My first car :D

Nice

Vitara pops up as a choice for my next car, but I'd prefer the Samurai. Can't affford a Landrover and I'm not paying more than €500 for a car thats not 4x4. These Suzuki's are more than capable of going places where a muscle car would die

I'd have loved an SJ but these things are second best and it was too good a deal not to take

However Defender 90s will always be my fav 4x4, with the exception of maybe UAZ 469s, but they're rarer than rocking horse sh*t

What counts as first car. First you buy or first your parents let you drive?

Both, in their own ways. The first car you drive is remembered forever. But then, so is the first one that's truly your own.

ajrimmer, I have an 03 Suzuki XL7, it has 151,000 miles and has been virtually trouble free. A Great Car, I hope yours brings you the same experience.

I recently acquired a 1986 Chrysler Lebaron from my dad in November. I've put about....4,000 miles on it at least, but man, that car is all class, washed and detailed, it would look like it just rolled off the line. It's not falling apart like the other ones I've seen around here.
Which reminds me that I'm due for an oil change.

(EDIT: This is relevant because the car is registered in my name, and I bought and I pay the insurance on it, I buy the gas, and everything else it needs, and never before have I been so happy to be responsible for something!)

Old cars are fun.

@OP: Neat car, I hope you enjoy it.

I could probably barely fit in it though.
