First Car Memories from Our Sales Team

First Car Memories from Our Sales Team

We all remember our first car.

Whether it barely ran or felt like the coolest thing in the world, there’s something unforgettable about the vehicle that gave us our first taste of freedom.

We asked the Dream Work Automotive sales crew to take a trip down memory lane.

Here’s what they had to say:

Josh – 1995 Dodge Neon (Purple, $50 Deal)

“My first car was a bright purple '95 Dodge Neon that I bought for $50. Yep, fifty bucks. It ran... most of the time. But hey, it got me where I needed to go—and made sure no one ever missed me pulling up!”

Marcus – 1998 Buick Regal (White with Burgundy Leather)

“I got this '98 Buick Regal for $500. It was white with deep burgundy leather seats—looked like a lounge on wheels. It felt like luxury at the time. Windows down, music up. That Buick held me down.”

JG – 1993 Dodge Shadow (Emerald Green, V6)

“I drove a '93 Dodge Shadowemerald green with a V6 3.2L under the hood. Paid a couple hundred for it, and it moved. Not the flashiest, but it had heart. That was my intro to performance.”

Yousif – 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe (Gold + Cargo for Days)

“My first was a gold 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. Not the fastest, but it had a ton of cargo space—perfect for hauling friends, basketball gear, and way too many snacks. Solid first ride!”

Anton – 1997 Monte Carlo (Maroon with 22s!)

“I bought a '97 Monte Carlomaroon, and the first thing I did was throw on 22-inch rims. I didn’t care how fast it was—it looked good, and that’s all that mattered. Still one of my favorite rides.”

Got a First Car Story?

We’ve all had that one car that started it all—dents, quirks, bad speakers and all.

Stop by the lot and share yours with us. We’d love to hear it.

Or better yet—let us help you make your next car just as unforgettable.
