My parents bought me an 90's Vauxhall Corsa for my 17th. It'll be a while before I buy one myself.

I was given a car at 16 (a ten year old car, but still a car) I am now 24 and still have it, so I have never bought a carResonanceSD said:
I don't remember how old I was. Between 20 and 22. I'm 24 now so that says how shit my memory is.
Nissan Sunny. Wonderful handling, bit slow on the acceleration but not too bad, easily holds top speed and is pretty safe.
My next car will blow it out of the water but I'll still keep it.

I'm 24 and still don't own a car. I have a driving license, but public transport in London is so good (and the roads so clogged) that it makes more sense to take buses and trains everywhere.
Bought my first car when I was 18 in 2005, was a 1990 honda accord.
Drove it till it died four years later, then bought a 2002 acura 1.7 el. It still looks brand new except for one rust spot on the hood, engine still works perfectly as far as my mechanic tells me.
But if I still lived downtown I wouldn't have bothered buying the acura.

At 18 I bought a 1992 Ford Taurus. So it was 11 years old when I got it. That car got smashed into, had a tree fall on it and was stickered to hell and back. The transmission finally went...I still miss my beater car.
21, bought an '88 VW Golf 1.3 a couple of years ago, with 260k km on the clock, and really I've only ever had a few minor electrical problems. A bit of poke is something it doesn't have, but it handles good and it's light, so the 50 or so hp is sufficent, provided I'm not going up a too steep hill.
Also, why do people feel compelled to reply to threads such as this saying "oh I've never had a car, I hate driving, I like to hug trees and commune with nature."? I find it obtuse.

I'm 20, still on a permit and no car. Not for lack of trying mind you. No one I know is ballsy enough to let me practice with their car and I can't afford lessons. Maybe I could if I had a job, which would be a lot easier to find if I had a car. Yea, vicious cycle.
I started learning when i was 17 (UK here, so the minimum age is 17) and it took 3 months to pass, when i passed i got my first car, a '99 1.1 Peugeot 106 (Silver). Unforunatly that got written off by some nurse going into the back of me, after that my car history went like this;
'99 1.1 Peugeot 106 (Dark Metallic Blue)
'00 1.4 Renault Clio Sporting (Dark Metallic Blue)
'01 1.4 Peugeot 206 LX(Light Metallic Blue)
If it weren't for outragous UK insurance for young males, and the fact i'm doing 60miles a day i'd probably have the 2L 206 GTi180, but until one of either drops i'm going to have to stay put with the 1.4 =(.
*EDIT* Now looking into getting a 2L HDi 206 or 2L HDi 307

22 here and same situation. I always hear having a car is great but right now I just don't need one. I also don't have time to study for the test and no room to put a car. And finally, gas prices scare the living **** out of me.Jadak said:
And don't forget about that insurance business...bliebblob said:
Personally, I've just never had much interest in it. I'm definitely not a "car guy" and have no interest in the things other than their ability to get my from point A to point B, and so far I've managed to do that just fine without.
Still, there are times when having one would be useful, but at most I only really have an interest in getting my license for the sake of having the option to rent a car for a day or two if the need arises.
The year was 1991. I was the tender age of 16. The first car was a 1986 Nissan Pulsar. It was sorta crappy but it got me to where I wanted to go. Hell, I had a huge CB antenna on the trunk of it so it looked like a giant remote controlled car. Hehehehehe.....if I hit the brakes too hard the antenna would actually fly forward and whip the hood of the car.
