    Default First Cars

    I've noticed a lot of threads where people have VE's and V6's for their first cars.

    Was i deprived? My first car was a 1990 Nissan Micra. It had a 0.9l engine, 4 gears, 1 wing mirror (it's wasn't missing one, it only came with one as new), 1 speaker and only radio.

    It looked just like this (except below has the luxury of 2 wing mirrors) -


    To be fair though it only cost me £250 and lasted me about 12 months. What was your first car, was anyone's worse than mine?

    I did search and all i got was people asking advice on getting their first car, people showing off their said VE / V6 first car and people saying they crashed their first car.

    Not really the same.

    Haha seems alot of people are getting ve's now but hey times change blah blah blah blah . My parents used to say" I couldn't afford a car I had to borrow my dads".I as an apprentice (started at 15) rode my pushie until I got my p's. Shortly after I bought a 97 hilux. Which was my baby for a couple of years and I moved away from 4wd's and into commodores.

    Sorry for the crap pic don't have many.

    my first car was going to be one of these, but my folks decided it was too dangerous because it wasnt fast enough. go figure.

    My 1995 VS Berlina was my first car, still have it, just can't drive it while i'm on my P-Plates because I fitted a supercharged V6.

    Picture in sig.

    First ever car was my dads Kingswood; Is now a project ( I never drove it on the road )
    My first ever driven car was a VN commodore that I bought from my Uncle for $300, spent $1000 to get it running after damaging the fuel tank trying to fix the fuel pump. Had low compression in one cylinder, Had 4 different tyres. Sold it for $900 shortly after to make way for my VR.
    since then I heard how it was doin 'twinies' with ease.. and even coped a speeding fine. they sold it.. and everytime I saw it.. it was at the police station with defect notices... saw it 3 different times.. before it disappeared..

    well my first car was actually a pretty tidy VL, then i destroyed it with all the usual young dumb car mods, now that i look back on it its pretty embarrasing haha,
    but was an Auto N/A RB30, had extractors and a single 2.5in catback, minispool and it actually went alright for what it was, 2nd gear burnouts on limiter with ease lol

    but the shell was rough, the rear gaurds were pressure packed with touch up paint from belt slap, numberplate was mounted off to the side for awesome "hectikness bro" ;-) and a cheap autobahn bonnet scoop lol... glad i got some class and actually learn how to make a car look good, but it was good for a thrasher.

    there's actually a thread on here for it somewhere, back from 2005

    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
