Not sure that makes me feel better. lol!!!
My parents were buying it for me and they wouldn't get anything newer so it was either the Geo or a 90 Toyota Turcel Wagon.
Easy choice.
What was your first car?

1988 Ford Ranger in 1993. That was 29 vehicles ago. https://www.thehackersparadise.com/...many-cars-have-you-owned-in-your-life.107133/
Mine was a 1978 280z that cost me $20,400.
Let me splain.
Bought the 78 in 89 for $400. Rusty deathtrap. Love at first sight.
Almost 30 years later I bought another 280z. This one is in much better shape. And cost me $20k, lol.

Looking a little long in the tooth there, were you 65 and married when you graduated high school?
Showing my age but, first car was '56 Mercury. 312 V-8, Holley carb, 3 on the floor. Gas was .25/gal. Dad sold it when I went to SE Asia. First brand new car was '73 VW Super Beetle.
My first car was a 1972 Datsun B210, the car I learned to drive on was a 1968 Impala station wagon affectionately known as "the blue moose"

That's the color my 64 T-Bird was, I just couldn't find any pictures of that color 'Bird to post.a '61 Pontiac Catalina, 389, 3 spd… same color as this one.
Love the pictures! I would have to 1st find, then scan a pic of my 1st which was a 68 VW Bug convertible. If you dented the fenders, you could pull them back out no problem; stuck in a snowdrift, just pick the car up and move it back to the street. floors were rusted out and the heat was stuck in the on position which was a bit difficult in MO summers
Black on black Pontiac Grand Am coupe.....WITH moonroof!!!
1965 Chevrolet Impala
I bought a 1980 Toyota Celica GT in 1986 for $2k. Loved that car and sold it in 1989 for $2400.

2001 Honda Civic. Worked my absolute a** off to pay for a majority of it (with the rest paid off later to my grandfather). Spent a bunch of summers working to accumulate money for it. Wore the paint off washing it hahahaha!
That said, I think buying a brand new car as a first car is a combination of kind of crazy, and absolutely setting a precedent that the condition of my possessions rest solely in my own hands.

The first car that my parents gave me at 17 yrs old was a 1974 orange Ford Pinto. 
Manual steering, manual brakes. Damn thing bottomed out so badly causing sparks to fly that friends dubbed it the Batmobile.
2 years prior, they gave my older brother a 1969 Camaro... but who's picking favorites???
I drove the Batmobile for a couple weeks before saying thanks/but no thanks. Worked and saved, at 18 the first car I bought for myself was a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado. White, pristine... smokin'!
The next I bought a couple years later was a 1981 Camaro Z28. Former show car. T-tops, functional roll-cage, black w/red pinstriping and Crager Centerline chrome wheels.
Prefer the '69 model but actual car for car... mine blew big bro's away.
