1996 (or was it 97?) Subaru Impreza Brighton wagon. Car was as stock as you can get, with 360k done on the car. Bought it for $800 to learn stick and well, own a car! Thing ran like a tank (did smell a lot like coolant though because the top of the overflow bottle had holes in it (dunno why). Had a really good clutch (amazingly) and the weirdest transmission ever. You could shift w.o the clutch VERY easily (I sometimes forgot to push it down or would be lazy and would end up shifting). Only problem is it's engine was crap (104hp iirc) and could barely get up hills (stuck at 2km/h acceleration in second gear) but still was a great car imo.

First car was a 1962 Plymouth Belvedere.
Slant-Six engine, and push-button gears!



Next was a 1968 Datsun 510 4-door



Then came the Gremlin



Then I grew up a little and got a real car:



The FD came about 25 years later LOL!

My first car was a Dodge Colt that I picked up for $200. I drove it all over the place with no lic or insurance. I borrowed a friends parents plates when they went on vacation (I guess that's not borrowing then).
Besides the above I did many other stupid things in the car. It finally met its maker on a dark and drunk night. I took it to the wreckers and got $50 for it.

First legal vehicle was a Mazda B2000 pickup truck.
