I have 3 memorable cars. The first being my very first RX-7, it was a beat up old girl, an '85, brown, big *** dent in the fender, but she was beautiful to me and I drove that car so hard, and of course planted the seed for my lust of the rotary.
the second and third are cars one of my best friends from high schools dad owned. the first one I drove was a 1966 Hemi Charger. Slightly tuned but insane to drive. it was an auto and when you would sit at a stop sign it would slowly turn over the rear tires -chirp, chirp, chirp-
and the third was a 1970 Superbird, painted up like the old Petty car, that baby blue with all the correct badging, even a side dump exaust that could be activated from under the car via a slide mechanism he rigged up. Open up the side dumps, which were basically open header, and listen to that 440 six pack roar.

Most memorable car is the FC I used to own prior to my current FD. It was the first car I ever drove that had a turbo. I drove it the length of a parking lot(and a small parking lot at that). I never left first gear. I didn't launch. Eased out of the gas and punched it. Turbo spools and BAM! 7000 rpms.... 
I almost **** myself. Now I prowl around with 400~ rwhp daily driving but still think of that FIRST time I drove a turbo rotary....

Id like to change my vote.
The first time I drove my friends Geo Metro. It was the first 3 cylinder car I ever got the opportunity to drive. I was just on a small road so I didn't get to go to its full possibilities, I just got it into first, punched the gas and the BAM not a damn thing happened.
