1. I'm still driving mine...
2000 Saturn SL2. Nice little car, it has its original clutch and tranny, and still works great (though as I say this, the a/c compressor just went out)

2. My first car:


A 1976 Datsun B210 that looked very much like this one.

The original might have been a reliable set of wheels, but by the time I acquired it, it had had four previous owners, and the body was more Bondo than metal. Its only good feature was a smooth, easy-to-use manual transmission.

16. Mr. Ected
Mr. Ected

My first car was one of the last Nissan Datsun ever produced, between the Datsun and Cherry model.. A white car with red interiour. A wonderfull car, as long as it was at least +10C outside... When it plumered below that, the old car was not to pleased about it all... But it worked well, and was a good car, as long as I had it - wel, to I had an ecounter on slipery winterroads, and the dam car got into the ditch.. totall wrecked it... But I and my brother was at least safe, but shaced...

25. Oh yes. 74 Toyota Corolla. Drove it for 15 years
even after all the paint on the roof and hood was worn off to primer. It was brown, and 4 door, and I was made fun of for having such an "old person" sedan. That was a time when it was not acceptable to buy foreign cars and I had many problems with people. I will never give a crap about a car again----just a way to get from here to there.
