Re: *Your first car*
My 1st car was a 1982 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. I bought the car back in 1997 when I was 18yrs. old. It wasn’t the 1st Cadillac I fell in love with, but it was the 1st one I could afford.
That car never let me down. I wish I still had it today.
It’s also when the detailing bug hit.

Behold the glory of the 1990 Mitsubishi Magna. I'm curious to see if Mitsubishi US sold a version of this. Although in my memory I think it was developed for the Australian market. I had one as a loan car once, I felt like everyone was starring at me.

Re: *Your first car*
My first car in 2004 was a 2001 Ford Fairmont (Falcon) sedan.
This model Falcon, the AU, was reviled by most due to it's somewhat awkward styling, I am one the rare few who actually loved the way it looked. Mine was presumably owned by a previous owner who towed a caravan, as witnessed by the existence of a heavy duty tow bar and scraped rear mudflaps (these Falcon's were sprung very softly for comfort, hence the scraped mudflaps). I loved that car, the Barossa Red paint rewarded the detailing effort I poured into it. I changed the wheels and exhaust, added a rear spoiler and changed a few interior trim pieces, including the lovely Momo steering wheel. With an engine with huge low down torque and an open diff, it would rip single-peg burnout with ease!
I loved that AU so much that a decade later, I bought the ultimate version in what was called the T3 TS50. These had a stroked 5.6 Windsor V8 that used a hilarious amount of fuel but sounded stunning! I sold that car for my current XR8.
The spoiler looked rather silly and certainly drew many looks. It was apparently offered a measurable amount of down-force, but was really just a "mine is bigger than yours" situation between Holden and Ford at the time.

Re: *Your first car*
My first car was/is also a Cadillac. An ‘89 Coupe de Ville. I still have it! It’s my pride and joy and I don’t plan on ever getting rid of it although it rarely gets driven these days. I’ll try to get some decent photos this weekend…
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
