My parents bought it brand new. And drove it forever, then my brother had it for a while, then back to my parents, then it was my sisters. After a few years it became my car. I loved that car. It was a stick shift, had no a/c (which is pretty essential here), and no mirrors (they had fallen off by then...), but it was awesome and I loved it. Then I got into a car accident (not caused by me) and the car was totalled. That was a sad sad day. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-my-first-car-today-what-was-your-first-car/page/2#post-1229366 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:56:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1229366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: congrats, by the way! We only have one car now, but I feel like we might need to get a second in the coming years, especially if we move out to the suburbs. In the city, it's not a huge deal, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-my-first-car-today-what-was-your-first-car/page/2#post-1229365 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:56:10 +0000 mediagirl 1229365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha that's awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-my-first-car-today-what-was-your-first-car/page/2#post-1229358 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:54:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 1229358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had a car that I didn't have to share, but the first car I ever had majority use of was a 1992 Geo.

It was my grandparents and they let me have it for pretty much nothing (paid less than half of what it was worth). Was a great car and probably would have ran forever but we found mice in it and so insurance wrote it off.

On most days we commute together, but I agree on weekends, we could split chores and be done in half the time.
