Most likely a used VW Jetta. My cousin works at a VW dealer.

The car I have now (Which is my 1st) is a Grand Dan 2003. I love it, it's needed over $1000 worth of fixing up, and still has a bit more repairing needed, but, all in all, I like it. It's nice braking and accelerating wise, has a nice stereo system, nice seats, easy to drive, ect.

I will be given the opportunity to buy my fathers 1997 Oldsmobile 88LS for half of the KBB value upon my turning 16 in two years and 11 days. It looks exactly like the car in the pic. (Slightly less squashed) The air conditioning is not functional.

My mother had a 1996 LSS when I was little. It lasted quite a while until the plastic engine caught fire, I hope to get one of those as my first.

And now nearly a year later, as my mother has decided that she will buy me a car, I'll be getting something slightly newer than that, probably an '02 or newer small-ish car.

I have plans on getting my permit soon, and I am probably going to get a Volkswagen Bus, 1975.

I've never had my own car. And right now I don't need one, since almost everywhere I go is either on campus or within walking/biking distance.

I wish I had a bicycle.

My first car was a black '91 Acura Integra, but I don't know if that would count, as I never really got to drive it before my dad somehow managed to melt the engine.

I now have a red '04 Toyota Camry and love it. It does what I need it to, has ac and a working radio/cd/tape player.

I was looking for a car since December (not a lot of cars in the middle of nowhere), and finally bought my first car about a month ago. it's a white 1993 Ford Escort GT, and standard. Considering it's as old as I am, it's in pretty good shape, and I'd post a pic, but dunno how. And cool kid I am, I recently bought racing seat covers, fuzzy dice, and chrome letters spelling CAM, which I've put on both doors.

Either a Honda Civic, Accord, or a Volkswagen Golf. Ideally, I would like to have a Honda Ridgeline or some other small pickup truck but they are expensive. With gas prices going up like crazy I'm starting to wonder if I ever will get a car. Maybe I'll have to wait another year or two and then get a hybrid or something extremely fuel efficient.
