Yup, well at least the first car I bought myself. Just got a '93 last month and am going nuts taking care of the neglect it got from the previous owner. Fortunately, most of the problems are from the age of the car, not serious neglect. My insurance isn't too bad though... 'course, I am 24.

it's my first. I'm 19 and got it about a month and a half ago, one month of which i have spent waiting for the damn mazda dealer to get my windshield in(can't drive it until i get it). I guess that's one of the many prices you pay for owning such a rare, unique automobile

Basically it's my first...Technically my first POS cost $500 and broke down completely after 2 days! Yes, 2 days! That was 1.5 maybe 2 years ago(I'm 19 now). Since then, I've been driving my parents extra car...98 corolla. But the FD...is MINE! So it's my first real car. I just got it a month ago.

IF the ANY RX-7 had existed when I BOUGHT my first car it probably would have been my first
BUT in 1974 there were no RX-7s so my first car was a 1966 Jaguar XK-E FHC That car was way less reliable than my 93FD!
My brother's FIRST car was a NEW off the SHOWROOM FLOOR 1972 RX-2 4door
