Your first car vs your kids first car

Thats a great first car!

Sport, cool and being a benz safe. A huge factor is only two seats, I'm very glad I had two seats only in my car when I first started driving. I think it's such a big thing. It lessens the chance of an accident dramatically, why? Distracted driving. Having only two seats means less people and less driving, she won't be the one driving to a party or driving around friends because everyone wants to be together and having only one seat just doesn't cut it. + less distractions inside the car as well.
 
Very cool first car!

Mine was 5 year old Chevy Luv truck (really an Isuzu) in yellow, with a flying lady with green wings hood ornament. My dads friend had a used car lot, I bought it from him. It did not take long before it had white spoke wells, bigger tires, and 'roll' bar with KC Hi Liters, and an underdash FM/cassette radio. No AC though.
My sons first car was not much better - it was 2 months older that he was and he paid for it himself! My M-I-L sold him her 1992 Ford Crown Vic. What a great first car! Lots of room for the other members of the basketball team, and built like a tank. He had 2 people hit him in low speed collisions, with barely a scratch on the Vic.
 
wow. sweet ride...

my first car was an 88 Honda accord (forrest green color)
I received it when I was 14 and drove illegally for a year until I could get my hardship permit

I have no children (that I'm aware of :blink:) but I would probably get my child a much nicer car that I was given when/if that day ever comes--I will probably give them a hand me down so I can get something new at the time!
 
my first was a 1953 ford f 100 truck that needed a new engine and 3 speed transmission for $50.00 dollars worked all summer to pay for truck and parts
 
My first car was a 68 Plymouth fury 3. My dad bought it for me for 300. He told me later he wanted me safe and didnt want to be a grandfather.

Was a pretty good babe repellent, but I did manage a hottie despite his efforts :)

It was 1986 and was beat when I got it, here it is in good condition.

I too had a 78 4 door Nova but I bought it myself, daddy didn't buy mine so I had to buy what I could afford. It was 10years old at the time and like $400. My daughter is only 13 so we have a few more years. I too will not be buying her a car. I will probably match what she saves though. I loved that Nova and have had 3 more since then...in different doors configurations.
 
I don't have a kid yet, but I bought my first car when I was 21. A 1999 Mustang GT 5 Speed. I learned how to drive a manual on the 1 hour way home from picking it up.
