In 1985 I got the hand-me-down 1969 VW Beetle (I wish I still had it). My parents bought me a brand new 1986 Ford Escort GT the next year and then in 1991 I traded it in and bought my first car, a brand spanking new metallic black 1992 Honda Civic Si. There are a bunch of cars and trucks between then and 2007 when I finally came full circle with the German car thing and bought a 2001.5 Audi A4, added the 2000 Boxster S in 2012 and bought a 2001.5 Audi S4 last year.

The one thing I learned along the way was that I don't need/want new cars.

Yay! Mine was ER Green, but same car! I loved it.

First car was a 99 Mercury Cougar that my dad bought me when I was a Junior in High School. Had so many problems, ended up selling it months later.

59 vw beetle. I paid 350 bucks for it
