What was your first car? What was your favorite car (that you owned/leased)?

First Car I drove:  Pontiac Acadian (course it was my parents)

First Car I owned:  VW Jetta.

Fav:  BMW 318i that a company I was working for rented for me when I was working overseas.

First:  1968 camaro

Favorite:  1968 camaro

First car: 1978 Plymouth Horizon - 4 dour, hatch back.  Black exterior, red interior.  FUGLY

Favorite car: Tough call.   Probably my second car.  1978 Ford F-150.  351 modified Cleveland under the hood, dual straight exhaust, glass paks and no catalitic converter.  Loud and proud baby. 

Since I'm 27, was in school from age 5 to age 25, my cars have not been spectacular.

My first car: a tealy-green 1991 Dodge Spirit. An old company car that my dad bought for cheap and then had painted. Why teal-green, I will never know, except that it was the 90's. Teal was big. Drove it in high school until I went to college, where we couldn't have a car (no student parking lot at my 2-building college, and really no need for a car in Boston).

My grad school car: a red 1990 Dodge Spirit. (see a trend here? Yeah - dad is from Michigan - we only drive Chryslers/Fords) Owned by my late g-ma, who literally only took it to the store and church. Had 60,000 miles on it when I acquired it in 2004.

Current car - black 2006 Chrysler Sebring. Was given to me as a graduation gift in May of '06. To be fair, my dad's dad and my uncle both work/worked for Ford, so for anything in the Ford/Daimler Chrysler family, we get a discount. That includes Mercedes and Volvo, but my dad limited my car choices by the dollar amount. I REALLY wanted a red mustang coupe, but the insurance on those things is killer...and I am paying the insurance.

If I had to buy my own car (which I had every intention of doing until my dad said "I'm buying you a car"- I'm really not a spoiled brat, but in my book, you don't say no to your father, regardless - I've never asked him for anything), I wouldn't have gone Chrysler or Ford, necessarily. But it does include Volvo, and I do like them. And I will still be able to use the family discount...

First: '72 VW Super Beetle.

Fav: (tie) that one, and my '90 Saab 900 convertable.

My first car was a 1970 something Malibu. One of those huge things. Didn't have floorboards in the back so my guy friends could pee through the floor without me having to stop the car.

Favorite car was my Volvo 850, my first new car back in 1995. 

First Car 1977 Ford Maverick

Fav. 1997 Jeep Wrangler.

First:  1990 Honda Accord - loved it and had it for 10 years

Favorite:  1998 Saab 900 convertible.  Its starting to fall apart a little now, but it's still the most fun to drive. 

First: 1969 Chevy Nova

Favorite: 1984 Honda CRX Si. Pocket rocket, 'twas the perfect car for that point in my life. Likewise with my current 2007 Toyota RAV4. But them I'm a simple, functional kind of guy as far as cars are concerned.

First 1974.5 MG Midget.....like this except mine was flourescent dog-puke yellow. Notice the big rubber bumper pads.  My dad made me install a roll bar (which was a really nice mod). Actually it probably was my favorite car too.

First: 1984 Civic sedan.  Three speed automatic, and so cheap, that it only had a rear view mirror on the drivers side.

Fave: 1992 Toyota MR2.  Signal yellow, hard top, soooo much fun to drive.  Never should have gotten rid of it. 

First car - 82 Subaru GL, Was my mom's new, then my brother's and sister's first car as well.

Fav Car - 2001 Audi A4 - I still have it, only 75K but starting to have issues.

WORST CAR - 1998 (9)? Cougar. It was the new model. I don't know what I was thinking, was cool in the showroom, but after 6 weeks, I realized my mistake. Oh, well at least it was a lease.

My dad had a '67 Mustang that my grandparents gave him, and when I got my license that was gonna be my car. But, when I was 14, he sold it. Bastard.
