Re: 1st car?
I don't have any pictures of it b/c i'm at work, but it was a red 1988 Mazda RX-7 convertible/5-speed. It was a 2 owner car, garage kept, and only had 62,000 miles on it upon me taking ownership of it. I drove it around for about 4 years or so, poured alot of money into it, and upon me selling it, it had 99,xxx on it. Sold it for next to nothing and have been kicking myself ever since.

1990 Mazda 929 (Pic is not of mine)
Had a 190hp DOHC 3.0 L V6 and I riced the fuck out of it. Put some chery bombs on for exhaust (sounded like dog shit), heated the springs with a torch to drop it, had some MTX's in the back. Bought it for $1000 with 185k miles. Alternator died when it had 275k miles and I decided to just junk the car.

Re: 1st car?
1992 Geo Storm Given to me by my aunt
NOT ACTUAL PICTURE
it was the 1.6 base model version but i ran into the back of someone 2 weeks into owning it and ended up getting the front end, side skirts, rear spoiler, wheels, and rear bumper off of a GSI (1.8l) model they had at the junkyard. so mine looked pretty much like this one but metallic blue and with stock wheels. i had fun in that car.

Re: 1st car?
1991 Pontiac Bonneville - Dad bought it from his company as it was the company's car. I got T-boned in it at 179K miles. It ate 1 alternator per year but it had a lifetime warranty model after the second one was installed. Transmission slammed going from park to drive but other than that it was a tank. I got hit 4 times in high school parking lot (Freeman) and you couldn't really tell. All the other drivers that hit me had damage.
My car was identical to this but had burgundy interior as well... those notorious metal GM seatbelts would burn you but it had the old ac refrigerant in it and could freeze things in less than 3 minutes. Best part: bench front seat.

When I was 16 I inherited my older sibling's 88 tbird v6, abused the hell out of it.
year later bought my first car, a 80 280zx for $450. i learned how to drive stick shift on it.

1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham
It had a ridiculous sound system and tinted windows (all by me). Had only 90k when it overheated and warped the block
. Car was in MINT condition from an old lady. It only overheated b/c I let my brother drive it and the thermostat blew on him. I didn't know that at the time, so I just replaced the main coolant hose from the radiator and thought it was good. Well, it wasn't.
Fuck I miss that car.
