Remember a couple of weeks ago when I filmed my Subaru First Car Story?
I drove down to LA, had my make-up professionally done all fancy like so I could talk about my first car like the one on https://vinmentor.com/.
I’m from outside of LA and worked at a local news station after college (I was a production assistant for the morning show – have we not talked about this?). So, all this camera stuff isn’t completely foreign to me but it was still one of the coolest experiences I’ve had from the blog!!
It was nerve-wracking and exciting and I felt like they must have picked the wrong girl. Luckily, they didn’t catch their mistake and now my first car story is ready to be revealed!
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of my favorite stories from my first car involves food. So, my webisode was filmed in the kitchen. Appropriate, no?
Despite my fear that the company execs would realize this weirdo would hurt their image they are releasing the webisode!
The entire experience was completely unreal and I didn’t want to even talk about it here until I saw the final product. (You know in case I made a fool of myself and wanted to pretend like that never happened.)
Despite my fears, it was a ton of fun! I remember my first car a.k.a “the nookie machine” very fondly. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy to think back to my days in high school driving around in that bucket of a car If you’re looking to relive those carefree days, used cars in Tucson offer affordable options that could bring back those nostalgic driving memories.
It also made me realize how lucky I was that my parents even bought me a car! You never realize how good you have it until you’re an adult living in the real world (read: paying bills) but, they dropped two thousand dollars on that blue two door and I didn’t do a thing for it. If such a car were to experience any issues, experts trained in institutions like the top-tier Auto mechanic training programs in Phoenix would be well-equipped to offer assistance.
My best friend and I would have been stuck at home all through high school if not for ‘the nook’ as I lovingly call it. So, a very very belated, “Thank you mom and dad!” is in order.
And, “Thank you for letting me hang out with that chola even though she’s nothing but trouble.” (Love you Cin)
Everyone loved their first car. No matter how beat up or broken down, it was a taste of freedom and you loved it. Even though it lasted only for a brief time, that emotional connection is an experience that unites us all.

Loved it! You did a great job and seemed so professional but like you were having fun. Congrats!
Great job, looks like a fun nerve wracking experience.
My first car was a dirt Ford Taurus, if was my dad’s hand-me-down business car that I shared with my brother. It wasn’t sexy but it got me where I needed to go!
Ummmm, you are adorable.
You are adorable!
My car is a minivan. I am not a fan of the way it looks, but the sliding doors are awesome, so I don’t have to worry about my rugrats whacking my car door into another person’s car door.
I wish I could use my chevrolegs or public transportation, but I live 40 miles from my job 🙁
I think you belong on TV
so do you still go to school when your clothes had oatmeal mess? oh your story is just so fun!!!
Ha the Nookie Machine. Cute video! My sister’s first car – a beat up Buick, was called The Sex Panther. Mine was much more adult and called the Big Blue whale, also a beat up Buick. Oh memories!
How freakin’ cool is that! Your commercial is so cute 🙂
Aw I think you did a really great job.
My car is green… which is why I named it Fiona (After Fiona from Shrek!)! I love her very much…. my first car…. not so much…. For $1000 I saved up in cash I bought a four door Subaru with no stereo or speakers! Ha… so desperate to get some wheels of my own.
Great job, Monica!!! That was awesome 🙂 You are a natural in front of the camera.
Sadly, I have also been in an oatmeal accident 🙁 you look so prettyful and confident!
I LOVE that the moral of your story was Eat Oatmeal From A Cup.
Thank you Monica, you’re hilarious!
Love the video! It’s so cute. I just recently got a new car so there are no memories of it yet.
I love the name of your first car. That’s awesome.
I just got a new car last week and it’s burgandy. I still have my old car too and it’s silver. And we have a blue driveway ornament as well. Lol.
Holy coolness Monica!!! 🙂 Love it and LOVE that prom dress. 🙂 COngrats on such a fun thing! You’re a star!!!
You were so poised. That was awesome to watch and so hilarious!
Yay! So fun. Congrats!
My car is silver. AKA The Silver Bullet. Gets us where we need to go but we’re ready for a new one.
Such a cute video! My first car was a horrible beat up Thunderbird that we called Last-leg Lily because we never knew when it was going to stop working one day. It could barely make it up hills at the end so I had to avoid driving up them at all costs. Eventually we got rid of that one and now I have a normal baby blue Suzuki that can actually drive up hills. haha. But I’ll always love Lily!
Good job on the video!! I’m impressed! So fancy!
Haha! That was an awesome video, good job! Oh, and you’re gorgeous, by the way. Have a great day!
Ohhh …. super-cute story!! Glad you could share.
No. My parents would never buy me a car. Ha. No-no. Had to buy my own which was a used Karmin Ghia convertible. Biggest gripe was the heater. Just couldn’t get warmed up enough. Loved the car though!!!
This is a fun subject. I want to learn more “first car” stories!
Chevro-legs: That’s clever
My car is TOTALLY purple although lots of people say I am crazy and that it is brown/grey. I however think they are crazy for not seeing how purple it is. I’m actually gonna do a post on it soon to prove my point! 😉 I’m a little obsessed. 🙂
Hahaha great story!
Since I’m a twin I had to share my first car–and Acura Legend–with my sister. 2 weeks after we got our license she totaled it. At first I was upset. But then I got my own car 😉
That was great!
Great job!
HAHHAHAH the nookie machine! I love it, that was awesome, lol!!!
