Tell us a little something about your first car. Do you have any photos you can share?

I wish I had pictures, but alas I don't. My first car was a white (with beige pinstripes, natch) 1987 Volkswagen Fox that I inherited from my mother. It had a wonderful gutless engine, no air conditioning, no power steering or power brakes, AM-FM cassette radio (that enjoyed eating my tapes), cloth seats, hand crank windows, and four speed manual transmission, but it took me on a daily 150 or so mile drive to work and back.
When I was 19 and making what I thought was an amazing salary, I traded it in and bought a new car, a 1997 Honda Accord. Of course, that was before I had to do stuff like pay rent and buy food, so most of my paycheck went toward the monthly payment and insurance.
