... are the greatest! I totally didn't expect this many people to reply! 
I'm not totally sure what I want my first car to be... but I think I want a truck. (Gotta haul dive gear somehow!) Plus, a lot of my family lives on farms.. and it would be a lot easier to get around in a truck! Also... thanks for the advice-on-the-side! It was awfully nice of ya'll.

you guys all know the year?!
Talbot Horizon - no idea of the year! I bought it in 1986 and it was second hand so probably around 1980. Got written off by a pheasant three years later - well it was cheaper to scrap it after it totalled the radiator!
Will be eternally grateful to my grandfather for refusing to let my father buy his Austin Agro (sorry Allegro) of him for me!!
No car now - much cheaper to rent one the one weekend a month I need one!

1956 Chevy convertible wish I still had it!
a 1956 Ford sedan which I got for $100 and sold for the same. It burned more oil than gasoline and shimmied badly at speeds above 45 mph but it got me to the swimming pool where I guarded that summer.
Have only had a few cars since I started driving in 1964 since most were Toyotas and lasted as long as 22 years without accident or serious incident.

Fun topic! Good luck with your first car. Looks like you'll always remember it. And always wish you kept it!
My first car was a 1976 Chevy Malibu Classic. The car was huge. I loved it though, as it seemed all of us loved our first car.
It might not have been the car we loved so much, but the freedom it represented.
My oldest son has my old Toyota Corrola '89' as his first car. And my 15 yr old will be 16 in February.
We've been talking about getting him a truck or a van. He likes those old 70's vans like in the TV show.
I'll let you know.

1979 Ford Courier, Orange. Ugliest thing you can imagine. I rebuilt the motor once or twice, kept blowing the head gasket. Ran the thing into the ground. I miss driving standards, but there just not very practical in the city.
