My First Car Research Paper

Improved Essays
Everyone’s first car is always said to be the most memorable. In my experience, I could say the same thing. Firstly, my first car was a 1993 Subaru Impreza. It was glossy black, with nice metallic wheels, a four door sedan, but extremely cool. It was all wheel drive so it was an all great first vehicle. Secondly, this car came from my brother. My brother gave me my first car for free at the age of sixteen. My brother out of all the people, the guy with hardly any money to spend, gave me his car because he felt like it would be a great car for me. Thirdly, my brother worked on this car for at least a year before even giving it to me. He basically transformed the whole thing from top to bottom. It used to be a sickly, faded, sun-damaged, green color. The interior was old and dirty tan color, and had horrifying stock wheels on it. My brother himself painted the outside the car, changed the whole interior to a nice grey, and painted the tan top to black. It turned out to be …show more content…

It was a 1992 Nissan 240sx, one of my all-time favorite cars, and I finally got one. It was a beautiful car inside and out, almost pristine condition, and all stock parts luckily. I was very happy with this car, until it got into an accident, and I had to get rid of it sometime later. Thirdly, my first car(s) really changed my life. Without my Subaru, I probably would have not ever considered a manual transmission car. Now, I can drive a manual transmission car almost near perfect. My daily driver is a manual transmission car, and I could not be any happier with

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
