This may have been done before. If it was, just cast me out into the neververse & forget it.

But....I seriously doubt that MOST of us started with a Porsche.

How about a compendium of where we all got hooked on cars?

Pics required! Don't care if it was last week or.....whenever. Don't car if it was bikes, but needs to be road licensed.

Not my actual car but my first car was spitfire. Yellow with a black top

Scary cars. Ever have your brake lights just stop working with a truck behind you. About the 3rd time this happened I quit driving it.

My first car was a 1967 Austin Healey 3000.

It had been rolled over, and I bought it for $500, and "rebuilt" it.

Never looked pretty, but it ran okay most of the time. I finally
bought my first 914 to replace it in 1972

My first car was a 64 Squareback 1500S. Oh yeah! dual carbs..same puke brown as in the pic but had a gas heater so great ski car. Even slept in the back a few times.
rebuild the engine to a 1776cc

Hyundai Excel it cost me a buck, and if you went over 55 the car almost vibrated apart

I would be another person whose first car was (and is) a 914
1975 1.8 gone 1911
and currently with a bad case of leperousy
Pictures will follow (although I must warn you all that it is ugly, but only until I go and paint it)

94 Jeep Wrangler for two years, blew a transmission and it got 12MPG, traded in for 914 2.0, and after three engines here I am.

my first car was a 914 too. her name was Zuma. black, 73 1.8. no pics

My parents gave me a '70 Bug but within 1 year I bought my 914.
Yes, the 914 pictured to the left.

Check out this Bad Ass Machine (not actual pics of my car, for some reason I never took pictures of that car) The 1982 Ford Escort EXP, two seats of front wheel drive, 80HP, catfish looking, metric, piece of SH!T. Mine was Tan, or beige in color...I got it in '86, and at that point, only 4 years old, It was considered disposable. My Dad paid $1600, and then spent another 600 fixing stuff that would be broken again less than 6 mo. later.

And I wanted a '76 280Z...

My first was a 1980 Chevy Chevette (Little Vette), that was purchased for my 16th birthday by my father for $200. I fixed it up and put 50,000 miles on it delievering pizza and then sold it working for $500.

Great little car that got 27 mpg while running hard.

My first car I got I had to restore. I starting when I was 15. Finished it back to original when 18.

Then dad came home drunk and decided to take it for a spin.......
Dumbass survived the crash...

RIP
47' Ford Coupe with super deluxe flathead V8

First vehicle was a truck. Bought it November 05. 1990 Isuzu PUp. 4WD 2.6L manual. I loved it. No AC though. We sprayed the whole outside with rhino lining.

Then came the Maxima. Some that had AC when it got hot and it was free. Ran well. No pics.

I then bought the 914 March this year. About 2 months after I got my license.

I actually got into cars with the whole ricer scene. My car was going to be a Honda Del Sol with a kit and metal wing, fart can and intake. Soon after that I got into classics starting with the classic mini. Then the Boxster then something I could afford, the 924. After talking with this guy who had one he was talking about 914's I stumbled on here and have wanted one ever since. I finally found her and wouldn't trade her for the world.

1966 t-bird

1969 Plymouth Valiant 225 (AKA Car Bomb). Here I am with friends cutting school to go skiing. This was 1986.

Demick

sorry no pics,,,, my first car 1965 MG Midget...2 months later a 68 Triumph TR250

Here's mine.

Not the 914, the Mustang II in the background.....

That is a shot of the track car in 1985-1986.

pretty much what my first car looked like: 1988 Toyota Camry LE w/ 170k miles and still being driven now by my dad.

Fat fender Fords rule!

My first was a '64 TR4 - sorry, no pics.

The first car that I owned was a 1949 Ford V-8 club coupe with glass pack Smitty mufflers and red tartan plaid seat covers boy was I a hot s--t in that car.Nothing sounded as good as that Flat head V-8 with a dual exhaust system....Never forget it all 95 HP of it.

First car I ever drove! ... that was in my mom's green 2CV with a big ass yellow duck sticker on the back. This is not a pic of the actual car but looks pretty much like it. That thing was a hoot.
The first car I owned was a 99 Expedition ... got actual pics of that one but way too boring to post.

1961 Plymouth Valiant


KT

1958 VW bus. Bought in 1974 from a guy in Hermosa Beach for $400.00.

I paid my cousin $300 for a '79 Chevy Monza. Before I got my licence, I had the car painted by a friend Corvette White with "Porsche" red strip up the hood and over the roof. I also added chome painted rims from the local recycler.
edit: I almost forgot that I added so much ArmorAll to the interior and seats! that you couldn't keep in the seat when taking any corner over 5mph.
