I found my dad's 9-5 to be a tad ugly, but the 9-3 always tugged at my heart strings. I thought it was beautiful and honestly still looks great to this day. That was a beautiful car.

So true. The 93's interior was also far more beautiful than the 95 - just the perfect balance of modern and classic Saab design language. It was disheartening when GM started swapping in Chevy and Pontiac bits in the refresh though somewhere around 2005/2006.

I've owned a Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, Volvo and VW after that 93 and it was still by far my favorite car to ever own. But the 550i easily took that crown :-)

1969 Firebird. I loved that car. I got it in 1977 when I was 16 years old. I bought it from Dave Carter for $600.

CairoExpat · 03-18-2022, 02:01 AM

Opel B Corsa from 1993, bought it used, turned out head gasket was broken

still a nice car as a first car

its55 · 03-18-2022, 05:46 AM

Purchased in 1970 at a total cost of $500. Bought if from a co-worker of my mother using my McDonald's 1.65/hour minimum wage earnings.

Esteban · 03-18-2022, 08:38 PM

1968 VW Bug with a custom red and black paint job. I was 18 and it was 1973. Sadly, no pics.

It was something like this but mine was not as nice as this one. Same wheels, though.

350, auto. I put a shift kit in it, manifold and carb set up. I loved that car.

MMM.PWR · 03-20-2022, 02:15 PM

My first car was my mom's Toyota Corolla. My first enthusiast car was an RSX S in Blaze Orange Metallic. First manual too.

I bet you did. I lost out on a 69 Firebird with a 396 4 spd. Beautiful body style and always sad I couldn't get it. I did snag a numbers matching 1980 Vette 4 spd now and loving that.

My friend Kevin Milroy had one of those. Great car.

Nahlem · 03-21-2022, 07:24 AM

An good old 1999-2002 Volvo S40 2.0T Grey i remember it was. Remember also the old lady who bought after me later on called me a couple of months later to tell me how glad she was to be driving around in such a clean and tidy car.

Always was a clean freak with my cars. Looked something like that although not this car. Wish i had my laptop from back then filled with so many pictures of cars from different car meets and races that were back then.

1990 Honda Civic Si, 5-speed manual, high revving 108hp Inline-4, amazing road feel because no power steering but didn't need it because only ~1,000 kg. Don't have a photo anymore but looks exactly like in this...
