People hate it,and it's not the best car in the world. Still, it is my first and I LOVEd IT.

My car during High School was a '95 Ford Aspire. It has only two doors and the hatch back was not something that made it look any close to being awesome.

But when I traded it for a new model, there was a moment of uncertainty when I thought of just keeping it in my garage with all the memories (:naughty:a stolen kiss, a slap in the face, a break up) it had inside.:banghead:

My better judgement overcame me and we had a sad parting.

I drive(still a senior) a 1989 Firebird listed in my sig. Had it since 2 weeks before i got my license. I am one of the few in my class to still be driving their first car. Others got brand new ones from the rich dads after wrecking their first beater.

Looking at your car, I can say that if I drove a car as cool looking as yours I would truly keep on driving it. It looks awesome.

The wheels look great man not to mention the paint job. I'd say that if you hold on to that and keep on tuning it, you'd have a classic on your hand soon.

Still, I think what makes cars in high schoool be of more worth are the countless memories it carries on our time as crazy bothered adoloscents.

I'm still in HS (senior) and I'm driving my '97 cougar, and love everything about it except the gas milage, lol.

A 1991 Honda CRX hatchback with the 1.5 liter Inline 4 cylinder and Automatic transmission. This car was picked out by my parents, agreed by me for being an occasional rally car as I was reading up about it. I didn't know anything about ricers back then, but I did get gunmetal rims (16") and an obnoxious exhaust, which I never did take off, but did eventually get tired of, especially in slow traffic- holy crap was it loud.

This car was a clown car, I once got 7 of my friends in it. I got my first meaningful kiss in the car, and she was hot. It was low to the ground (not lowered) and it handled like a go kart, even though it was front wheel drive. But...I don't miss it. It had serious tranny problems...okay not as bad as my Camaro does...

'93 lumina. I graduated 5 years ago and still have it. I agree that with all the memories, it's worth keeping. Good point, 89Firebird2.8 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=483898), I hate it when the people's parents "reward" them for being lousy drivers. If I knew I'd get a nice new car if mine got wrecked in highschool, I'm sure I could have found a nice small dumpster or pole to back into.

First I had a 91 plymouth expo. then an 02 daewoo lanos hb. then my current 96 civic lx which is going bye bye in a few months.

VW Golf III 1.8 GL 90hp
Austin Métro
Renault Clio D
Lancia Delta 1.6 LE
Alfa Romeo 156 TS
Bmw 525 TDS.

1987 Ranger AKA Danger Ranger. It was the best car I ever owned...... its still on the road, being driven by my brother.

I drove a 1937 Dodge 5 window business coupe. It had a larger than stock later model Dodge flathead 6 and a 3 speed box. With the wind at your back she'd do an honest 96 MPH, but was a handfull at speed. She had all the amenities for 1937 - a AM tube type radio, a real heater, and a crank-out windshield.

I drove a 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible. Bought it for $115.00 in June, 1971 . I loved that car.

I drove a 1985 Dodge Daytona TBI. When the transmission needed a rebuild we sold it for $950 and bought a 1984 AMC Jeep Wagoneer.

I also had a Daytona, An '89 daytona ES. She wasn't the greatest but she will always have a special place in my heart. RIP. haha

84 Honda accord, untill the engine blew, then I drove a 84 Bronco II. Loved that thing. It was great until the drive pully broke off and bent the shaft.

I'm a senior in high school and drive a chrysler sebring, but getitng my own car shortly.

1990 BMW 735i

I also had a Daytona, An '89 daytona ES. She wasn't the greatest but she will always have a special place in my heart. RIP. haha

Im a junior.. and last year i had a 97 expodition.. and this year i have a 95 mustang.. v6 with candy blue transparent flames.. 07 rims.. and bout to install 2 hkx12 from ma audio. =]

i had a 1999 Toyota Sienna. Leather interior, sunroof, and a cd-player and more room than i knew what do do with. couldnt have asked for anything more in a 1st car.

For all but the last four days of high school (just graduated this year actually) I took the bus to school and carpooled home in either a 2002 VW Passat or a 1998 Acura RL (friends cars, getting the RL owner to change his badges to Honda Legend for shits and giggles:p).

Anyways, I bought my first car cash a week before school ended. It's my 1998 BMW 328is coupe. Love the car to death, it's name is Bojangles:grinyes:

In high school, I drove a 1969 Jeep pickup with a 350 Buick engine and a three speed on the floor. My parents owned it and let me drive it to school. The first car I bought was a 1965 Mustang, 289, 3 speed. It was pretty much rust free and I got it for $1600, but that was in 1984.:eek2:

I drove a '72 Toyota Land-Cruiser FJ-40. I still have it, though it's been going through an engine swap for about 7 years now.... Anyways, it was slow as hell, achieved dogshit gas mileage and was cold and noisy. Definitely one of the coolest cars I've driven and absolutely unbreakable, (trust me, I tried, many times), perfect for a highschooler! :D

1990 Ranger that I put a 300hp small block chevy in. Actually drove that for just over 4 years until the fourth turbo 350 trans and third rear end went out.

Started with an 83 Chevy Celebrity 4dr. Then moved up to a 91 Beretta GT 5 speed.

99 explorer, wrecked it and got a 92 caprice...
i think im a ford hater now

1983 Chevy Chevette....also graduated in `83

In HS, I drove a '93 Pontiac Bonneville SE.

I loved it, it never broke down or needed any major repairs...'till I wrecked it T_T stupid me, being teenage driver on a good car. But I took responsibility and took my graduation money to get it fixed. I was happy again, until my father started smoking in it. I could never drive it again.

It helped me fall in love with luxury cars...and the awesomeness of the 3800 ^_^;;

93 Chevy Lumina

same car i drive now! black 02 nissan sentra! and i love it as much as the first day i got it... mest mileage ever!

1983 chevy s-10 "extended" cab with the scattering 2.8 ...good times!

First car I owned was a 1984 Nissan Sentra. Pretty reliable and easy to maintain car. My second car I got just as I was leaving high school, a 1972 Datsun 260Z. That has to be my all time favorite car I've had so far. Ended up selling it to get something more reliable for my job.
