My first new car was a Saturn SL2 purchased in August of 1992.  I gave it to 
my wife, who gave it to her son, who gave it back after buying a newer, used 
Saturn SC.  It's now driven by another stepson.

Looking back, my only regret is selling my Harley Davidson Sportster for the 
downpayment; but that may be a mid-life crisis thing.

Have fun,
