My first car ever was a 1990 Mazda 323 hatchback (looked like a shoe); drove it till my junior year in high school when the timing belt gave out. Then I got a brand new 2009 Sentra (silver with a spoiler because why not), drove it till I graduated college (paid it off!) and went off to Master's in Michigan. For some strange reason I traded in the Sentra for a used 2010 BMW 323i Coupe before I left...bad choice for two reasons: it had been in an accident the dealer conveniently didn't tell me about and rear wheel drive sucks in the snow. As soon as I got back home to Alabama I traded it in for a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T, and just about a year ago I traded that in for my 2016 370z and been driving it ever since.
