1982 Buick Titanic, one giant green pillow on the inside -- with electric seats (It caught fire driving home from work.)

Or we going further than the first?
1985 Chevy Cavalier wagon (carjacked: I went to college in the Bronx.)
1986 Chevy Cavalier hatchback (I was the thermostat. It lasted 8 years and finally rusted to pieces.)
1999 Civic: The most reliable car I've ever owned other than my current Accord (stolen from the LGA lot.)

Not sharing my mother's maiden name, favorite teacher, the street I grew up on, or my first car. You guys do know this website is open for anyone to mine, right?

I’d settle for your favorite ice cream flavor or first pet’s name but seriously, unless the name on your credit report matches your APC username, which in your case would be neat, it’s probably ok to share a car story on APC.

I had a hand-me-down 88 Pontiac Grand-Am 2-door. It wa suppossedly gray, but we sanded down and primered so many rust spots that it looked liked my paint was a snow camo pattern. Lots of fun in that beast!

Got you beat! 1977 Mercedes 240D. Bought it from my parents in 1999. Estimated 0-60 in 22.5 seconds, but my recollectionis more like 25. Thing couldn't get out of its own way but sure liked to belch diesel soot when you really hit it. Engine was simple and bullet proof and it just looked awesome. Id been working on it with my dad since i was about 8 years old Great first car. Finally sold it to a restorer with 250k+ miles on it (estimated. Odo quit working at 217k).

I had the 72 beetle with the dual port 1600cc. Wanted the Baja but treated the street version like a baja
