Pontiac trans sport mini van was my first ride... That thing was the coolest car ever... I could easily fit 15 people in that car
To be honest, Im glad it was my first car. I got into an accident when I was 16 (t-boned and it wasnt my fault)... The mini van was totalled, but I was glad it was that car and not any of our other family cars...
My advice would be to get a car you expect to be in an accident. Safe for all passengers, but not something too nice that will cost a fortune when it is in an accident... While Im sure there are plenty of people that did not have an accident at all in their teenage years, its so much more likely at that age than at any other...
