    I've never had a car, and I don't particularly want one. You see, I don't have a licence (I chose not to get one, thankyouverymuch!), and I won't get one for years to come.

    I do perfectly fine without a car *shrug*

    Congrats for your very first car!!




    1st: Was a red 3 series BMW 2002 model: Was mad excited but soon realized I wasn't feeling that she belonged to me ( I ended uo letting my dad take over)

    2nd Car: 2003 Accord LX: Loved that car to bits but had to sell it when I moved myself to Pakistan in 2006

    Current: White 2006 Corrolla... She's pretty capable and sturdy... And had a few bumps and bruises however.......Back in summer 2009 my chauffeur got her into an accident... Below are the results...

    EDIT: PICS UPLOADED

    She's been fixed up as good as new but the radio and speakers don't work any more!! *I use my ipod any way*

    My first car was a 1974 Opel Manta, and it was in miserable shape. The only thing in the dashboard that worked was the odometer, so I just put gas in every 100 miles and went about the speed of everyone else. At some time during probably the last 70's my dad had bought a tape player for the car, but there was no place to put it so he got some wood and nailed it under the dash. It made a loud whistling sound when I went over 50MPH.

    One day it overheated and the radiator died, so it had to be sent to the graveyard. I loved that beautiful, cruddy car.

    I wish I had pics of it, but here's a pic of the same one, same color, except mine had one of those slatted black shades on the back windshield.

    a smidge big

    I have a cute little Ford KA. His name is Kenny. I've had him for 3 years and he's never failed me.

    I thought about getting a brand new car recently, but changed my mind because I don't see the point - I like my car, if it gets any problems it's cheap to repair because it's a Ford and his mileage isn't too high yet. The only reason I was going to get a new car because of the government scrappage scheme and trading him in would have got me £2k off my new car.

    He needs a clean though, indside and out. I'm just waiting for the bad weather to stop, because otherwise as soon as I get him cleaned he'll be dirty by the time I get home (live down a country road, mud!!!). He also needs a couple of new parts (cheap bits and bobs, midsection of exhaust which is starting to corrode.etc) and I want to get some alloys and a CD/MP3 player (lol, radio).

    I love Kenny.

    I'm a confident driver. but other people make me nervous, well more angry. I have terrible road rage. Yesterday I was driving up a busy high street, and there was traffic queuing towards me on the otherside of the road - some guy turned right from a junction where the queuing was without even looking whether there was any oncoming cars from my direction, and I had to slam my brakes on to avoid hitting him. smurfing idiot.

    My dad just got a new Audi, and as it's a company car his employer will be insuring us (my family) on it too. I can't wait to drive it. It's beautiful! I probably will be very nervous driving that for the first time, it's massive compared to my lil KA.

    wow essay.

    My first car was a charcoal gray 1976 Datsun 710 station wagon that I loved. Unfortunately it just plain wore out after 30 years of use. We were the original owners and it was a hand-me-down from my parents.

    Here are some pictures of the same model car I found online:

    I don't have my first vehicle yet, guess whyI'm only 15. But I'm a confident driver, and a good one at that, because my uncle let me drive his 2006 Dodge 3500 (Dually and Laramie, just to let you know how much my uncle loves me), and I drove without incident through town, and down some back roads.

    EDIT: Practically what I was driving, minus a few features.

    I think I have a name for every vehicle that my family has.
    My dad's GMC Sierra is the Jimmy
    My mom's Mitsubishi Galant is the Mitsi
    My brother's GMC Sierra is Bessie
    My sister's Pontiac G6 is the Ponyac.

    When my dad had a Chevrolet Silverado, it was the "Chevy in the levee", cookie for anyone who can name the song.

    You're right, and I know someone who own's one.
    But I named it because of a pun I made with GM, like GMy, and it kinda stuck. (Think Gee Emm y)

    1984 Nissan Maxima

    It was my dad's car for several years, and he then gave it to me once I got my license. It had 190000 miles on it when I got and 200000 when I got rid of it due to an accident. It was fairly dependable overall.

    The car was the design shown in the attached picture except it was gray.
