The first car that I remember fondly was a 1959 VW Beetle. I only drove it a few times, then my older brother borrowed it and totaled it.

The first car I bought new was a 1980 VW pickup truck, which had the front of a VW Rabbit and the rear was a pickup bed. That too was totaled, this time as I drove it. (Another driver turned into me in an intersection, so it wasn't my fault.) I have four cars now, but still daydream about having an older VW Golf, say from 1986-1990. I really liked those cars.
