    I have a Scion xB as my first car and I got it through my parents, they took the money out of my college fund. But when I turn 18 (in a couple months) that money will be mine so I guess really I paid for it.

    1953 Chevy Bel Air. It belonged to my grandparents and had been sitting in their yard for several years slowly rotting (this was in 1968). When I got my license, they told me that if I could get it running, it was mine. So about a month later and a hundred dollars or so in parts, I had my first car. It was a real POS but I couldn't have been any more proud.

    1974 Porsche 914. Cool when it worked, but that was pretty rare.

    I got it using money, if that's what you're asking. I got the money by working hard.

    I recieved a 3000GT VR-4 from my uncle who actually used some of the money my parents had left me.

    Loved that car, and never wanted to mod it. Unfornately, an Explorer being driven by a girl with a new license and her mother backed into it, and pushed the back tire on the hood, along with a cracked windsheild.

    Months afterward, a 3000GT Spyder popped up for $22K at a Mitsu. dealer. I think I should have gotten it, but didn't feel good about the car.

    Sold 3 days before I finally decided to get it.

    When I got my driving license I started to drive an old Renault 18 Turbo my father had in the garage. I was allready used to the car, so it was a very nice start.
    After few months I started working and couldn't live with 14lts of gas every 100kms.
    So I started using an old Opel Kaddett Van 1.7d with ony 2 seats. It was white and slow but very strong and reliable for a car with 600.000 kms. It was the reason of laugh for most of my friends and co-workers. And I loved it for that. I usually drove it very hard and never had any bad surprise except for one day when oversteering got harder than what I sould handle and it only stopped against a wall. Of my neighbour and godfather's house, btw.
    One day I had to buy myself a car and leave my father's tired ones alone. And I probably made a mistake when I decided to spend 15.000 on Peugeot 206 2.0 HDI. I could have bought an old BMW or somethign like that, have more fun and spend less money. But this was 5 years back. I was a stupid kid.

    Where does the Fiat come into this? Does your dad own it?
