OT What was your first car?

Started driving in 1971 bought a 1961 VW Beetle, lasted 6 weeks before squishing it, next was 1963 VW Beetle, 1971 Chevelle, (drove it for 12 years) then took a vacation in Germany (1984) and been driving BMWs ever since - '79 320i, '85 325e, '85 528e, and the present '93 525i.

Mine was a 64' Karmann Ghia. I loved that car but my drums wouldn't fit in it so I sold it for a Toyota pickup . I knew I would eventually go back to a German made car.

My first was a Saab three cyl 2 stroke, (called it my Thalidimide Porsche),,,GD thing would sometimes start backwards,,so that reverse was 1st gear. The seats were torn to sh*t, and all the seat stuffing would come out and stick to you,,,getting out of the car, id look like a flocked christmas tree.
(for the benefit of younger ones here,,,Thalidimide was an old medication given for infertility,,that was notorious for causing ghastly birth defects,,,like being born with only one really short leg, and no arms. Kinda what those old Saabs looked like (newer ones too, for that matter)
