Your First Car... A Memoir

**cpsolt** · July 10th, 2013 09:18 PM

mine's a number of firsts:
first car i learned how to drive in was a mitsubishi mirage - plagued with engine problems; fortunately, naiuuwi ko pa rin pag nasisira.
first new car i drove was a bnew type Z city gl - company car assigned to me when i was a med rep.
first ride i bought on loan c/o my bro was a suzuki muticab dropside pickup - sold it recently and missing it everyday. never ashamed of bringing it on dates (naka aircon and mags naman) and to work; kumikita rin sya pag pina-aarkilahan ko for gas and booze.
first bnew ride that i now own - suzuki alto k10.

The family car was eventually handed down to me back then...a 1994 Toyota Corolla GLi. Drove it until I left the Philippines,
then got my own 'first' car..a brand new Toyota Corolla LE (AT) that I kept for about 3 years. I do miss driving my old Corolla, I hope she's okay.

Kinagisnan kong service na 4 wheels, land cruiser 40 ni lolo. I still feel sorry na isip ko back then na pangit siya compared sa na usong shiny stainless jeeps noon, late ko na appreciate ganda niya.

My first car was a 2 door Ford Cortina which i bought second hand from a dealership in arnaiz ave. In q.c. used it during my 3rd and 4th yr in college back in 86' to 88'. Eventually sold it after. My first brand new car was a double cab nissan in 1990 and it was memorable to me as we used it to sleep at night during the baguio killer earthquake (as im from baguio).

I probably posted this years ago. But, my first car was a beat-up, poorly maintained 1976 Pontiac Firebird 6.6 which I bought in 1982. I got rid of it in 1986 because back then, I couldn't afford the parts and maintenance on it.

I'm kicking myself now after seeing all these reality shows about car restorers paying top dollar for classics that were in far worse shape.

My first car was a 1972 VW Beetle. I learned a lot about cars with it as my uncle was a mechanic and I was his alalay whenever something needed to be fixed with it. My most memorable moment with it was when the engine burst into flames (common fault with a Beetle) while I was out on a date with my GF. Everything turned out ok. She became my wife.
