My first was a '95 Neon. I totalled it twice, being a dumb kid and all
After a year or so of having no car, I picked up a '91 Legacy Turbo. BTW, the cluster on the hood of that hatch is indeed correct, it's the pre-1990 Subaru logo

The USMB logo combines the old and the new logos.

My first car was a 1930 Model A roadster w/ rumble seat - no, I'm not THAT old. No wait, perhaps I am ... ..........
Anyway, bought it for $150 and sold it for $250 two years later. Only car I ever made any money on .. ...

Unlike some other motor companies, such as Ford (founded by Henry) or Suzuki (founded by Michio), Subaru is not named after its founder. "Subaru" is the Japanese word for "Seven Sisters", a common name for the most prominent stars in Pleiades, an open cluster of about 500 young stars (only about 100 million years old), barely visible in our northern sky. At least six of the 500 or so stars are visible to the naked eye, while under moderate conditions the number increases to 9, and under clear dark skies, jumps to more than a dozen. To see the rest, good quality binoculars or a telescope is required; but the cluster is still difficult to locate as it is spread over only 2 degrees - about four times the diameter of the moon.
The name "Pleiades" itself may have been derived from the Greek word for "to sail" or the word "pleios" meaning "full" or "many". Another theory is that the cluster is named after the mythological mother, Pleione, which is also the name of one of the brighter stars. According to Greek mythology, the main, visible stars are named for the seven daughters of "father" Atlas and "mother" Pleione: Alcyone, Asterope (a double star), Electra, Maia. .Merope, Taygeta and Celaeno. Although somewhat similar to the constellation Crusis, comprising Gacrux, Alpha 1 Crusis, Beta Crusis and a few other unnamed stars, which we know (in Australia) to be the Southern Cross, the Subaru badge represents a totally different group of stars. But why does the Subaru badge only have six stars? Ken Takeuchi from Japan has provided this insight, including an alternative background for the star emblem: To say first, SUBARU may stand for "seven sisters" may be true but the Pleiades stars are also called "Mutsura-Boshi", which means "six gathered stars". The star SUBARU even appears in the lyrics written more than 1000 years ago. The word has some romantic feelings to we Japanese. Fuji Heavy industries, the maker of SUBARU cars, was known as Nakajima Aircraft before WW II, which made many fighters and bombers. Even the famous Mitsubishi Zero fighter had a Nakajima 14 cylinder engine. After the war, the company was forced to spread into 15 companies to cut the strength of the huge weapon industry. But in the early 1950s, five of the companies gathered into one again to restart as a transportation company. That's FUJI and that's why there are five little stars and one big star.

1968 Firebird, black with white interior, slotted mags with 60 series tires. Bought it in 75 while in the Navy for $800. Worth twice that now(or more). 3 years later traded it and some cash for a 60 Ford PU.
What a fool

First cars...memories. 1970 Datsun 240Z, 1968 MG, 1975 Renault Gordini,then I moved to Toronto and didn't think I needed a car. Lived right downtown, so rented or borrowed one when I needed.
In 1985, for I don't know what reason, bought a Hyundai Pony, new off the lot, for $5000 or something. Got to give it some credit, it took me, my husband, a black lab, budgie and African Grey parrot, plus most of our stuff, to Nova Scotia when we moved. Pretty cramped, what with the cages and all (the parrot attacked the budgie; the dog didn't know which way to lie down...) but it lasted until 1994 when it died. Sold it for $400 during a blizzard to some Russian sailors who were in town. They wanted to pay $200 plus a case of Russian vodka, but since they probably made the vodka on board their ship...(they bought up all these cars, then put them in working order on the trip back home, where they would sell them). Jeep Grand Wagoneer, some Volvos, a BMW and here I am.

My first was 1 1989 dodge Ram 4x4 with a 5.2l v8, 4" lift and 33x12.50 BF Goodrich a/t. The 94 svx I have now was my little brothers first car. He found it on ebay and my dad picked it up for him 6 hours away. Needless to say, I liked it more than him, after two years, he busted the radiator by skidding off the highway into a ditch and hit a curb going 120 IN TOWN, so the front ball joint was going out. I bought it from him, fixed her up and so the story goes....................
