Still own my first car:

 

2005 BMW 120d (stock: 163hp, now 210hp) bought it at 67 000km in 2010, now it has about 117 000 4 years later

 

I had one of those (or very similar at least) during my driving classes a few years back. Really fun to drive!

Cool car, fell in love with hatchbacks 

Thanks, Can't get it over my heart to sell it though I have a company car now. Needs a new clutch because of the ECU chiptuning

My own very first owed car was a 1972 VW Beetle 1302s in bottle green, man I loved my old bug! 1600cc with dual choke webber carbs, drank petrol like water but was quick and noisy :D

Sadly went to the scrapheap in the sky, regretted it ever since, the 1302s models are quite rare.

1990 Pontiac Sunbird - I made bad grades in school - it was punishment



My sister's first car - she made good grades and was daddy's little girl:

She had a brand new Navigator, had a phone in it (back when most people only dreamed of having a car phone)
fully loaded, and an AMEX gold card that my parents never looked @ the bill - just paid it

No... I wasnt jealous at all ?  why do you ask ?  pfft

1977 Mercury Bobcat | Classic & Collector Cars

 

1977 Mercury Bobcat Wagon

Bought it for $75 and had to do a brake conversion from 4 wheel drums to 4 wheel disk due to no one making parts for it any more. 2.3L with 4 speed manual. Sad to say, I miss having a manual transmission.
