Personal Narrative: My First Car
“My First Car”
Most people dream about what kind of car they want to get when they start driving. First cars are really special. Like most teenagers, I had to settle for a used car even if it was not my dream car. My first car was my most memorable car because I got my license in it, it was all mine, and I had a wreck in it.
When it was time for me to get my license, I did not have a car. I had practiced driving my sister’s car because it was much smaller than my mom’s SUV or my dad’s truck. It was a silver, four-door 2000 Toyota Camry. I drove that Toyota when I took my test to get my driver’s license.

The airbags popped out and hit me in the face. After we stopped spinning I asked my friends if they were ok. Fortunately, none of us got hurt. I had to call my parents and tell them that I wrecked the car. The police came and gave me a ticket and showed me at fault in the wreck. The wrecker picked up the car and took it to the body shop. The insurance adjuster looked at the car and said it was totaled. I had to wait a long time before my parents would even consider getting me another car. I had to go back to waiting for someone to pick me or asking somebody else for a ride. Although wrecking my car will always be an unpleasant memory of my first car, it taught me a valuable lesson about driving safely.
My first car was my most memorable car because I got my license in it, it belonged to me, and I destroyed it in a wreck. Even though the Toyota Camry was not my dream car, I was extremely happy to have a good, dependable car that gave me a sense of freedom. All people remember the first car they had. I have a different car now, but I will always remember that Toyota Camry with fond
