Let's see what everyone grew up with, what your first car was, etc. Bring back some memories.
Here is what my parents had when I was just a weee little one.
My dad had like a early 70's Toyota Corolla or something that looked very similar to this:
We also had a Volvo 240. My dad always complained about the awful, awful seats. (not actual car)
The old white car was ditched and my folks bought a brand new 1989 Mazda MPV (non 4wd): (not actual car)
My folks picked up a brand new Dodge Neon in 1995, which is before it became the beater of choice in the hood: (not actual car)
Then they picked up a brand new 1997 Chrysler Town & Country LXi AWD: (not actual car)
When I was in my mid teenage/slightly later teenage years, my old man picked up a used 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Ext. Cab 4WD 5.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel
(this is me in the picture quite a few years after he bought the truck) This is after I parted out my first car, my 90' Jetta GLi story to come later.
At some point late 90's we picked up a honda civic that looked like this:
My folks also picked up a 1995 Mazda MPV 4WD as they loved the 89' one so much.
In early 2000's, my sister picked up a 1995 (or 96?) golf III 5spd which was basically the GTi in that year. That was her first car.
In early 2000's, I got my first car which was a 1990 VW Jetta GLi 5spd. I ended up parting it out because it was a money pit, as seen in the prior picture. Stuck it in my dad's truck and hauled it off to the recycling plant, got 50 bucks for it.
I had it for sale for 2000 bucks and no one would buy it, which is why I parted it out.
My second car to replace my Jetta was my 1997 VW Passat GLX VR6 5spd
When I got married, my wife had a 1999 Toyota Solara: (not actual car)
We also got a 2003 Nissan Altima (not actual car)
We Got rid of the Solara.
We then got rid of the Altima and now just have our CX-9.
Thats my car history!
