Tell me about your crappy first car!
#7
My first car was a 1982 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that I shared with my mom while I was in high school. That car got ~8 miles per gallon, the A/C system didn't work and it tended to fog up like mad when the weather got cold.

Midway through college I moved to off-campus housing and picked up a 1992 Cutlass Ciera that was very workable. It was a major upgrade in fuel economy (it got ~18 mpg) right at the time that gas prices started spiking up, sharply. I ended up driving this one all through college and for the first couple years at my job. I ended up having to have the transmission rebuilt but other than that, I had very few problems with it other than, again, the A/C system didn't work. When I bought my new car, this one got passed down to one of my brothers. He has had a heck of a time with it, since then, as it has had electrical problems, door and window problems, you name it, he's probably had it. I guess I got rid of it at just the right time! Wink

Now I drive a 2007 Hyundai Azera. This car has been everything all of the previous cars were not. I definitely got to know what I did and didn't want in a car through my first two cars and then bought this one to give me all of the things I wanted. I love the car and probably wouldn't trade it for anything. My only complaint about it is the lack of an iPod jack, which I may have to remedy at some point in the not-too-distant future.
