    Drove a 92 Camry from 04 to 09, bought it for 2300, sold it for 400, put ~400 in it in repairs in total.

      Just hit 100,000 miles. My actual car is banged up, so here is a pretty picture of it.
      2000 Chrysler 300M. Bought it from my dad for $2,000 when I was 17.


      Buying my first car under my name once this one dies. Probably within the next few years.

            If I could go out and buy another one of these and actually trust it to not implode in a vehicular collision, I'd probably buy it right now. I miss my punto with no power steering or rev counter doing 100 mph down the motorway

            You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

              OK, maybe not completely ideal for a teenager.

                For some reason when I was 16 I really wanted one of these:



                A 1969 AMC AMX. It was a shortened version of American Motors pony car the AMC Javelin so that it was a two seater instead of a 2+2. Our neighbor was selling one with the 390 CI V-8 and a four speed and I almost got my dad to buy it for me but, in the end, he decided it was too much car for a 16 year old and we fixed the old bug my sister used to drive instead. As much fun as a 6.4 liter V-8 powered 2 seater would have been I have to admit I probably would have crashed it at age 16.

                  to Spaced Cowboy and Uncle Sparky for their Pontiacs.

                  Turns out I'm a big fan. (My dad used to drive Bonnevilles, and my wife still does.) Still PO'd at GM for killing their only decent nameplate.

                    The car in front of me kicked up a broken tire on the road, turns out when rubber slams into your car at 80mph it causes some damage.

                      Yikes! I hit a muffler/exhaust pipe on the highway. It flipped up and scraped the **** out of the side of my car. My buddy had has arm out the window too. I shudder to think what could have happened to his arm if the metal hit him.

                              Not this exact one, but very similar.



                              EH shaggin' wagon.

                              Here's a picture of the actual car, with my grandmother sitting in the cockpit. Those stylish young men are me and my brother, circa 1988
