'Ruby' 1991 VN Exec & '98 Proton M21 Coupe
My first was a Mazda Capella. Bought it off a mate for $400. All my own cash and ever since then always has been. Bought a VH for $600 off another friend, swapped the capella for a 91 VN, sold that when it started dying and then bought the VN I have now. There were other cars in between, another VH, Torana, Corolla and a Telstar (bucket of crap that was lol)

My parents bought my first car it was an old Holden HT station wagon.
Dad got the station wagon so if I went out and got drunk I could sleep in the back and not call im to pick me up.
My son is 12 and I have said that I will buy his first car and he will be getting a holden ute.
My parents or my wife and i are not rich but it was something that we can do for our kids.

My parents paid $2000 and i paid the other $1000 for my 94 vr with 155000km, then i paid them back as i earnt it. Bought it about 18months ago and just finished paying it off a few weeks ago, throughout that time have had to borrow more off them to pay for a few small parts (radiator, engine, gearbox lol) its going strong atm :)

18th birthday present - brand new Suzuki Swift three door at a cost of $13000.

I thumped the crap out of that thing for two years then got rid of it for something bigger that I bought myself. Great timing because I started having kids after that.

My first car was a LX Torana hatch back. 3.3 litres of 70's orangeness. Was never stupid enough to ask my parents to pay for it though. You would still hear the laughing now if I had.
