    Not sure on the year. 90s Grand Am.

    Was supposed to be my car but Mom decided she wanted a minivan instead. Yes, when her daughter was learning to drive and she'd only have to cart around 2 kids after I get a car, she decided THAT was the best time to get a van. I then had to drive the van until I got my own car. Awesome.

    1983 Grand Prix LJ. I loved the G body cars, always wanted a Monte Carlo SS but couldn't afford one, so I bought this for $1200 when I was 15. I quickly learned about over steer that first year, had a lot of fun, saved a lot of potential spinouts, but never crashed her. Not bad for a new driver.

    When I got my license, my parents had 1992 Subarus. My dad's a Loyale, and my mom's a Legacy. Both FWD and auto trans. I pretty well spent my time 50/50 in both cars with my permit, but almost exclusively the Loyale by myself.

    The Loyale, doin what highschool cars do best:

    I acquired both cars, and a few years later, I put the engine from the Legacy in the Loyale, along with 4WD, 5MT, and 5-lug swaps, and it became the FrankenWagon.

    I learned to drive in my parents' cars, a 1982 Pontiac J2000 5spd and a 1988 Ford Taurus wagon, but my first car was a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood.

    That's weird. There was something eerily similar in our driveway at one point in the 90's. Homemade VW buggy of sorts.

    I learned on this exact Oliver 1650 at about age 12. My dad gave it to me before he sold the farm and I needed the snowblower. The automobile I learned on about the same age was a mid 1980s F-250 4 speed with an I6.

    Mine looked like this, but military flat black and same rims/tire combo. 3 spd on the stalk in all its 130 hp glory! Wish I still had pics of that thing (got lost in transit to different duty stations). Purchased in '93 for a whopping 1000 bucks from one of my friends in my unit. He used the money to buy an old 60's Mercury Monterey.

    Hahah, yes, 3 on the tree. My buddy had a '71 FJ40 in the robin's egg blue with 4 on the floor. I always used to call mine "a Jeep on steroids". Donut media just did a "All you need to know" video on the Land Cruiser and it made me want one again.

    No mercy given to me. Parents figured if I learned to drive and parallel park in a Suburban, everything else would be easier. They weren't wrong.

    My friends parents (who had the worst taste in cars) had one of those. It was all maroon. And awful.

    I learned on a 1991 Chevy S10 Blazer.

    We owned one! We had a 93 maroon/silver with maroon interior and a front bench seat.
