Nice, my first wheels - Oldsmobile Cutlass, wasn't until my second car (Chevy Cavalier) that I had all my stuff in the trunk. Futon cushion in the back ;-)

My first ride was a swimming pool blue VW Rabbit, fondly known as "the Death Rabbit" due to its tendency to have ALL electrics inexplicably short out during heavy rainfall. Good times, good times!

Swimming pool blue VW Rabbit... Nice!

@denmarkguy, that was slightly safer than my 73 super beetle with the gas "bomb" heater.

TIL: They call the Volkswagen Golf a VW rabbit in the states.

First time I was in the US was in 1993. It was in a suburb of Chicago, Called Arlington Heights. It was end of March. Still very cold. There were even few days of snow. Luckily, my car rental was upgraded and I got a brand new Century. I just loved that car.

I had an 1981 model with a vinyl top and hounds tooth interior, very fugly.

Awesome! I bet it was a sweet ride ;)

u- no- it

1989 Ford Escort Hatchback. Lasted me a good 8 years. Took me through college, travels, a couple of adventures, and a few boyfriends (one of whom was a mechanic. I will not confirm or deny whether my need for a good mechanic at that time did or did not have an impact on how long we stayed together.)
