OT (sort of): what was your very first car; your first Porsche??

You could also name your very first P-car. First car: a 1979 Datsun "King cab" P.O.S. First Porsche: 1988 944 Turbo Best Porsche (so far): 1988 944 Turbo S (miss that car)

1969 912 - rustbucket - fits both catagories actually in defense to the 912 - i totally restored it and made a lot of mistakes typical in a 1st restoration great car - got lots of attention from the oppsite sex (perfect for High school )

First Car, volvo 760 Turbo wagon. Pretty light rear wheel drive car with a turbo. I was the third generation in my family to get the car. Sister finished it off, thankfully she was driving a Volvo... First Porsche and also my current car, 2001 996 C4

First car: 1984 Ford Tempo (ok, I"m gonna go do couple of shots of the closest tequila on hand for even admitting that on Rennlist) First p-car: 2001 C2

Hahahahaha ( I can laugh at this )

1st car - Ford Fiesta XR2 1st Porsche - 996 C2 Koeing

1st car - '87 Honda Civic. Long story short: my senile grandfather(~78) married a 32 year old mexican nurse. We convinced him (& her) that a prenup was needed. However, she outsmarted us and him by having him buy tons of houses, cars & jewelry and put it in her name ONLY. They divorced 2 yrs later and he was broke - which was saying something since he was world renowned Orthopaedist. Anyway, the day after the wedding he bought her a Mercedes and she wanted to do something nice so she sold me her Honda Civic for $500. It was a great car until something snapped on the freeway and I ended up flipping it off of loop 610 in Houston. Seatbelt saved me! 1st Porsche July 10, 2003 bought an '03 Boxster S

My first P-car was a 1977 924. It was a total piece of crap! Everything that could go wrong went wrong. I did all my own maintenance-I loved it!

First car: 1961 Austin Healey Sprite (in 1965) First p-car: new 1993 RS America Long wait for the p-car I always wanted!

Mine was a '69 Fiat 850 coupe. Paid $280 "as is" from a dealer in Buffalo. I loved that car(really, it was cool). Took it home and bondo-ed it all over. In winter, you'd pull a little throttle cable to hold the pedal down and go have coffee while each of the four cylinders came on line. Heater core failed and gave me a hotfoot. Alas, it died when a pothole swallowed the right front wheel and the rust holding the front suspension on gave it up. Looked like this one except a lot rustier. First P-Car: 2004 996

First car: 1964 Mercury Comet First Porsche: 1999 Carrera

First car: 1974 Chevy Vega GT hatchback. Bright racing orange w/black stripes and white letter tires Wore the wheel bearings out in year one. By year two, it was 'fill 'er up and a quart of oil' every week. Blast of a party car for a teen though. First Porsche: 1999 C2 Cabriolet, Guards/Beige/Black. Wanted this car/combo for years, drove a '97 at Champion a couple of times, drove one here in Charlotte, then ordered the '99 when the 996 body style rolled out. Now: '04 C4S Cab. Yeah, life is good.

1st car - 1963 Chevrolet Corvair (at least it had the engine in the rear!) 1st Porsche - 2004 996 C2

I had a 1969 912 as well - red with lots of rust. I spent most of my late teens dollars on that car. Right front A arm broke in half due to rust - it took me 3 weeks to fix because I had to drill out the ball joint bolts when then broke off in the repair. Two weeks after that, the left front A arm did the same thing and.... you guessed it, those bolts broke off too. This only took a week and a half since I was now really good at the drill out job. Then to top it off, both arms fell through the floor pan! I had a steel plate welded across the whole front end to hold it all together. And those are just the highlights. After that, I swore off Porsches until last spring, 25 or so years later when I picked up a 2002 C4 Cab. I don't know what I was thinking... Wish me luck!

1979 Dodge Duster. Could not kill that car. It was a three time hand-me-down. First Porsche - 1983 944 Current - 1979 911SC Targa Near Future - 1999 996 Cab Favorite Porsche - Has not been built yet!

First care - 1972 Pinto, yes, the exploding Pinto. To top it all off, brakelights did not work, and I couldnt afford the $90 brake light switch. Nice... an exploding car with no brake lights We are only imortal for a limited time (Rush lyric). First P-car - 1978 SC, and those brake lights worked..

First car- My dad's hand-me-down 1946 Chrysler Royal with a Spitfire six and fluid drive. But, I was sixteen and it might as well have been a Rolls Royce. ...memories.

Nick, I know the exact feeling. My 72 Nova (means "no go" in Spanish) was a red four door, but had the same lame in-line 6 dieseling pos. Did you have that wonderful two-speed automatic? Totalled mine. (Trivia point: Chevy relaunched the Nova as a rebadged Corolla in the late '80's. Sales were horrible -- they did some research and discovered that the Nova had the 2nd-worst name recognition of all time, after the Edsel. Not sure why the "unsafe at any speed" Corvair wasn't in there). 2nd car: Fiat X1-9. Bought used and barely working as a fixer-upper. The car vanquished me. On one road trip, got all the way to LA and half-way back (blew a head gasket). 3rd car: '72 Volvo sedan. Slower than the Chevy and the Fiat, if that's possible. 4th car: '86 Subaru wagon (do you see a trend here?) 1st car with more than 125 horsepower: 95 Volvo Turbo (222 horsepower, whee!) 1st Porsche: '01 C2. I think I deserve it after all the other ones above.

Another 70s Vega owner: 1973 silver one, a rusty leaky piece of crap. I've still got my first Porsche (the SC) as well as all the others I've owned.

I had a '52 XK120 Roadster, metallic gold with wire wheels. What a chic catcher ( I won't talk about the electrics - let legends live in peace).

My first car was a '78 'Vette. (..ok, Chevette.. ) My first Porsche was an '88 944 n/a. I owned it for just over five years. Over the next five years, I went through a '72 911T, a '73 911T parts car, an '84 911 Turbo Look, a '99 Boxster (blue), an '88 911 Carrera, and now another '99 Boxster. But it will probably go up for sale this spring/summer so I can try something else! Can't really say which is my favorite Pcar. For some reasons, the '88 911. For others, the '72 911. For best overall car, the '99 Boxster(s). But I've thoroughly enjoyed them all.
