At the ripe OLD age of 33 I got my FIRST car a Mitsubishi Colt 1985
I loved that sweety till hubby totalled it 
Than I got myself a REAL 1969 VW BEETLE.... a black one with red dots 
After 2 years I started giving a lot more pain than pleasure, so I had to exchange him for a baby blue 1999 Fiat Ceicento |

1970 Ford Maverick ~ bright red with a black stripe. I borrowed $200 for a down payment, but I paid it off.
Really loved that car. |

My first car was a '74 AMC Gremlin. It was 3 years old when I bought it from my parents in '77 and I kept it for 3 years.
Since then, things have gone like this:
'77 Triumph TR7 (owned from '80-'84)
'84 Pontiac Fiero (owned from '84-'85)
'85 Mazda 626 (owned from '85-'87)
'87 Mazda RX7 (owned from '87-'93)
'93 Jeep YJ (owned from '93-'99)
'99 Acura EL (owned from '99-'04)
'05 Subaru Legacy (owned from '04-present) |

Don't you wish you still had that first car? I do.
I've seen a couple at auto shows that were really well maintained.
Looks like my daughter is leaning toward a new-Beetle or a PT Cruiser, we'll see what we can find thats reasonable.
Anyone ever owned one of these, any recommendations? |

I'll just say that I've seen more New Beetles on the side of the road than any other car...this from someone who still has a 1988 VW FOX GL.
I liked the way the PT Cruiser looks...but everyone I talk to about it says PASS
I don't know enough about cars to give intelligent advice  |

First car 1991 Pontiac SL in 2001
After that dies a year later I got a 2000 red Neon
A year and a half later I got a blue Alero 2000 which is the car I am driving now.
My parent bought me the first one and I paid them back. The other two I paid for myself.

| I really want a VW Beetle, either light blue or yellow, the new Ford Mustang. But my ultimate dream car is a Viper. If all else fails, I'll definitely take a STARSHIP!! |
