It's going to be hard to find a cooler first car than that.
Okay, maybe late to the game but I have always thought my first car was pretty cool; a 1968 MGB, wire wheels and British Racing Green. Me in like 1972 in Dubuque. Love driving an underpowered manual around the Prairie Street neighborhood steep hills. Not. Like the @JSmoove VW it had a car smell. Mine was gas, oil, leather and a touch of fried out Lucas electric toggle switches. Not my best car ever but likely will always be my fav car.
