What was your first car?

Cougar

My first car was a super-sexy, two-tone gray, 1985 Cougar.  My mother bought it for me for $100.00.  The interior was burgundy cloth and I absolutely LOVED this car!  She was old, but very well kept...just like new.  I ended up donating the Cougar three years later when I decided to buy myself a brand new car on my own, which was one of my proudest moments.  I did love my Cougar, though, without a doubt.
