My first car was a 1991 Acura Integra. I loved that thing. Had it a few years, then I hit some ice one morning and wrapped it around some old F150 with a I-beam for a rear bumper

I had a 1989 Golf Diesel I bought for $950 with 366000km and put another 15000 before I sold it a year later for $400 to some poor sap. I could rock like a rocking chair in the drivers seat the floor was so gone and need plywood in the backseat on the floor where you could actually put your hand through! Ah I loved Quebec when I lived there...no safety for cars over 10yrs old or something like that...so many memories! Got 900km on one tank!

I had an 84 Corolla as my first car. It was totalled when some guy rear ended it while my brother was driving on the highway. Had that car about a year. Good little car. Second car was 93 Tercel, base model 4 speed manual which I had for about 5 years. Nothing fancy but the thing did what it needed to do well and I miss it everytime I pull my truck into the gas station. I put about 90,000 miles on that thing (it came with 100,000 miles on it when I bought it). When I bought my truck 2 years ago the guy who sold me his truck needed a reliable car so I basically gave him money plus my car to buy his truck. He sold my Tercel a year later for more than I expected! But I did keep it very well maintained.

An aqua/green (except for rust areas) '61 VW Bug, all 36 hp. I once got it up to 88 mph going down a mountain but the oil light came on so I backed off. It was the car that made me think oversteer was the natural balance of all cars, heh.
