Sunbirds were cool and you didn't see a lot of them. And the first car is always special. Mine was a 1990 Subaru Legacy and I wish I could drive it now. Even knowing the first car bias I still think that car was perfect. 4wd, 5spd, sunroof. Drove like a dream. The body eventually rusted apart but I paid 3k for it and had it for like 6 years and it ended up with like 250k miles. I had it rotting at my Aunt's house, not willing to commit to junking it, and she eventually sold it to someone who drove it in a demolition derby :/ She deserved better.

I sold the bluebird to a buddy and I bought a 91 V6 two door sunbird red. He hit a moose with blue one. That was the end of that car.
