How did you feel the night before you got your car?

[Memphis Raines]

I'm referring to the day or night before you finally got your hands on your first brand new car at the dealership or second hand car or any "new" ride for you

How did you feel? Never slept the whole night? Nervous? Excited? (understatement hehe).

I'm sure that you still remember even just a little...

I felt excited kase I was just in first year college and I got this brand new Lancer GLXi na automatic pa! Black in color with no tint! Natakot din ako kase alam ko sa Taft mahirap mag park kaya I made sure when I got the car na and drove it to school, I left the house before 6am everyday! Haaay Memories! hehehehehe

My very first car was a '92 Honda Accord and was just a hand-me-down from my mom and yung first car na talaga ako bumili was a used '97 Mitsu Eclipse GS back in 1999 talagang di ako mapakali the night before. I was tossing and turning and I didnt get any sleep at all . The previous owner was a HS kid and the was not really driven around. It only had 14K miles. I was so excited signing the papers at the dealership and couldnt wait to get out of there to show my brother my car cuz he wanted one so bad. I drove it for 10 mos and traded it for a brand new 2000 Mitsu Eclipse GS.

My first car was an '89 Lancer back in Manila, it was a hand-me-down but it had a lot of accidents na that made it look...err...chop-chop. I mean, when my parents got home they used the bumper to feel the garage wall. That pushed the front bumper inwards, pango siya eventually. The car's trunk was pushed in and the car was sandwiched when a bus accidentally bumped it daw, so the trunk was badly painted. The rear windshield was broken due to falling debris when my mom parked it near a construction site. When I removed the rear seat, true enough I saw broken glass still hidden (this revelation was around 2001 na). Then there came the mismatched paint, and no power steering, and mismatched tires (two Good Years, one Sime Darby, one other I forgot). The rear springs eventually gave way and so it was bouncing heavily. It was a bare 1.3L EL model with barely 70hp (I just recently found this out hehe) and the AC wasn't the best (read: it would be surprising if it worked well and blew cold)...needless to say I wanted our other car, the '95 Corolla, to drive around. It was 1997 or 1998 back then. I sometimes used the Corolla during color coding days or when I needed the good AC

For my first car here in the US, the night before I was browsing Benzworld.org on stuff about how to maintain my '83 300D. Kept on browsing, looking at Car Domain pics, reference pages, etc. First impression, grabe ang bigat nito parang tanke talaga I mean it was a diesel, it was slow, the steering wheel was huge, and it felt old. Of course I've done a lot to it since so it doesn't feel as old as it did.

i was practically glued to the phone the whole day talking to my SA, making sure that everything is in order, so that i can get the car the following day. i was very excited the night before. couldn't really sleep as well as i kept on tossing and turning also... i was itching my way to go the dealership first thing in the morning... felt really ecstatic when i finally laid my hands on the steering wheel and drove it out of the dealership.

[Isuzoom]

Excited and sad...excited of the new car, sad of the new monthly amortization.

[shadow]

Nothing, parang normal lang. Sa license ako hindi nakatulog, kasi after ko makuha yun, ako nagdrive pauwi from LTO.

Maybe this week I might get my first car under my name, so yeah maybe I won't be able to sleep

[HIFI]

I feel nothing, but driving home my new acquistion for the first time really makes me nervous.

I even forget to shift gears.

[hominid]

Test drive bago iuwi ako actually kinabahan. Sa kasama ko na lang pinadrive pauwi kasi 10+ yrs na un driver.

The first new car I didn't even plan on buying so there was no excitement. My parents and I went to a new car auto show sponsored by a bank and before I new it I was signing the papers to my first new car. My dad couldn't believe I used my credit card for down payment on the car at the dealership. My next purchase, I went and test drove the Xterra at the Nissan dealership and within two hours I was signing a check for my down payment. My mom thought when I brought it home that I was just checking to see if it fit in the garage. She just shook her head when the salesman said I was purchasing it already. Needless to say my wife won't let me step in a car dealership since I will almost certainly leave it with a new car. Hmmm...she's in the Philippines now maybe I will check the Santa Fe or Vera Cruz.

I just had my first car last May this year. Its a second hand car (Mitsubishi Galant 96 Super Saloon). When we got home, hindi talaga ako mapakali! I keep on staring at my car, hindi ako makapaniwalang may kotse na ko. Inipon ko kasi yung pera so parang ang sarap ng feeling na finally, MAY KOTSE NA KO! Kaso ang problema, wala kaming garahe, kaya hindi ako mapakali na baka may mag carnap na kaagad ng kotse! hahaha! ang mahirap kasi, nung una, walang alarm yung kotse ko so talagang hindi nya ako pinatulog! Kaya ang ending, hindi tuloy ako nakapasok sa work ko kinabukasan dahil antok na antok ako! hahaha! Pinalagyan ko na sya ng alarm ngayon, so medyo nakakatulog na ko ng mahimbing.. hehehe!

Ah yes! That adrenaline rush of a first car in your possession. For me, it doesn't have to be brand new so as long as it's all mine.

Ako naman hindi makatulog and galit na galit ako sa oras kasi ang tagal umandar yung oras...nakahiga na ako tapos bigla akung tatayo kasi naiisip ko na pag umaga ay makukuha ko na ang 1st ever cellphone ko....yes cellphone mga pare kasi yon request ko noon and gusto ko ako 1st magkaroon ng cellphone sa class namin nung highschool at 2000 para graduation gift. pag uwi ko ng hapon galing sa school ang nakita ko bagong Honda Civic and merong box na Ericcson A1018 sa loob ng kotse.
