    As a new driver - 1982 Ford Laser Ghia.

    yes, the "silver edition" was 1982, but only in the phils, i believe. elsewhere, it was just a 1982 corona (marketing gimmick?).. and horribly heavy pawis-na-pawis steering..
    but the 1974-77 was the famous RT100 series.. used to have one, albeit second hand that we resurrected from the bodega (o sige, junkyard)... loved that car! solid body.. smooth-riding double A arm front suspension, silent, bulletproof iron block engine, very soft steering, even as 'twas only pawis steering.. napaka-gaang ng clutch pedal!... and, for the era, very spacious. taxi companies flew to it like bees to honey, it became almost too baduy to own then..
    rumor had it, its design borrowed from the ford t-bird.. but it was only a rumor..

    so what was my first drive? a 1973 4 door ford escort ex-taxi!

    My mistake. I do remember it was a Corona, though. Definitely not 1982 but the one with round headlights.

    4 wheel,

    Suzuki Vitara 4x4 AT (15yrs old at the time, 11yrs ago at pinatagay ako ng driving instructor ko na pinsan ko ng isang baso [pale pilsen para pampalakas loob] )

    Toyota Revo MT (16yrs old, 10yrs ago and first car ng parents ko, fully concentrated sa MT, natuto mag-drive sa loob ng subdivision sa takas mode hanggang sa nagkaroon ng license, di na naglaro sa timezone sa arcade at fully concentrate na sa real machine)

    2 wheel,

    1980 kawasaki motor ng grandfather ko, na purely metal. during high-school, in a very short period of time, then yung mga xrm/raider in 2006, never na nakapag-drive ulit ng motor, up to recent period.
