First Car?

[PandaBear]

My first car was a 1985 Honda Accord that my grandparents had bought brand new, then my uncle kept it for a while, then I finally got it. It had automatic everything, which the first time I saw it when I was little I thought it was somehow "magic" because automatic cars were first coming out then.
My first NEW car, on the other hand, was actually the one I have now. A 2002 VW Jetta. I got it after my Honda's engine died on the freeway one night when I was driving home. Anyway I was at work the next day and my mom picked me up afterward and we went to the VW dealer (she didn't tell me she had spent the day looking for a new car for me!) and she showed me the new Jettas they had just gotten in. I saw the dark blue one sitting there on the lot and wanted it immediately! Its a terrific car. Mine has almost 80000 miles on it, and runs like brand new!
