Mine was an 1984 Buick Skyhawk that my grandmother gave me when I turned 16. Biggest piece of crap ever but it was my first and I loved it.

Looked exactly like this one too

first car I bought COMPLETELY with my own money:
1992 mitsubishi mirage (absolutely hated that car, even took it offroading a few times- dad crashed it doing one of the VERY FEW THINGS HE EVER DID NICE FOR ME, he went and bought tires for it and a old lady ran a stop, totalling it)

first car ive had but still could be taken away by the parental units:
1994 dodge grand caravan/1988 ford taurus
i could take whatever one they werent using pretty much

hehe
the aus spec r31's were made in australia and only came in the 4 door model with an australian built 3L 6 cyl engine based on the rb series (and to put it frankly, they were pretty asthmatic.....BUT, coupling them with a rb25 head and a turbo.....WHOLE different story)
they werent that flash, considering you could get 4 door pillarless sedans and 2 door coupes in japan with the more powerful 2L turbo rb engines
