What happened to your first car, do you remember?

Mine ate a couple of valves for lunch and was done lol. It still ran somehow, but on 2 of its 4 cylinders and had a horrible knock.

Meth head stole it, cleared it out to sell all my stuff for drug money, went for a joyride, and then totaled it in a car wreck. Luckily he's a repeat offender that they had in the system when they dusted for fingerprints

Luckily they recovered my stuff. It was mostly just clothes and books anyway. The guy also took all the trash out of my car too. That was the most telling of how high out of his mind he was.

The insurance paid more for it than it was worth, so I was able to use that money as a down payment for the car that I currently drive.

My dad drives it in his mail route when his primary vehicle is in the shop. It is a 1991 Chevy Cavalier with just under 400k miles
@Fungirlmmm My brother's first car was a 1987 Cavalier with a 4 speed manual.

My parents sold it when I was away on a class trip. Then again, it was falling apart, and probably about to break down for good.

@FaeLuna wow mom upgraded to a newer car. you were not good at fixing cars????? were you surprised when you got home??? 馃樅

@trackboy I was just a teen with a fresh license, and no idea how to fix a car at the time. It was bit surprising, though.

The first car I loved was a Chevy Sprint. Dad traded it in because the alternator blew too many times. I was so mad.

The first car I bought completely by myself was a Honda CR-V. I wanted a Jeep Cherokee but Honda鈥檚 reliability captured my attention. I sold it years later because I wanted anti-lock brakes.

72 Datson b110. Exchanged it for a 70 Mercury Monarch plus 500 because I took over his window washing business. This was in 1982.

That was a super great deal. Since someone rear-ended the Mercury causing only a minor dent in the bumper and received 500 from their insurance company. The Dotson probably would have been totalled.

It was wrecked. Some idiot went through on a roundabout and hit it the side of it. It was a rare car. Had been my grandad's. A 3l diesel engine in a tiny car. I miss it.

First my brother used it and ran it into the ground. It was a Ford sedan. I used to call it Old Betsy. Then my father traded it in and got me a dealers Pinto, V-8 engine.

Mine was wrecked, through no fault of my own -- I was hit by a reckless driver.

I sold it.
It had been my father鈥檚 car. I drove it for several years, until it gave up the ghost.
