What was the first make, model, and year vehicle you owned?

I know quite a number of people who started with Toyota and stuck with it. I was not one of them. My first vehicle was actually a beater truck. I believe it was a 1987 Silverado. It was in a blue shade and had some issues. I didn't get my Corolla until 2004 and bought it brand new. So from 1998 till then, I drove the truck. 

I started with Plymouth, moved to Chevy, ran away screaming, back to Plymouth... but when my job was 55 miles away, I went to Toyota. Gas mileage, comfort, and reliability became very important! So was a high resale value.
