I learned to drive on (I think it was a 1961) Lincoln Continental (Note: the car was not new when I learned to drive :) ). I can park anything now.
The first car that was mine was a 1976? Ford Pinto - I'm sure any Highway Patrol who saw me flying by never believed a Pinto was going that fast.
several cars in between then and now...
.... looking forward to getting back to a Lincoln - an LS....
 
1986 Olds Cutlass Supreme 442...father was the original owner, I got rid of it at ~250k miles.

1993 GMC C1500 - blew up the original motor at ~212k miles, still have it....killed it the day I bought my Lincoln.

1998 Lincoln Mark VIII. :L
 
A 9 year old 1966 Lincoln 4 door convertible which I bought right after graduating college.

I was lucky, in that my Dad let me borrow his 1966 Lincoln sedan on occassions, in high school, and in college.

I "beat" a 1969 Road Runner in the sedan, where we hit 118 MPH at one point. The guy gave me a big thumbs up. My buddy did not speak to me for a half year after that.
 
72 Chevelle conv.
350 , 4Bbl, 4 speed with 3:42's.
Had 40k orig miles, and it was mint.
I paid $900 for it.

This will tell my Age for sure ! My first car was:

My first car was given to ME by my Uncle Phill, I had just turn 17 and it was my last year of school. He gave ME a 1951 Ford 4-door that didn't run ! My father gave me a set of craftmans tools for Christmas and my mother gave me a Chiltaine Book on the car! So this kept me in school and working a job after school and working on the car on weekends ! my father would stick he head in the grarge every once in a while and shake his head as to how I was doing on the motor ( flat head V8 ) took me 6 mo. but I had it running ! My dad took it for a ride and told me it was saft to drive so we put the plates on it ,I painted it Baby Blue with a little angle on the back ! Drove it until I join the Navy in 1965. ( gave it to my little brother ).

Now I Have: 1985 Cadillec Seville
1978 Ford E-150 Conversion Van
1978 Honda 750 Super Sport motorcycle :bow:
 
1968 Firebird bought in '71 when I was 19. Insurance was $650.00 a year. That was a lot of dough for a teenager. My fiance suggested I put the car in her name to get an annual premium of $250.00. I sold he the car for $1.00 and other "valuable considerations". I went out and spent the difference on an engagement ring. Two weeks later I get a notice that I've been made an excluded driver on my own car!!!! Luckily I had a work truck that I got to take home at night, only because I lived in a safer neighborhood than the shop was in.

Now I have:

1956 Continental Mark II convertible
1968 Lincoln 6-door limo
1977 Lincoln Town Car
1988 BMW 750iL
1988 BMW 325iX
1997 BMW Z3
1998 Mercedes ML-320

Wish list:

1956 Bently Continental S-1 cabrio (only 31 LHD made)
1955 Porche 356 Continental cabrio (only 121 convertibles made)
1970 Type 1 E-type Jaguar (lots made, this one my wife wants)
 
My first car is my current car a 2003 Lincoln LS8 and love it, bought it with 24,000km on it. (I'm canadian hence the km)

my second wife's father gave us a 1961 pontiac catalina in 1968 after i was drafted and stationed in georgia...luckily ive had more cars than wives!

Next up, 1990 Taurus SHO, blk/blk. I went from a '68 Mustang with no A/C to a car that had auto activating headlamp and climate control. Man this car was fun. It also got owning a black car out of my system.

I've owned two SHOs. I bought a '92 in Feb '95, then at the end of Aug '95, traded it for a '95. I owned the '95 up 'til last year, when I gave it to my brother in exchange for re-roofing my house. Immense amounts of high-speed fun. :D

In '96, I almost bought a V8 SHO from an OKC stealership, but the dorks wouldn't deal. They wanted more for their used '96 SHO than some dealers were asking for new ones (I even brought in an ad from the Denver paper, and they wouldn't budge). At a time when over half of all new '96 SHOs were still sitting on dealer lots, these guys tried to claim that they were having no trouble selling them. Yeah, right. They also wanted full retail for a '95 SHO that had obviously been smacked fairly severely both front and rear; based on the quality of the "paint job" on the nose and tail, I had no faith in any other related repairs. They tried to claim that it hadn't been in a collision, but even Ralph Nader would have known that it was damaged goods. :slam

FWIW, the first car that I bought was a beater '78 T-Bird. I loved it, but driving down the highway, it looked like a destroyer escort laying down a smoke screen; it used gas and oil in an almost 1:1 ratio. :wrench
 
My first car, purchased February 14th, 2005, is my beloved 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII. My next car will be another Mark VIII, although I may just keep and "restore" this one and add and AWD vehicle to my collection. RWD is dealy in the snow.
 
new car.. well bike 2005 hyabusa 1300 mmmm got her a couple of days ago..
