    What was your first car and what would be your last?

    First car is easy, it’s what your first car was.

    For me it was a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E with a AMG body kit and 17 AMG wheels. My parents couldn’t afford to buy me the AMG Hammer.

    Last car is much harder. It can be your dream car or any other car. However it has to be your daily driver.

    I’m going with a white 458 Aperta with black leather sport seats with Daytona inserts. Gold wheels and gold stripe.

    First was a Navy Blue 1969 VW Beetle. If I won a Powerball jackpot, last would be an F50.

    Off topic a bit...once had a spin a F50....after I had a spin in a F40, before I had a spin in a 288 GTO. All on the same day. The F50 just astonished me...

    1975 Ford Cortina MK3 for £800 of my money and the bank's :p in 1981.
    Last fun car will most likely be either an Alfa 4C perhaps? or a 60's Ford Mustang. Daily car I've no idea.
    Fun car will not be a Ferrari because when I'm retired it'll likely not be affordable as I'm spending it all now :D

    How were the brakes? Several guys have complained about them not having any power assist over the years.

    You are very, very fortunate to have had outings in those cars, BTW!

    First was a '92 Ford Explorer XLT with no safety features and a nice car-rolling Firestone tires including the spare. I'll pass on wanting that again.

    My dream car is a McLaren F1 LM and I'd drive it everyday and hopefully in an area close to west coast national parks.

    First car: 1976 Ford LTD - my father told me that, if I could learn to parallel-park that boat, I'd never have a problem. He was right!

    Last car: ??? The whole "dream/grail" concept has always seemed to be a failure of imagination. I have lots of stuff I still want to get; I couldn't possibly commit to just one car.

    Dead easy question for me - first car will also be my last!
    Purchased this Feb 1978, but saving the celebrations for next year when she will turn 50 (and my 308 will be 40!). the Fiat is literally written into my will to go to the Fiat car club when I die:)

    My first car was a 1991 Mercedes Benz 190E, this was in 2006 lol.

    Dream car is an F50 but that's not a good daily driver. So I'll gladly take the bus to work if I can enjoy an F50 on the weekend.

    First car was a 1976 corvette coupe. POS was a money pit, but it taught me a lot about cars.

    Last car....probably a Tesla robot car or whatever old fat guys will “drive” in the future.

    At 16 I bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma. With 2k miles on the clock, I totaled it. (It wasn't named Brad). My last car? Whichever one I die in. I'll always have multiple sports cars.
