Do you miss your first car?

*DGthe3* · 06-16-2010, 02:14 AM

I was thinking about this the last time I washed my car. My GranDamage is my first car (aside from regularly borrowing my moms '97 Saturn SL2). And despite its faults, I really like that car (hate the little Saturn!).

Do you folks still have a special place in your heart for your first car? Or are you happy to be rid of that POS?

how about a 4th vote... "nope, don't miss it because I still got it"? My 97 was my first car and I still got it (and its not going anywhere).

You should know my story by now. I sold my first car (78 camaro LT) about 3-4 years ago... then bought her back about 3-4 months ago. I wont let her go again.

Well, if you still it have I tried to word things so its still covered. If it was a great car, go with #3. If you hate it, #2. If you like it, yet it isn't that great, #1.

I just revised the wording a little though

I was at a dealership a few weeks ago with my car all cleaned up and looking purdy. The salesman came out and said "how about trading that old clunker in on a 2010?"

I said "how about taking a hike".... shortly followed by

My first car was a beater, but had some good times in it. Yeah, I miss it.

It was only a 92 Mercury Sable that I had bought from my aunt in perfect condition back in 2001. But it was cheap and the only reason I miss her is because some D-bag wrecked her on the way to school one morning. It was reliable and had decent stuff inside. RIP

Smart move buying her back!

As for me.. 82 Dodge Omni.....I DONT THINK SO. But, it got me from point A to point B.
