I know a lot of you own cars, so I might as well ask in here.

a) What age did you buy your first car?

b) Did you take out a loan?
b1) How much was the loan?
b2) Did you buy the car and Insurance with the loan?

c) How much was your car?

d) What car was it?

e) How much are you paying Insurance wise? (assuming you are actually insured ;cD)

And generally, anything else. Like, do you still own the car or did you sell it, or maybe it was written off.

General Crap I know, but I am actually interested...

a) What age did you buy your first car? I haven't yet bought myself a car.

b) Did you take out a loan? No - I wont be either when I buy one.

b2) Did you buy the car and Insurance with the loan? It's often more economical that way.

d) What car was it? Ford Escort

e) How much are you paying Insurance wise? (assuming you are actually
insured ;cD) I'm not - my dad is.

I work in car finance - I know if you're paying over the odds for your cars (that is if I can be bothered to look them up :D)

No idea. I just cannot crash it or my dad will hunt me down and will not stop for anything, until I am dead.

or something. The VAMPIRE however I can drive with no insurance as its still protected by the Governments official secrets act (OSA). I can't be stopped and arrested for something that doesn't exist.

Its worth a few hundred quid as a car, but the speakers and other addons make it more expensive.

Its a lovely to drive Mazda 323 with a 1.6l engine and.

e) How much are you paying Insurance wise? (assuming you are actually insured ;cD)

I had my first car when I was 17, but I didn't actually buy it. The first car I bought was earlier this year, when I was 21.

b) Did you take out a loan?

Nope

b1) How much was the loan?

N/A

b2) Did you buy the car and Insurance with the loan?

Nope, just saved my wages the old fashioned way!

c) How much was your car?

Enough!

d) What car was it?

Black Mazda RX-7 twin turbo Type-R (not my first car, that was a polo!)

e) How much are you paying Insurance wise? (assuming you are actually
insured ;cD)

£1,200 a year fully comp with tesco.

All was going well until it got written off by a big lorry on my side of the road which made me skid ino a ditch. To make matters worse he didn't even stop! Grr!
Anyway it should be replaced by xmas with an R33 GTR.

Snap!

I share my mum's car too, it's a red Nissan Micra. Yes, you may mock, but it's actually quite nippy when you want it to be.

It's like a tardis inside too, I recently shifted a bootload of junk at a car boot for the animal sanctuary I work at. I fitted a crazy amount of stuff in the back, and it didn't knacker the suspension either :-)
