My first ride in a Mopar... don't know that I've ever ridden in a Mopar actually. I drove a Dodge van across a parking lot once.....

My first driving experience was in a 1995 Volvo 18 wheeler. I asked dad if I could go down the driveway one day... I learned why you're supposed to be easy on a clutch. First time I got in a car I expected the steering to be stiffer and mom thought I was going to flip the Suburban in the yard..

My drivers ed car was a 2002 Ford Taurus

Mousehouse, I just copied/pasted yours and changed things where applicable. :p
My first ride in a car was in a 1973 Dodge Dart Sport (unfortunately just a 318 car, not a 340). That is what my folks owned when I was born back in July of 1972.
My first ride in a Mopar would have been in the aforementioned 1973 Dodge Dart Sport.
My first love affair with a car was probably with the very same 1973 Dodge Dart Sport. I would buy one today, if the price/condition was right.
My first driving experience was in a late 70's rusted up Subaru 4x4 station wagon.
My first car was a 1980 Dodge Mirada.
The car I took my drivers test in was my aunt's early 80's Chevy Chevette, a big deal since it was a 4 speed manual. Most people tested using automatics.
I learned about love in the back of my 1983 Dodge Mirada CMX.
My first daughter came home in my 1999 Chevy Venture minivan.
My second daughter came home in my 1999 Chevy Venture minivan.
My first and only new car was a 2003 Chevy Cavalier LS Sport coupe 5 speed. I REALLY regret letting this one go.
Unfortunately, I also no longer own any of these cars.
Great thread, I had to think about it for a while and it was a nice trip down memory lane.
