| First car I drove was my parents half dead Jetta (almost no brakes, no heat, no wipers, no signals!) that was the beat up second car. At 19 I bought a 1986 Diesel Golf for $1500 with the money I saved from my summer job. |

| In 1988, my college graduation gift was my parents old 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. It was a great graduation gift. It was old so as a then-22-yo male driver, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg for insurance and living in the city, I wasn't worried about it getting broken into or stolen. It lasted me 4 good years for which I had no car payment to make. I saved up and in 1992, I bought my first brand new car...for cash! |

Volkswagon bus, same model year as me! Bright orange. My parents said it was slow enough that I couldn't get into trouble, and bright enough that no one would run into it by accident. No heat, of course, and it went through belts like I went through boyfriends. I got really good at changing the belts myself.
First car I bought on my own was an 18-year-old toyota pickup. I bought it for the price of a tow and a transmission, and sold it a year later for $2k. That was a good truck. |

What? No brand new, top of the line Range Rovers, Mercedes or Beemers? I am so disappointed with you and the other Joneses.

| 1981 Ford LTD, off-white with burgundy vinyl interior. Kind of a boat, but I loved it. |

| Pontiac T1000, from the mid 80s. That thing was hideous. I bought it in the mid 90s for $400. It was my first (and last!) manual transmission. |
