My 94 b4000. Paid real little because of a burnt transmission and that became my first mechanical adventure.

First car I ever purchased was a 1996 Mustang Cobra in 1998, right after I got back from my first deployment. I put 46k miles on that car in 14 months LOL. Prior to that, all I had was a 1992 GSXR-750 with a 916 kit in it that I had my buddy ride from Indiana to my A-school in Orlando, and then I rode it from Orlando to Norfolk when I moved to the GW in August of '96. I miss those simple days.
1971 Plymouth Duster with a 225 slant 6. If they still built them like that car I'd still be a Mopar Man. Car was as slow as it was reliable, which was very.
First car purchase after i got out of the Air Force (1970) was a 1967 Dodge Coronet D500 2 door hardtop. .

1982 Ford EXP. 70hp of lean machine that insurance companies considered a "sports car" because it was a two seater. Terrible car, but no back seat gave me plenty of room for a lot of speakers.
2006 Camry SE V6
Got it September of '15 with 48k on it, now has 146k on it
Still my daily driver, still does everything I want it to do
Even better now that after an accident 10 months ago, the bumper and exhaust are finally correct

First car I bought brand new, 73 Vega. Surprisingly I put 40k miles on it with no problems at all. Bought a new 74 Camaro to replace it when the 75s were coming out.
1985 1.8L Pontiac Sunbird
65 Impala $300
'74 CJ-5
My dad sold it to me at deal of a price as my high school graduation present in 1979.
I'm thinking it was $1500 - $1600. Basically, most of what I had in savings.
I was very happy although had been driving as "almost" mine for a while before then.
It had the snow plow suspension and handled like a Donkey on crack.
Yes, I got into a few scrapes and trouble.

1961 Austin Healy Sprite. Basket case. Spent 3 months putting it back together and on the road. Bought it in the summer of 1966.
