62 Ford unibody shortbed. Cost me $100. Straight six and three on the tree. Ran like a champ. If you loaded the bed with a lot of weight you could no longer open the doors to get in or out.

My uncle was a mechanic. He spent a lot of time getting that car into good condition. It was the last car we worked on before he died of cancer.

The price.

Bought a used '96 Mazda Protégé off a coworker for $700. Ran it into the ground. Scrapped it for $300 when I could finally afford a better car. Definitely got my money's worth.

I got to learn what driving without power steering felt like after the compressor locked up and the drive belt shredded. Ended up replacing it with a smaller belt just for the power steering since I couldn't afford to replace the A/C. Drove with the windows down for a few months. Good times.

Citroen Saxo, everything was SO cheap. I remember I had to replace a side mirror and a new one was like ... 30€? And I was able to do it myself.

Replacing a side mirror on my Octavia was almost 500€!

1993 Buick Regal, it had the 3800 engine which is arguably the best engine that GM has ever made. They (the engines) are still sought after today. I drove it to 297,000 miles and got rid of it as the transmission was going out.

It’s non-existent wheel base. The turning radius was practically within the same lane. God I miss my 91 Honda CRX Si.

I've never owned it.

Honda accord sedan with flip up headlights.

2003 (?) Volvo V40 Diesel: TBH, the car radio. Having a place of my own to play as loud I want was really nice. Second to that, the seats.

Funny, that with Volvo being known for safety and all, I had to sell this car, because from one day to another the brakes stopped working without me almost not noticing until I was on a major road (rural area and engine breaking to the rescue). Someone said, the brakes breaking was a economic crash for the car.

It weighed more than my first girlfriend.

Yellow 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX. Ugly-ass car, but had a 6-CD changer standard and despite a rating of 20mpg by my calculations I got around 40-ish mpg. As a teenager working a retail job at minimum wage, it was awesome.

It had a Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra bumper sticker on it. Pre-installed.

It had a working car phone. In the 2000s. It was rad.

That it was mine 😂

It never broke down. Didn't change oil, didn't check water, just gassed it up and drove.

AMC in-line 6-cylinder. They don't make them like that anymore.

I had 10" subs in my 08 Hyundai Tiburon

I drove it across country (US) from east coast to west coast and back without my parents knowing. It was a fun week.

That I could fill up the whole tank for like $8. Gas was 89 cents a gallon back in my day.

An Alpine radio and phone dock meant I was streaming podcasts way before it was cool.

The first song I rode it to: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=83mhHOytg4U

I just got my first car last summer, I was 36 and bought myself a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV Hatchback, almost new.

Currently my favourite thing is the electric mode, I love being able to slienty sneak around in residential areas with a smooth ride snd disturbing noone.

Also, the heated steering wheel is just bloody fantastic, especially to have it as a real button on the steering wheel.

Bench front seat and when I floored it, it would burn rubber up to about 50mph. I bought it when I was 14.
