You'd have take turn the snob on and leave it on permanently to drive a ASStin martin. I personally like Porsche better than ferarri or astin. I just love the porsche styling and the boxer engines are really cool.

1977 Jeep CJ-7 at 15. (Renegade w/ factory Levi's interior, 304 8 cyl., 3 spd man. converted to 400 turbo auto., 3 in. suspension lift on 33s. Parents bought new in '77 and Dad and I rebuilt from ground up. Took almost every dime I could make as quickly as I could make it.) - Still own.
1997 MX-5 in college. (Montego blue with tan leather and 5 spd. Adjustable autocross suspension with rolled wheelwells to fit all the tire I could.) - Still own.
2003 Buell XB-9S in college. (The yellow was appropriate as it seemed to be a lemon for me.)- Sold it as soon as all the repair work was completed.
2003 H-D VRSCA V-Rod. (100th anniversary model. This is my sanity when the world gets to me.) - Still have and hope to have until I am old and grey.
2006 Honda CBR-600RR. (Factory orange pearl w/ black tribal flames. It matched my orange and black leather Harley jacket. What can I say, I love orange.) - Sold last year.
1997 Toyota Camry. (Used as a daily driver. I'm a fool for selling it. Fantastic car - even w/ all the miles.) - Sold to purchase...
2002 Banatti Grey Disco II. (We have had a turbulant relationship, but then again it's British. Love it on the good days... can't sell it on the bad.) - Still in the driveway.
1997 Ford F-350. (4x2, Powerstroke, four door, 8 ft. bed. Was my work truck. Looks like a white train that I will probably part out.) - Taking up yard space.
I hope to be done buying vehicles for a while and just hold onto the ones I do have.
I had an Italian fiance' at one time. Wow... and I thought the British cars were unreliable...!

RE: what was your first vehicle?
i'm still in college so my list isnt too long...
I had a 96 Honda(Acura) Integra which was a lot of fun, then I crashed it learning a lesson the hard way.
That was sophmore year of high school, got a really clean 89 RX-7 after that.
Started college in Vermont so the sports car had to go. Girlfriend was housesitting somebody's house and they had a Disco... kind of a crappy one, actually; a green automatic with no sunroofs or leather or anything fun. But i felt really cool driving it. So i decided I would get one. I seached high and low as i had determined i had to have a White D1 with a manual transmission, tan interior, sunroofs and 7-seats. Low and behold i found my perfect truck after months of searching.
Bought it around new years of 07... and have been enjoying it since! although I have definetly paid what i spent on it in repairs.
