my first car was a 1973 dodge dart I got this car in 1988 and it only had 40,000 miles on it. Was in wonderful condition. Not quite the Fast and Furious caliber ;) But a really nice memory to say the least :)
Linda J. Sep 12, 2009, 8:17pm EDT
my first car was 1973 as well. it was a ford pinto. it was a bit fast, as I got a speeding ticket in it! it vibrated me to pieces when I tried to go fast in it though.
Kristina P. Sep 10, 2009, 10:32am EDT
My first car was a 2 door, maroon Chevette that should have been let for dead in the junk yard. It had no radio and barely held 2 people. That was my college car. Wahoo!!
jenn g. Sep 10, 2009, 10:42am EDT
i had a 1984 mustang. my first 6 cylinder car and i LOVED her. she had a name and everything :)

my first car should have been left in the junk yard. none of the gages worked.. i had pink fuzzed it all out and it still didnt help it.
DiAnA D. Sep 10, 2009, 10:52am EDT
i had a Mazda RX7.. when i had my son i had to get rid of it!! It was fast.. don't tell anyone.. but once i outran the cops in St. Louis!
Shannon W Sep 10, 2009, 11:05am EDT
It was better off left in a junkyard! lol. I got it when I was 18/19. My grandparents warned me not to take it out of town until it could be checked out better. Well a good friend of mine came to visit from out of town and I let myself be talked into going to Disneyland for the day. On the way over the grapevine, the car started having problems. A man stopped to help us and told us that we should take it to a mechanic. So instead we went to Disneyland, came home in the middle of the night where it died and we were stuck in a town we didn't know until my grandfather came and rescued us. The car never ran again for us ended up selling it to my dad. Not sure if he ever got it to run or not. We were young and naive and the quest for an adventure won over. I think that we didn't really think the car was that bad. Live and learn!
.* Sandi * Sep 10, 2009, 11:13am EDT
my first car was a 1978 Datsun, Hatch back, clutch
We took it for regular checkups and oil changes and all.
It lasted for ever, We drove thru the salt mines and what finished the car 10 years later was it was rotting in strange places, we had holes on the floor of the car, could see out underneath, and other parts of the car that our mechanic said he never sees rot away, was. Hated to get rid of it. But the seat was gonna fall out soon lol
Kat W. Sep 10, 2009, 11:44am EDT
My first car was a 1979 Plymouth Grand Fury. It was a tank and used a lot of gas but it was a dependable car. I drove it for about a year and traded it in for a Monte Carlo with T-tops, lol!
Cynthia J. Sep 10, 2009, 11:46am EDT
My first car was a tan/gold 1978 Trans Am. Fast and Furious for that time!! I loved that car!!
Lori A Sep 10, 2009, 11:56am EDT
Oh darn and here I am I never learned to drive lol I was a passenger in a lot of cool fast cars though my favorite was a mustang 1969 that belonged to a boyfriend back in 1976 lol I would still love to win the car wash set though lol
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Sep 10, 2009, 12:06pm EDT
was your first car of a fast and furious caliber, or was it better left in the junkyard?:
My first car was a lemon a Mercury Sable - ugh so glad that thing is long gone!
brittany c. Sep 10, 2009, 12:57pm EDT
My first car was a 1997 Nissan SE-R and I loved it! It was dark green and had a sun roof. I got it used for a couple thousand that I'd been saving up with. Then my husband got a bright idea for us to trade it in for the car I have now - 2006 Lancer and it ended up hurting us more, because now we owe more since they rolled the rest of the payment owed on the Nissan into the Lancer's payment.. even though they said they wouldn't. It was supposed to be like some kind of deal.. oh well! Never trust a car salesman lol.
Mary G. Sep 10, 2009, 1:36pm EDT
My first car should have been left in the junk yard; however, everyone knew where to get parts for a VW. 1960's VW's were really a cool car, but mine was redone by my brother. He gave it a cool paint job with peace signs. Its a shame I don't have photos.
Bridget ♥ Sep 10, 2009, 1:37pm EDT
My first car was a VW too!
Bridget ♥ Sep 10, 2009, 1:38pm EDT
My first car was a Volkswagon Bug - BRIGHT ORANGE! It had a sun roof which was pretty cool! You would ROAST in the summer and FREEZE in the winter in that car! LOL! But, I was the only one of my friends who had their own car, so it worked for me!
Ashley M. Sep 10, 2009, 2:40pm EDT
I still drive my first car. I have had it for four years now. It is a 1995 Mercury Cougar. It is definitely fast....far too easy to creep up to high speeds unwittingly.
Rachel W. Sep 10, 2009, 2:40pm EDT
My first car was a Dodge Omni that I paid $1500.00 for. I can't remember what year it was 1980 something. When the previous owner had it it won first place in the National something Sound competition. It had been completely ripped apart and speakers and amps and I don't know what else were installed in it. Needles to say, when I got it, there were wires wires everywhere but no radio or speakers were left in it.
It had also been spray bombed midnight blue with no clear coat added to keep the paint from bleeding. Everytime you touched the car you turned blue.
It had to have the alternator replaced 2 or 3 times, a new battery, a new relay switch and finally got totaled while I sat at a red light on my way home from work one day. It was raining and the other driver slid, she panicked and slammed on the breaks. It made her slide more and she went over the median, hit the car in front of me, bounced off of that car and hit me.
Definitely not Fast and Furious caliber. It was better left in a junkyard.
My first car was a gift from my older brother who was more like a father figure to me. It was a loud green volvo station wagon with a luggage rack on top. It served me well for about a year or so, before it died and then needed to be in the junkyard for sure. It wasn't the prettiest and definitely not the fastest, but it was all mine. I would love a car wash kit. Thanks.
Sassy ... the calm and cool Cat Sep 10, 2009, 5:07pm EDT
My first car was a lemon.....a Ford LTD II
R B Sep 10, 2009, 6:16pm EDT
At 15, anything that ran was fine. If I wash it with your kit, will mine become fast & furious?
Teresa W. Sep 10, 2009, 6:32pm EDT
My first car was an Opal and it was not quite ready for the junkyard but neither was it fast or furious! It was mostly slow and steady, like old reliable. And it was green.
carolyn b. Sep 10, 2009, 6:36pm EDT
My first car should have been left in the junk yard, I had a 1984 Mazda
Brooke S. Sep 10, 2009, 9:02pm EDT
my first car was ugly.... very ugly, but definitely fast and furious. it was a 1984 Ford LTD (ok, I know, sounds awful, but bear with me!) :P

it was previously a cop car, so it had a roll bar stabilizing weight on the engine that allowed it to take corners at ridiculous speeds. i used to let my boyfriend take it to drag race and he always won!! i remember going out on a straight stretch one time and passing 8 cars, and by the time i settled back into my own lane i was doing 122 mph. woah! that reminds me, i need to ask my dad why he ever thought that vehicle would be suitable for a 16 year old who wasn't afraid of anything! LOL
Tara C. Sep 10, 2009, 10:13pm EDT
My first car was a Ford F-100. This is still my favorite vehicle. I am currently restoring it again. An eletrical problem is the reason for this restoration. Many people might think it was better left in a junkyard, but I personally don't. This was the last thing that my dad and I did as a project together before he became ill and had been in the nursing home.
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Sep 10, 2009, 10:18pm EDT
my 1st was a lynx.. It was really better of in the junkyard. It was a 1983
Jenn P. Sep 10, 2009, 10:49pm EDT
My first car of a fast and furious caliber.. it was a 93 mustang..but the one that they didnt make a lot of. it was nice.. it was yellow with a black top and chrome rims. and black leather seats
Vikki M. Sep 10, 2009, 11:01pm EDT
My first car was an 85 Ford Tempo. Not exactly a fast and furious car, but I loved it and would say it didn't belong in the junkyard even with its dings and dents.
Nichole S. Sep 10, 2009, 11:32pm EDT
haha mine belonged in a junkyard! Well at least to a 16 year old it did an ugly maroon boat that they called an '88 cutlass supreme! Was in great shape as an old couple owned it and hardly drove it but man was it ugly................
Shawnee G. Sep 11, 2009, 12:30am EDT
My real first car was a Colt... it was little, tan, and UGLY. It also did not really run well. I was 15 and I personally never once drove it.
I owned about 4 cars before I was legal to drive, and I never drove any of them. There was the Colt, a Sentra, a Ranchero, a CRX. Most of them belonged to boyfriends, but my name was on them as well. The CRX I ended up keeping and driving after I got my licence at 21.
Kimberli T. Sep 11, 2009, 6:08am EDT
My very first car made the trip from Missouri to Texas... and never made it farthure than that because it was a junkyard beauty! LoL! It was my grandpa's car. But, the first car I actually drove was a 1988 Chevy Corsica. Sure, okay so it's not really fast and furious material, but I felt so cool driving it! It was a smallish sedan style and the gear shift was in the center between the seats, so it felt like it was a stick shift even though it wasn't. I drove that car into the ground in a matter of 2 years! I thought I'd gotten good use out of that car until I got my second car that I've actually driven. It was a 1996 buick regal. And it actually had a CD player in it! How awesome is that? Haha. I drove that car for 5 years and it topped out at 174,000 + miles. Not bad really. It's sitting on the side of the road as a type this and I'm feverishly looking for my next car. But, I don't think I'll get a really cool car until next year or later... deffinatly have to wait till I finish school!
Ellie W. Sep 11, 2009, 12:41pm EDT
It wasn't bad. A Volvo with cow print seat covers. I wasn't about to drag race with it though.
April H. Sep 11, 2009, 1:14pm EDT
Was your first car of a fast and furious caliber, or was it better left in the junkyard? I loved my first car which my grandmother gave to me; it was a 1960 4 Door Station Wagon but it probably should have been left in the junkyard. But it got me where I needed to go, and since I was selling at Flea MArkets to make extra cash it hauled all of my merchandise too.
☀ Aunt Shanny Sep 11, 2009, 1:20pm EDT
My first few cars were hand me downs from my parents. I had everything from a Cadillac Sedan de Ville (which was the hit of my high school, I could fit more people in it than anyone else) to a Buick Century with a shot master cylinder to a Mercury Marquis complete with an 8 track player.

It was always a good time, whatever it was!
Christina L. Sep 11, 2009, 5:05pm EDT
My first car was a 1976 pea-green 2-door Volvo sedan. It was definitely unique! No one else had a car the same color, LOL. It lasted me through high school though.
Kim K. Sep 11, 2009, 5:37pm EDT
My first car was a 65 Mustang. I really wish I still had this classic today. My son would have liked to have driven it. It wasn't fast and furious, but got me where I needed to go.
Tracy F. Sep 12, 2009, 7:26am EDT
First car was a 99 Honda Accord... and we still have it and it still runs perfectly!
John S. (arizona) Sep 12, 2009, 12:51pm EDT
My first "Fast & Furious" type car was a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am in chestnut brown...
It had a big motor, loaded with everything, T-tops, you name it. Boy was it fun to drive, and could really move out... ha ha.
I miss it *sigh*... ;-)
Justin Reid Sep 12, 2009, 1:49pm EDT
My first car was a 1995 ford contour. I bought it for 350 bucks. So im sure you all can guess how this car worked out for me... It was a ticking time bomb! I would fix one thing then the next would die a day later.
Donna S. Sep 13, 2009, 11:53am EDT
My first car was a 1970something Dodge Dart-I got the car in 1990. Not fast OR furious but ran like a champ!!
Lesli B. Sep 13, 2009, 12:47pm EDT
My first car was a 1977 VW rabbit. NOT Fast and Furious material. Since then I've had a few fast cars. I got into the drag racing scene. I currently have 3 drag cars in various stages of raceable.
My first car was a 1984 Sunbird, which I loved, but which was definitely NOT Fast & The Furious material.
Patti M. Sep 13, 2009, 11:38pm EDT
My first car was our 1968 midnight blue GTO. 400cubic inch 375 horse. Larry took it out to see what it would do. The cops caught him in a speed trap but couldn't clock him he buried the needle.
j - Frugal Mom - r. Sep 14, 2009, 7:54am EDT
What a great prize!

For a chance to win a Fast & Furious car wash kit, tell us, was your first car of a fast and furious caliber, or was it better left in the junkyard?

I thought it was fast, but everyone but my dad and I thought my old Daihatsu belonged in the junk yard. It was a fantastic car though, and it sure took me many interesting place.

Whenever we needed knew pieces for it, my dad always went to the junkyard to find them:)
Rose H. Sep 14, 2009, 9:05am EDT
My first car was a 1965 Mustang. I loved it!

It was definitely fast and furious - a fun ride! The color was that typical Ford orangey/red. We traded it in for a new Toyota, which was economical, but neither fun nor fast or furious - boring, but reliable transportation was more like it.
April H. Sep 14, 2009, 10:49am EDT
My first car was a Dodge Aries K-car, definitely not fast and furious!
It did get me from point A to point B though, and for that I am grateful.
Janet "Jax" B. Sep 14, 2009, 12:20pm EDT
I actually didn't have a car. I had an S-10 Pick-up with a manual transmission. It had less than 100 miles on it when my parents dropped it off to me at college. I loved that truck, and since it was manual, my friends never asked to borrow it.

And yes, I could get it fast and furious if I wanted too.....
Michelle S. Sep 14, 2009, 2:26pm EDT
my first car was a 67 chevy impala. i could have been a muscle car if i'd thought about it. but at 18, going off to college; i just wanted transportation!! i'd love to have that car back & give it a good makeover. :)
Jan Perry Sep 14, 2009, 4:49pm EDT
My first love was a Kharman Ghia, bright blue and a classey little number to bomb around in! I felt soooooo coooooool!!! Only problem was that other drivers were so busy looking I was hit about 4 times!!! I was so sad to let her go, but talked to the new owner recently (after 30 years!!) and she's still going. Wow, she's an elderly lady now as she was about a '65 I think.
Mari H. Sep 14, 2009, 6:02pm EDT
My first car was a '69 Javelin-white with red racing stripes...That model & the manufacturer (AMC) went defunct eons ago, but I LOVED THAT CAR!!!
Jan S. Sep 14, 2009, 6:36pm EDT
My first car was a four door '62 Buick LeSabre. It was huge and I could fit lots of friends in it. The front passenger door had to be opened from the inside, it had a coat-hanger hand choke, and the body was more rust than white, but it ran like a champ.

Eventually, I upgraded to a "fast and furious" '72 Pontiac Firebird. That car did not have a slow speed!
Brian H. Sep 15, 2009, 11:14am EDT
My first car was better left for the junkyard - my dad and I spent a summer rebuilding it, and then it was more fast and furious!
karen h. Sep 15, 2009, 11:30pm EDT
my first car wasnt actually a car at all I had a 1976 ford 4x4 it was a mini monster truck baby blue with a roll bar and duel exhaust and in the back glass hung a sign that said

" SILLY COWBOY'S TRUCKS ARE FOR CHICKS "

When my daughter turned 16 I passed it down to her and she still has it to this day she is now 30 and on her daughter's , my grand daughters 16 th B-day she will get that truck

Our baby is a classic and we will never part with her

Greetings Stephaine:
The only car that i have ever had was a 1988 Honda Prelude Si , two doo sports car. The color was Milano Red, with a two barrel carberateur. Pretty swift & nimble car. I remeber one time that i was on the freeway going about 75 miles per hour & I moved into the fast lane (extreme left) all of a sudden the car automatically did 180 degree spin right in the middle of heavy traffic.

Lets just say that it was an unforgettable moment in my young life. Kept the car for three years then suddenly it was towed away. I was never able to retreive it cack from the tow yard. Honda had made som really nice sports cars in the late 80ies & ealy 90ies.

Sincerely Yours
Lacie
Mary M. Sep 17, 2009, 2:47pm EDT
I got my license a little late. My first car was a minivan! Sturdy and reliable, and I proved it to be all-terrain, but definitely not fast and furious.
Nancy * Sep 17, 2009, 3:58pm EDT
My first car the very first I owned by myself was a beat-up old Nessan. My very first brand-new off the lot car was my current piece of love affair... and 2004 birght YELLOW Pontiac Sunfire. It may not be as fast as most, but I think it's a good thing it don't have a stick, cause I would be pretending to be racing if it did.

The guy who taught me to drive a stick, allowed me to drive his car on many occassions by myself alone. And OMG!!! It was a yellow Mitsubishi 5000GT (drool) and ohboy did that thing go fast!!
Elizabeth S. Sep 17, 2009, 4:34pm EDT
The first car I drove at all was a horrible clunker Ford from the 50s. Fortunately, within a couple of months my mom bought a new 69 Mustang. It was yellow and fast. I never had the nerve to see how fast it could go, but cranked it up past 130 several times.

The first car I bought was a little MG sports car. I loved the manual clutch, manual choke, everything about that car. For some reason, my husband didn't think it was appropriate for a new mother and we sold it.
Dusty Hubbard Sep 17, 2009, 8:30pm EDT
My first car was not too bad, it was a white Chrysler Lebaron Convertible. It was old, but still nice.
Wanda C. Sep 18, 2009, 6:14am EDT
My first car was a 1962 Dodge Lancer with a push button transmission. I paid $600. for it in 1963 and it was a great little car but every time I pushed one button to change gears another one of the buttons would fly off. After a few times my friends started making a joke about me having to drive with a catcher's mitt on. I sold it in 1968 for $650.
Jessica S. Sep 19, 2009, 12:45am EDT
My first car was a 1990 Toyota Camry, rusty all over. Wasn't very pretty, but drove well. But I just sold it and got a 2009 Honda Civic and I love it!!
Shannon R. Sep 19, 2009, 8:21am EDT
LOL I've never actually owned a car I just drive other peoples such as my first car my parents owned and I just drove it. That was in great shape actually it was a really nice car. The vehicle I drive now my father in law gave to my husband but its still under my father in laws insurance and everything which is awesome hehe. That van was not in that great of shape when he gave it to us. But lol its way worse now.

My first car was a black and orange Pinto. Very low to the ground but very enjoyable.
Kylee **Queen of Karaoke** S. Sep 19, 2009, 3:39pm EDT
My first car was a really big and old light blue Ford Tauras. It got me around for a few months before I rear ended a guy.
Kim I. Sep 19, 2009, 9:08pm EDT
My first car was a '72 Toyota Corona, but everyone called it "YOTA" because the "TO" on the back of the car had been broken off. Towards its end, it was basically held together by rust, overheated often, and had no antenna or hub caps (broken off and stolen by this stalker dude).
Cynthia B. Sep 20, 2009, 3:51am EDT
my first car was a cool red Buick skyhawk so it looked fast but mostly won't start which made me furious.
Kristen S. Sep 20, 2009, 10:19pm EDT
I was so thrilled to have a car, I didn't care how cool it was! I thought it was awesome :). It was older, in decent shape, and the previous owner had tinted the back windows a dark purple...
Jodie P. Sep 21, 2009, 12:40pm EDT
My First car was a '94 Dodge Shadow. It was in good shape before I started driving it. After a 4 car pile-up, a run in with a deer and other small crashes it was still a good car it just didn't look like it. My best friend had a car just like mine in high-school ,once I got seen driving around skipping school and told my mom it was her. And got away with skipping school. She did the same thing telling her parents it was me when she was out and about.
First car was a 1954 Chevy. It had a 6 and a 3 speed manual. I got a floor shift conversion for it. It didn't make it any faster but it was more fun to drive. It also fixed the common problem in that model of the column shift linkage popping out of alignment and leaving you stuck between gears. It had the most comfortable driving position of any car I've ever had. Unfortunately it was 10 years old when I got it. That was well beyond the useful lifetime of most cars then. I got a couple of years out of it though.
Julie F. Sep 21, 2009, 5:26pm EDT
My first car was a 1995 Ford Taurus. I bought it new, so it wasn't ready for the junkyard, but it definitely wasn't fast & furious.
Ruth Luce Sep 22, 2009, 8:35am EDT
You certainly can't say that my first car was anything close to fast or furious, but it was mega cute and mega practical!! I hade a 1969 Volkswagon Convertible Bug, Automatic Stick Shift, too cute and just too dang fun! Was very practical as used so little gas and this was during the gas crunch of the 70's. She was metallic dark blue with the black vinyl top and in rainbow letters on the hood of the engine in back I had her named, Lady Bug
Darin Waugh Sep 22, 2009, 5:37pm EDT
My first car was a 1967 Chevy Impala, it was about 30 feet long!!!! I believe it had a 327 small block stock engine, so it could have been "fast and ferious," if I fixed it up. But, I ended up selling it to a guy who had it for a month until he pulled out in front of semi-truck!
Lillian L. Sep 22, 2009, 6:07pm EDT
My first car was really my sister's 1955 Dodge Dart with a standard transmission (which she still has). In 1963 as she was leaving for a two-year stint in the Peace Corps, she tossed me her car keys. I drove it senior year in high school and sophomore year in college (freshmen couldn't have cars on campus) until I got my own 1960 Dodge with the push button automatic transmission. Our first and old new car was a 1969 Oklds Cutlass--fire engine red with black racing stripes, black interior, and mag wheels. I loved that car. Unfortunately, it was totalled when someone rear ended my husband when he was stopped behind a row of cars at a stop light. Big sigh. My dream car, however, is a fully- restored 1957 red Corvette. I always teased my son that his college fund was not his unless he went to college. If he didn't, it was my red Corvette. He is now a graduate student, so it doesn't look like I will get the 'vette (but I'd rather have an educated child than a pretty car--or at least that is what I keep telling myself).
pamela r. Sep 22, 2009, 6:40pm EDT
my first car was not a fast &furious style although I drove it that way.....1988 Chevrolet Celebrity. GOLD!
Lori B. Sep 22, 2009, 6:58pm EDT
My first car was a camaro if i'm not mistaken a 1977 model Turquois color. I drove it like it was fast and furious being a girl i'm sure that was not propper of me but i was in a couple of drag races on some vacant roads which of coarse i'm grown now glad to say i got that all out of me : ) My driving record much improved since then LoL!!

My first car is a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade. Still making payments on it but I love it! It has plenty of storage room and it's safe for my baby to ride in. And, according to my husband, it is definitely fast and furious when he drives it. :)

Yes, my first car was definitely of the Fast and Furious caliber. It was a Chevy Cavalier Z24 with a V6 under the hood, and boy would it zip when you mashed down on the accelerator. Hey, guess what! It still does!!! We still drive that car, and it still zips pretty good for a 20 plus year old car.
My first car was a 76 Chevy Nova Hatchback with a giant V-8 engine and ran on leaded gas. It could go 88 miles per hour without the driver being aware of it. It wasn't pretty by the time I got it, but it could GO!

My first car was a 1965 red mustang convertable, we took payments over from my sister who couldnt afford it anymore, and we LOVED it!

My first fast car? Can't say as I have ever had one....unless you consider Buicks fast. I had a Buick Park Avenue, then a Buick Regal. I just got away from Buicks with a Pontiac G6; I suppose you could say its fast. It is at least faster that the Buicks. I did really want the G8; I drove it. It was so nice!

My first car was a 1978 Dodge Omni ... and it was yellow (a gift). It was a decent car once the issues, recalls, and other "first model year" bugs were worked out (about year 4).

My first car was a 1993 Ford Ranger and I would say it was in between junkyard worthy and Fast and the Furious. I think it was its own category all together

My very first car was a silver custom striped 1969 Pontiac Trans Am. I was only 19, and living in Detroit, which was the capitol of the automobile industry. It was a real muscle car, and guys would always come roaring up next to me on the highway trying to get me to race, until they saw that I was a girl, which for some reason disqualified me. Used to take it to Belle Isle and Palmer Park to show it off to the other motor heads who came there to run ¼ mile races for money and show off for the girls. I got a lot of attention from the racing set with this cool ride. I loved it very much and washed it every week. It was the love of my life. Unfortunately, I did not know that cars needed in addition to gas, to have regular oil changes, and I ended up throwing a rod on the highway one summer evening. I stood by the hood crying until the cops came to call a tow truck and take me home.

My dad loved Lincolns, so he bought one for my first car. I loved that car! But, I was a kid and wish I knew then what I know now so I would have taken better care of it.
