Your First Car... A Memoir

[yohc]

Ang first car ko ay 1992 Toyota Corolla XL. Ako ang bumili. Ayaw kasi ako ibili ng magulang ko. Pero na-realize ko na kapag pinaghirapan mo ay mamahalin mo at iingatan mo.

[box82]

my 1st car is mitsubishi lancer 1982 gsr, and still using it.

[Alcymus]

My 1st car is an Opel Omega 99 B version 2...hayy pag pinaghirapan mo nga mamahalin mo talaga I agree with that..

my first car was a m/t 99 5dr green toyota rav4 given to me when i graduated from HS. i drove it throughout my college life (3 1/2yrs). saved up enough money after 2 yrs for a full sound set up (separates, 2 14" or was it 16"? 300 watt alpine subs with a kicker 1k watt amp). sold it before graduating from college to a newspaper editor (he bought it along with my full sound set up. *sob*)

Showing my age but...

My first car was a blue 2-door 1982 Ford Laser Ghia. It had a 1.5 li engine and a sweet 4 speed manual tranny. Soon after, my dad gave me his 1983 Ford Telstar Hatchback. It had a 1.8 li engine and digital speedometer and tach. Power windows na rin and auto-swing yung aircon vents

[mqavila]

My first car was a 2nd hand 1995 Mazda 323. That car served me well for around 4 years before I sold it off. Not bad for something that I bought for around P130,000 at the time.

This is was what eventually became my first car. It was a 1975 2.0 RS Escort Brenda that my Dad prepared for the 1975 Gedol Rallye but did not finish because it broke down somewhere in Bicol. My dad is the one driving and his Navigator was Jun Espino now an officer of AAP. It was towed back by then Ford Supercars (It's the Nissan dealerhip now in Q. Ave) to Manila and was retired to our personal use.

I learned to drive in that car when I was 13 in 1977 and drove it to school (no license and later fake license! hahaha) bet. 1977 to 1978 when my mom decided it would be more economical to stop paying the mortgage and wait for it to be repossesed by the bank! In short, ala na kami pera... The repo men came and I cried boo hoo hoo....

I used to consume approx 11 liters of gas a day from BF Pque to Don Bosco Mand. and back every day! Pero 11 liters was only P20 then! LOL! at wala pang aircon yun!

Sayang kasi that car had the 2.0 Tarmac Engine, Minilite Magnesium wheels, 2 gas tanks with electric switching, Valeo Rally H4 headlights and Bilstein Rallye springs and shocks...... Pero by today's standards panis na yun!!

It was a car that everyone hated to drive but a first car is like your first love....

the first car that i purchased out of my own pocket was a 2nd hand TOYOTA COROLLA SR .

two-door / 2T engine ... with MOMO steering Wheel , Alpine Stereo , and ( i forgot the brand now ) mags ... < star shaped similar to those used by Ferraris >

That would probably be cromodora or the knock-off commodore mags. O di kaya ATS

I just got my 1st car 2day... Mazda 626 '94 model ata toh if I'm not mistaken. Hope it won't give me any trouble...

Naku, magandang oto yan kaso malakas masyado sa gas... Sana company ang nagpapa-gas sa iyo. I think that sold bet 95 to 98.

Yung 626 ko nuon naputulan ng timing belt at 40K pa lang. Tukod valves kaya na overhaul. Buti lang company car.

[Amazing]

I had an Off White 1981 Volkswagen Passat Surf Two door. Its was my college car passed down by my father to me. Back in 94, driving a car going to school will always give one Plus Pogi Points.

Nakakaiyak naman itong thead na ito.. hehe. I learned to drive when i was just 14 yo. Was practicing with my dads owner-type jeep and L300 until my parents gave me my first car -- a '94 or '95 (itlog) mits lancer GLi (I was around the age of 18 na then). Loved it so much!
Since we were on car trade back then, for a matter of short periods, i had a Green Civic Esi, Blue Corolla GLi, White Corona, Two-toned Space Wagon, Red Galant SS (which i also so loved!), then my '99 Silver-Gray Civic (which had been my partner for more than half a decade and helped me get my FIRST purchased car.) Well, technically and officially my first owned brand new (purchased with pawis at malapot na dugo) car is my present Mits Strada GLX. Acquired it Jan 2008. Dreamed of a pick-up truck since 1994. Dreams do come true (tulo ang luha...hahaha!)
