What was your very first car?

[ern-diz]

Hey guys...

I was going through some old pictures (actual developed from film pictures) and found a handful of shots of my very first car. A 1987 Toyota Corolla FX hatchback.

My dad bought it salvaged, for something like $3000, as a surprise for my mom. I remember that her and I were actually out front when he pulled up in it. At first glance, she was super excited because it was the family's first small car; something she'd been wanting for a while. That quickly changed to not wanting anything to do with it when she realized it was 5-speed manual. He kept it as his daily and bought her a one year newer automatic in blue.

He drove this one to and from work for 9 years. He had tow hitch brackets welded in and we pulled it behind out motor-home for at least a dozen trips. When I got my license, he handed it down to me. It faithfully served me for nearly 3 more years and I actually got $1000 for it when trading in for my Civic. It will always hold a special place in my heart - and don't act like you're not jealous of that Wu-Tang global decal and deftones sticker lol. Not pictured is the Crossfire amplifier and Crossfire 12" subwoofer in custom 1.1' sealed box I had in the back.

So, what was your very first set of wheels? Post 'em if ya got 'em!
