Mine was a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire...

My family is traditionally a GM family... my grandfather retired from GM. She my mother forced me to get a GM so I could get a discount... when I really wanted to Mitsubishi Eclipse that was sitting next to it. At least Mitsu is closer to a Dodge then Pontiac. Yuck.

But a few years later I traded my 1998 Sunfire in on my 1994 Dodge Ram whom I love to bits. Oddly enough, my family now mostly has DCX products:
Grandpa (who retired from GM) - 2006 Chrysler 300C Hemi
Aunt - Jeep Cherokee
Uncle - Chrysler Pacifica
Dad - OLD Jeep Comanchee
Me - All Dodges

My mother - Saturn Vue <--- YUCK YUCK YUCK!

My fist brand new car was a 2006 Eclipse. That thing started falling apart the day i drove it off the lot. I had it for 4 months and traded it off for a F150 4x4.

 

Patrick loves this.... my only brand new car was a 1980 Dodge Mirada. Silver, red velour interior, mighty slant six under the hood. Car was a jinx from the start. Had it for two months and had a minor mishap with a tree (left front fender); one month later, I got broadsided by a guy leaving a parking lot (left side of car); that winter, I slid off an icy road and took out a mailbox (with the left front corner of the nose); the following summer, had to have the left side repainted because the replaced sheet metal wasn't holding paint; The next winter, somebody backed into the driver's door in a parking lot; then, the final topper came on St. Patrick's day of 1982, when it burned up in a garage fire. Obviously, Patrick has had much better luck with his!

 

very nice! my mirada has been good to me, except for the last 3 times to the track where i had top end problems, then broke a lifter, then scattered the tranny! [:@]

 

Ouch, how long did it take to fix that? And what did you all have to replace?

 

not yet a new car owner untill the challenger!!!

 

it broke the torque convertor, the front pump was shot, and while it was out, we had the whole tranny "cleaned up" inside...the TC was rebuilt, to stall to 4000 instead ot 3000.

My first new car was a 1970 Ford Pinto - Lime Green - 2 door, automatic. It was all I could afford at the time. Then I traded that in for a new 1974 Mustang GT, Blue too long ago don't remember the shade of blue.
