1) A 2003 dark green Mercury Grand Marquise GS.
2) Late in high school but I can't quite put a year down
3) This changes from time to time although I haven't thought about it in a while. I am not much of a car nut nonetheless something cool. Maybe a Mini-Cooper

-1. Don't have one of my own--but, unrestricted access to one when needed. Also, no
about coloring outside the lines when it comes to using a company-provided one.
-2. 16; gift from my uncle.
-3. Don't have a dream car.

Lol . It's Manual Transmission and I don't know how to use it. Maybe when we're officially married and the insurance rates change he can show me. 😵

Currently driving a Ford Flex. Mainly because it's comfortable. It was a one off after 33 years of driving GM's. Next time around I'm back to GM - probably another Enclave.
Favorite cars in past were Buick Ranier and Buick Enclave. Also loved the 2008 GMC Acadia - but it had so many issues I had to get rid of it rather quickly.
Don't really have a dream car.
First car I drove for about a year was a 1980 Ford Fairmont in 1982.
First car I bought was a 1989 Pontiac Transport.
Least favorite car was the second car I drove - the disposable Chevy Chevette.

LOL Not sure I'd call the Flex a truck though. More of a box. Looks like a Borg cube. But I didn't get it for it's style. lol
It's probably my one and only non-GM vehicle. We have a discount with them - so it makes sense. I got the FORD this time around because 2 different GM Dealers pissed me off - so I stopped off at a Ford dealer - liked the room - and got it on a whim. lol

Back in the 80s I drove a Triumph TR-8. And I had a Chevy Monza at the same time.
Before that I had a Toyota 4x4 truck with canopy cover and I had a sunroof installed on the cab. Before that a Honda Civic.
I also played with various other cars that I sometimes bought for a friend or my brother, and also a small Commuta-Car electric made by Commuter Vehicles. And I got to experience a variety of vehicles - not just cars - while installing car stereos in my high school years.
I don't really dream about cars any more, but when I did my favorite was probably the Lotus Esprit. I stopped thinking about most others when I realized how SMALL they really are. Such as the Lamborghini Countach, which I saw at a dealer in the course of test-driving an Alfa Romeo GTV6. I also drove a new Camaro, RX-7, 280zx, Fiat X1/9, and a couple others before deciding on the TR-8. At the time, the TR-8 was even faster than the Corvette.

I drive a 2016 Jeep Wrangler two-door. I also keep a 2011 Jeep Liberty in reserve (has 150,000+ miles on it). I tend to beat the hell out of my vehicles, drive a lot for my job, and several months out of the year I have to get through heavy snow.
My first vehicle, when I was 16 back in 1991, was a 1984 Pontiac Sunbird. Leaked oil so bad that I had to keep a case of used oil in the trunk to constantly top her off, but the thing always started, even in cold winters, except one day when it was 23 degrees (F) below zero.
I've already owned my dream car-- a 2001 Firebird Formula, bought it new with only 6 miles on it, gray exterior with a V-8 engine and Monsoon sound system. Loved that thing, drove it till it had almost 200,000 miles on it and the doors were falling off. Finally got rid of her in 2016:(
Will never buy another sports car again, though . . . I am now in the "practical" stage of my life:(

Anything with a back seat is not really a "sports car" but okay.

Not true ! At one point there was a whole section in Car and Driver for 4 door sports cars.
