9 First Car Photos That Will Make You Think of Your First Car

Do you remember your first car? We sure do. Out of brand loyalty we won’t go into the details, but we will say this: we got a great deal, earned a ton of compliments, and paid way too much in repairs before we realized we ought to let it go.

That’s the great thing about first cars: no matter what your experience was, it makes for a great story. Inspired by this, we found 12 pics on Instagram of people showing off their first cars.

Every single pic has a great story behind it, and we did our best to draw that story out for you. So grab a snack, settle in, and celebrate that it’s Friday.

And share your first car story with us on Facebook!

Mike will never forget his first car…although he may wish he forgot that suit. Double tap if you still love your first ride and comment what it was! #classiccars #throwbackthursday #carcare

This was the car I drove to work at Deters. 1967 Ford Fairlane Semi-station wagon champagne color. Three on the tree! Grandpa Duesterhaus bought it for me for $200. I ended up giving it back to him when it’s brake rotor went out And I couldn’t find the part “no brakes no driving” he would say and “check your fluids” so he sold it for $300. #fordfairlane #firstcar #cruiser
