Just bought my first car!!
-
I wasn't exactly planning on buying any car until this morning since I'm still on my learner but fast forward a few hours and I have a Hyundai i30 in my parking. Not even sure if it's considered "perfect" for somebody's first car but who cares. It complements me and I'm just super excited to finally be part of the club :cool:
Nice, congrats! :D I don't much care for cars, but I make an exception for the Hyundai i10 (a friend of mine has one). That must be the ugliest car ever (well, save for the Fiat Multipla), but it's really good and dependable. Somehow, the way the i10 looks really triggers me (even more than the Multipla because the i10 looks like a regular car at first glance while the Multipla looks like a monster right away). The i20 and up look great though :thumbsup:

I would not be surprised if the Multipla was a practical inside joke, that accidently made it to production. It really looks like the crazy experimental car designs from the 60's and 70's.
Clarkson described it as "designed by a group of people that seemingly never met" Fiat Multipla by Jeremy Clarkson - Favourite 'family car' - YouTube[^]

welcome to the 2nd most expensive thing you will ever have. Hyundai builds reliable and SAFE vehicles. Not a bad choice for your first vehicle.

I am quite blessed in the wife department. She is quite frugal and actually helps me to stay in control. Very lucky guy i am. I will admit the Kids have cost quite a bit. But the house on my goodness the house. Also, I don't consider a person as being a thing so I really don't put value on that at least not monetarily. Perhaps emotionally.

Mine was a Lancia Beta HPE 2000. Three years old, and already melting away ... :sigh: Nice car when it was running, but a PITA to work on when it wasn't.

3rd or 4th, I suspect. Wives can get very expensive (check out any divorcee), and kids cost an absolute fortune!

Ok, it would have made sense to click the joke icon. I don't care spending money for the family and that includes then finally also the house and the car and much more ...

1977 Chevy Nova. Ten months later I totaled it and bought a 1978 Chevy Nova. Both New England rust buckets.

So weird that this is the exact "turd on wheels" I was referring to. My dad bought it from a neighbor for $300. When I eventually turned it in to get a new pickup truck they asked me how much I thought it was worth, I said 50 cents. They new I was not joking.

My second was a Simca with a years MOT (UK safety test) which I bought for £10. And sold it back to the guy I bought it off of a year later when the MOT ran out for the same £10! Gawd, but that was a POS. Great for driving in London though, as nobody blocked it in as it was obvious that ramming their car out of the way wouldn't have added much to the existing dents, scratches, and broken bits ... :laugh:

It's a hell of a lot better than my first car. My first car was a turd on wheels. Congrats!! :thumbsup:
