Well not my "first" car, but my first not a p.o.s. car.

2001 Dodge Durango SLT "plus" (as they call it). The heated leather seats will be nice come winter

congrats, i just got my "first" car also.

the first DB my parents helped out a bit with the downpayment and some months where i didnt have a job. I paid that bish off in 5 years, but only had it paid off a few months before i sold it, in which i gave some of the sale money back to my parents.

the 240sx was my sister's car handed down only because she had kids and didnt have time/money to fix the car

the evo was my first car that was completely under my name/credit, but wasnt able to pay off the lien in 18 months of ownership. if i was able to pay off the lien, then yes, that would have been my first car.

so yeah, now the integra in my sig i paid in cash, in full, with no outside attachment.

my first car. sweet.

Props to you...but my question is...why...especially during these obvious days of gas prices. :eh:

Have fun pouring gas $$$ into that <12 mpg thirst machine. :thumbup:

Oh, and props again.

i average 20 mpg not 12 and don't commute more than 12 miles a day. was just above empty and was 50.00 to fill it up. such negativity today!

needed another vech to use for towing purposes for our business, for fire dept stuff, and our family. also was in my price range and in excellent condition.
