Many years ago while discing a field of some rental ground we had an old lady came out and said she had a car in the garage she wanted to sell, a 61 (I believe) Dodge Pioneer and wanted $400 for it, the garage was falling in and the car had not been driven in years. I pulled it out got it running, it had a push button automatic transmission. It was ugly and looked like a cross between a submarine and a space ship! But after changing the fuel filter, new tires and batteries it ran pretty good!
 
I had a tan Dodge Dynasty. I called it the "Die Nasty" because it was tan and boring, but it really didn't have anything wrong with it. Eventually, it started to get rusty on one side after I took it to Cedar Point with me when I worked there. After a few summers of getting sandblasted from the beach side in the parking lot, there wasn't much I could do to prevent that from happening.

I got it stuck in some very deep ruts after attempting to follow a friend's Land Rover through some trails in the woods. I had all four wheels in the air and had to be dragged out. I didn't know much about driving off-road at the time, and my dad basically laughed his rear off when he saw what I had done with the car.

It was also the only car I've ever spun out in. This was on some black ice during a particularly nasty Michigan winter. It was pretty scary and I ended up in a field a few feet from a telephone pole, facing backwards. Somehow I managed to knock the belt off the alternator or something like that, but no one got hurt and the car wasn't damaged. I learned a few choice words from my dad while he forced the belt back where it should be using brute force and a piece of pipe from the pile in the back of his work truck; apparently, it was too cold out for the tensioner (or whatever it is) to allow the belt to be put back in place normally. I know hardly anything about cars.

Both my sister and my brother also drove this car as their first car after I had a chance to destroy it. My brother put blue neons and plastic Wal-mart spinners on the car. It just added to its anti-awesomeness.
 
First car I drove was my parents' 1976 Ford Pinto wagon, yellow green. I swear it glowed in the dark.
First car I owned was a 1981 beige Chevy Chevette. Everything about it was beige. I bought it from my parents for $50.
First new car was a screaming bright red Ford Escort hatchback with a sun/moon roof. I think it was an '89 but I can't for the life of me remember exactly. I got noticed in that car!
