My first car was a 1984 Ford Tempo 4 door 5 speed. I love it b/c it was my first car but it was a peice of crap! The horn stopped working and my dad rewired it and when it blew it vibrated the whole dash. My uncle was riding with me once and I blew it and he about jumped into the back seat.
It lasted until my Senior year of High School and I got it b/n my sophmore and Junior year.
My 2nd car was my mom's car. A 1987 4 door Honda Accord. I love that too. I kept that until my 2nd year in college.
My 3rd car was a 1993 Sunbird. My only stipulation when I got that one was I wanted a 2 door. I got that in 1996 and kept it until 2001. Loved it. My boss bought it and her daughter drives it and she loves it and calls it "Phil".
In 2001 I bought my first new car. A 2001 Olds Alero. It had 200 miles on it b/c they had to drive it from Indiana so I could drive it b/c the dealer I went to didn't have any at the time.
When I got that one my stipulations were auto locks and 4 doors!
