No car during high school. Use of grandfather's car a 1962 Ford Galaxy 500. Put the miles on it via the Garden State Parkway to and from work.

My first car. 1982 Honda Civic 4 door. Looked exactly like this. The oil pump went out at 280K miles and I couldn't afford the $1000 it cost to fix it then. Which was a lot in the 80's. This car started my love affair with Hondas that is still going strong. In fact, our house looks like a used Honda lot when all the kids come home. Only one of them doesn't drive a Honda.
I currently have a 2006 Odyssey with 75K miles that drives like new. I still have the 2007 Accord I drove to Maine a few years ago. That was very first brand new car purchase. We've put every one of the 180K miles it has on it. Still runs like new. One daughter drives a 2008 Civic, another a 2010 CR-V and my son is about to buy a 2003 Accord for his first car. The daughter who doesn't have a Honda drive a Toyota Corolla. She did have a 2001 Accord but it finally gave up the ghost.
Anyway we like Hondas. LOL Great cars.
yeah - my dad just told me not to slam on my brakes - "You don't want anyone slamming into the back of this car".
HollyGolightly - my mom had a Pinto for a while. Do y'all remember the movie Top Secret! It was a very bad Val Kilmer movie. In one scene, there is a Pinto and a bunch of baddies are heading right for it. They slam on the brakes, and stop and all breath a sigh of relief. Then they ease forward and lightly touch the bumper. BOOM!

Drove my parents' car, a 1967 Barracuda (web picture, not one of their car), small V-8. The back seat folded down forward, and the trunk partition folded down backward, for about 7 feet of... ummm.... storage room for camping equipment, yeah, that's it, with a big ol' picture window just up above for the ... ummm... camping equipment to look through.
For my chariot, I had a ... forget the year ... Honda CB100, again, a photo off the web. Grandma and I went on our very first date on this little thing.
Both vehicles were centerpieces of many storied adventures in my high school and college years.

I drove one of these. Except it was the three door model, being a hatchback.
I just recently bought a "new" (used) car. I was very close to buying a Honda, but I found Civic to be a bit too compact to my taste, although quite good to drive. My first choice would've been an Accord, but I couldn't find any newer models in my area.
So I went and bought my very first Toyota. So far so good.

Very nice. Mad Max meets Steve McQueen.
Tough crowd growing up in coal country. This is the kinds of things we did with Corvair to occupy our time waiting for the keg to show up.
