[@pe-peron8441]

I know Americans are not very familiar with the car cult of old Europe, but driving an ocean liner as your first car is torture. If you want to get around comfortably with a few friends and be safe, take the train. Cars are made to feel the adrenaline as you drive on the limit and risk crashing, but that's the beauty of it, and that's the only reason why you do it. Get an old Yaris or some other wreck instead: you spend a lot less, pollute a lot less and have a lot more fun Edit.: I would also add that the Suburban is likely to be petrol-powered, which is a crime against humanity for vehicles of this kind: they are made to be propelled by a diesel engine, so that you can at least feel the power of the turbocharger; and the automatic gearbox is another thing that should never exist in a first car, but I know Americans do not particularly like automatic or sequential gearboxes

I would rather sit as a passenger in his car than most cars I could afford. I did finally get a 1996 Dodge Intrepid (3.0 V6). Had it for about 8 years, it was pretty fun (for me), but I don't recommend anyone own one longer than 4 years, because the suspension goes to trash and replacing it will cost about half what the car is worth.

I'd never really consider myself much of a car guy. Regardless, I love all the Donut Media videos and it certainly is a great time to experience people's passion for cars. As for first cars my family got me a 1997 Ford Thunderbird as my first. In fact, I still own it and drive it. I haven't a single idea if it's a good car, but my goodness do I absolutely love it. May be in that same vein as the Mustang.

Had a 75 accord for my first car back in 1995 and that thing had 300k miles on it when I sold it to a guy down the street. He used it to get back and forth to the local steel mill. He put another 60k on it before the engine quit on it, the floor boards had pretty much rusted through at that point, but the engine was a beast that would not die.

[@k.b.tidwell]

The only one better would be the 1976 model owned by one of my customers years ago that was an extended cab. I sold him a 390 long block for that one, but I'd never have ridden in it because he had apparently never heard of soap or not sleeping with his dogs. He reeked. Correction: we can go a step further and get one of the railroad trucks of that day, true factory-built four doors! I had a 1978 model with the round headlights and 302 and I enjoyed that truck so much. Like you, I'd love to have it back.
