What was your first car?

So I wanted to post a picture of my car and I have never posted a picture before. I went and read the instructions, found a picture, stored in on my PC, went to tinypic.com as suggested, tried to up load it - I get a message "This IP address has been blocked for violating our terms of use"... What the heck. I have never been on the site before. Any suggestions?
 
All this mustang love is givin me mad #feels. Sent an email to my dad to see what's up with the Mustang; might need to try to bring her home one of these days.

Every time I pass a nice one on the road I sigh a little bit. My wife has been trying to talk me into buying another one. Just haven't decided that I wanted to do it yet.
 
'92 Chevy Beretta I bought my senior year in high school for $980

1970 Mercury Cougar XR7 with a 351 cubic inch 4 barrel carburetor. Its a miracle I'm still alive.

Dad said he's going to keep it until he can fix it up. If I hadn't just bought a 3rd car I might try to get it back from him. At least it's going to stay in the family for the foreseeable future.

Dad's got a '67 Chevelle SS that he's had taken apart since 1979. Once I get the $$, I'm going to buy it from him and rebuild it. Similar to this one pictured, but with a black vinyl top.

White 1995 Mitsubishi Galant with 220k miles. The timing belt broke resulting in an untimely death. I then switched to a black Ford Focus ZX3. The previous owner had spray painted the rims black. It was so ghetto in hindsight but I loved it.

Soph year I was driving my car up to NYC (against the express instructions of my parents) to see this girl I was dating. The timing belt broke on the NJ Turnpike just before a toll booth. It was a mess. Fucked up some of the cylinders and cost like $2500 or something to fix (money I didn't have). So when I finally got back to Wake sans car (I couldn't pay so it was just sitting at an auto shop in Bergen County and I had a nice greyhound ride home), my roommate offered to put it on his card and I paid him off over time. About 6 months later my parents figured it was time to have the timing belt changed and took it to a shop who said "yep, it needs to be changed". They paid the money to have it "fixed" and I didn't say a word. I told them later though.
 
'65 VW Beetle. Took it to WF for my senior year and it was totalled 1 night in Dec coming back from a hockey game in Greensboro when some a--hole failed to yield and clobbered me on the driver's side a few miles from campus. Lucky to not have been seriously hurt - on crutches for a week or so. Still have the sad pics.....:(
 
Let's see if this works - first attempt.

1975 Porsche 914 2.0 - green. I remember the green being deeper - but this is pretty much what it looked like. Had it on campus for the first year, in case anyone remembers seeing it...
