The first car that I paid for with my own money... a green 1970 Chevy Nova 2-door with the 250 c.i. inline-6 motor and manual 3-on-the-tree column shift.  When I left home after high school and joined the Air Force, I shelled out a whoppin $700 for that car.  She was a clean car, straight body (no rust) and original paint job (I was the 3rd owner).  I wouldn't mind finding another early Nova, but geez they are expensive now!

Good ol 1985 Ford escort 2 door auto,  Maybe thats the reason why I am a chev guy now....lol... thanks dad

1989 ford escort 2 door, standard.  :-X Had the electric seat belts that would always try to choke you. Smashed it into a brand new off the lot Honda accord, totaling out both cars. The next week i got a 94 mustang GT 5.0L.This was back in '99, so i was the envy of all the other punks  ;D

My first car was my 1992 Nissan Maxima. I still own it, and there is no car more comfortable for long trips IMO. The lumbar support in those seats is absolutely phenomenal. I someday hope to have a 73-87(91) crew cab or an 84-86 extended cab to stuff a set of those seats into. My second vehicle was my '84 GMC Sierra Classic longbed 2wd. high geared gutless pos..technically, i still have it for part of this spring (i hope anyway, it was sitting at a friends waiting for us to yank the transmission, hitch, exhaust, and rear shocks off of for parts for my '83 shortbed, hopefully he hasn't gotten impatient and scrapped it, since I was supposed to be finished with it last summer.) I also still have my first bike, my '82 Kawasaki KZ550 ltd. Though I still like that bike, I'm finding it harder and harder to get myself motivated to work on it. I've been occasionally drooling over a Ninja 650R to replace it...

You know now that you mention it, i had a friend with an early 90's maxima and we always talked about how comfortable the seats were. Hmm...
