Ok, so I was just thinking about my first car, a Ford Festiva, and remembering how horrible it was and I thougth i'd start a thread where everyone could tell us what your first car was and one quick sentence about it. Tell us Make, Model, Year, Color, Best and Worst thing about it. Short and Simple:
Make: Ford
Model : Festiva
Year : 93?
Color : Faded Black
Best Thing : Manual and 30 mpg
Worst Thing: No exterior door handles, had to have a rope tied to the interior door handle and run back to the hatchback, so I had to pull the rope from the trunk to pop open the door

Make: Jeep
Model: Wrangler Sport
Year: 2006
Color: Black
Best Thing: It's mine
Worst Thing: It makes me poor 
I love my Jeep, it's getting lifted this weekend and I'm really excited, haha. Although it does make me poor and everything it feels really good to be able to spend my money on something I love, being able to buy my Jeep with my money at 17 was awesome and a big feeling of accomplishment that took an extremely long time to get to, haha.

1967 Wimbledon White Mustang (I was 14 when my dad drug it home) 2 years to restore.
Best: Got to drive it for 6 mos.
Worst: Rust bucket from hell, had to put in all new floors and the engine was seized. And, I only drove it for 6 mos. before a cotton head slammed and rolled me 4 times. No fun moment in life.

85 Ford Fairmont
half the car had been hit by a train and the back door was held shut with a coat hanger. I lost reverse in my girlfriends driveway on our first date. We had to push it out of the driveway with her parents sitting on the front porch watching.
To be a piece of crap I got more action in that car than most of my friends in their "nice" cars

Make: Jeep
Model: Cherokee
Year: 91
Color: Gray
Best: It was free, it already had mt's on it, and it was a jeep
Worst: Leaked oil, tranny slipped, and had open diffs.
It was a good jeep but unfortunately my cousins wheeled it and never took proper care of it so when i got a hold of it there were so many problems with it i decided it wasn't worth fixing and got a wrangler.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil, that true love never dies. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

Haha. We used to do secret service turns in my buddys Escort station wagon. Maybe it's a Ford thing. Best thing to do is drop a girl off at her house and then do em while backing out of the driveway. Really gets the parents excited.
Ohh yeah,
Make: Jeep
Model: Wrangler
Year: 95
Color: White
Best: A magnet
Worst: It's paid off and still draining my wallet 9 years later.
