike licence, but since mine was only fitted with a kick start (you opened the bonnet to kick start the villiers engine) mine was legal. It could turn around in its own length. They normally had a 250cc motor but mine had a 197cc.

I've never owned a car. My first ride was and probably will always remain a bicycle.
