The Crown Vic is the kind of car that's got Japanese reliability, American style, and just that Crown Vic feel. Love it.
A baby/nephew happened, and the FC didn't have rear seats, so, yeah. Fortunately he didn't stoop low enough to buy a god forsaken minivan, but drove a Land Rover Discovery for a little while before handing it over to the wife and went and bought himself a 993 911 Turbo to compensate. EDIT:I just woke up when I saw this.
2 Years ago I asked my dad if I could try and drive his Peugeot 4007. I drove the car into a ditch almost but apart from that everything went well
Probably the old Zafira A TDI, (RIP) when I was like 6 years old, I was on the knees of my father and I was turning the steering wheels in our garden x)
The first car I ever practiced driving in was this car... 2011 Mazda 3 hatchback in white. Now that I have my G1 license, I mostly drive in my dad's truck... 2005 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew
On the street, a circa 2010-2013 ford fiesta. Off road, circa 2000-2005 Peugeot 307 sw. I think it was earlier end of that bracket as I was only 12, I'm 22 now. So would have been 2006-2007 this happened and it certainly wasn't a brand new car. Drove many vehicles off road before ever touching the road at 18 (at least in a car, I had a 50cc scooter on road at 16) and passed test first time with a mere 10 hours of driving lessons, I was advised to take my test after just 3 but there is a waiting list on test slots in UK. Most people have at least 20 hours before being advised to book a test so mine was probably one of the fastest possible from first lesson to test pass without doing some kinda intense 2 hours of lessons every day and getting lucky with a test spot real soon. First car was then a 1999 Skoda Felicia
First car I ever drove was a 2012-ish JK Wrangler.... It was a rental car in the middle of nowhere, so that was fun
The 993 turbo in good condition is easily worth half a million usd. in Mexico blue? add another 200k. the Porsche market is absolutely absurd.
An Opel Astra 1.6 cdti... Slow, heavy and not sporty. An ideal car for student drivers. Did my test after 20 hours (30 or more is common here in the Netherlands). I also drove a Piaggio Ape before that, but that isn't a car
First car I seriously drove on public roads on a learner's permet back in late 2010 and going into 2011. a 1989 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight with the 3.8L "3800" V6 coupled to an automatic transmission. Had a midnight blue exterior, blue interior, originally had 15 inch mesh sport alloys when we bought the car back in 2008, but father changed those out pretty quickly for 15 inch black steel wheels on thin white wall tires with 60's Oldsmobile wheel covers on them. The mesh sport wheels were not in that great of condition either too.
His is in Arctic Silver, he actually talked about getting it repainted/wrapped in Mexico blue, but nowadays, he's got his eyes on a 991 911R, GT3 RS, or if those two don't work out, then last choice is a Turbo S. He toyed with the idea of selling it, but he's had it for a long while, and hell I'd jump on the chance of taking it off his hands... granted he doesn't need to sell it to buy a new one, even so, that'd be one hell of a road trip, driving that back home.
A 1993 Jaguar XJ40, I nearly killed myself and my dad that day... I miss that car, despite the joke that all Jaguars are unreliable that car never missed a beat.
