Pimp my ride

We had a conversation today at work about cars we used to own. My coworker mentioned he used to drive a Honda CRX, which reminded me of my very first car.

When I was 15, probably six months from being able to drive, I spotted a black 1986 Honda CRX at a local dealership in Dover. I just had to have that little spitfire of a car as my first ride ever.

I'll never forget the days of running around Dover with friends huddled in the hatchback (it was a two seater). It was known as the Spidie-mobile because of the license plate and was one of the coolest little cars a 16-year old could have back in the day. Granted, kids are driving Audi's and BMW's today...but who cares.

So what cars have you owned over the years? Do a google search and see if you can find them online. I've compiled a small photo list of my past rides including my current sled here in DC. But I'd love to hear what others have owned and what you have to say about the cars of your past.
