My first ghetto-ride was a 1986 Pontiac 6000. It was white, it had four doors, and the engine was chained to the frame so it didn't fall over or something. It was ghettolicious. The beast!

lol Bruce, my second car was a 1985 VW Jetta. It was maroon, and I don't think it'd had an oil change atleast 10 years prior to when I bought it. It was a cool lookin car, and I loved it even though it was beyond a beater. I don't even know what size the engine was... it was strange though.. it had the Wolfsburg edition emblem on the fenders.

I hate to say but my first car was a '91 LX 5.0 Mustang...I know. It was one of the funnest cars I've ever driven. For some odd reason I could never keep rear tires on it or gas in the tank...hehe. But I am proud to say my first NEW car I ever bought is my Pure White P5.

A blue 1988 Chevy Nova with 200K. It lasted about 2 months, then decided it was ready to quit. Never did get it fixed. Just traded the POS in on the Protegé. The car was cursed anyway....

My first car was a 98' Jeep Cherokee Sport, I had a 2 1/2" lift on it with some 33" General Grabber A/T tires. Man, sometimes I wish I could go 4 wheelin again anytime I wanted like before. But I love my P5 too much to give it up, and that's why I have friends with Jeeps too so they can take me out to the trails still.

My current 91 protege DX is the first. I got it for less than you'd believe and i couldnt be happier w/ it... actualy i could but...

i was reminded of how much i love it when i had to drive my mom's '95 626 around today, thing felt like a boat.

Then i was reminded of how much i hate it when i had to drive my dad's demo. 2002 Envoy
