1970 Chevy Nova Gold Four Door 327. I literally ran the tires off of it. My uncle bought it for me when i was 16 years old for $50 from a neighbor that was moving. Jumped it over rail road tracks. I use to drive down alley ways and ram down sections of people's fence. Shot BBs at the windows when it was on its last leg. Definitely got my money out of it.
'76 Volvo 244DL
"the white lightning" - 4 speed, blue cloth interior. Paid $600 in 1988 ... had all sorts of starter issues but as long as i parked it facing down a hill i could always kick it into action (for u youngsters that don't know about driving stick you can pop the clutch to get a car going)

Mine was a '72 Mercury Cougar, rusted out piece of shit. I bought it from one of my mom's friends for 25 bucks, lol. She had just inherited some money and just wanted to dump the car because she was going to buy something new.
One of the last times I drove it, I was on my way to school and stopped at a red light, on a hill, nose pointing down, 2 cars in front of me. When I feel my foot on the brake just go straight to the floor and the car starts to roll forward. Panicked, I start pumping the brakes. Brakes came back about a hair before I was about to hit the car in front of me. Told my mom what happened and she wouldn't let me drive it again. Ended up selling it to some guy for 300 bucks, lol.
Here is a pic of what it kind of looked like, but mine was in worse shape.

1991 Geo Prizm
That would have still be a shitty car back in 2000... but mine was even worse... For instance, Mileage and Speedometer didn't work... so I never knew how fast I was going....
The cloth on the ceiling was held up by tape...
Oh, man, the passanger side door, the handle was broke, like plastic smashed.. there was a little trick to opening it... hahaha not sure how I ever got laid in HS with this car...
The back bumper was slightly bent...
the muffler was literally attached to a bungee cord....
I bought a new battery... and then told me mom to sell it as I was working and bought a different car... note on refridge one day saying sold your car, money on the table... it was $40....
hno:
A couple years later, sure enough that little car was still running around my town. It was 140k when the mileage stopped working... lasted at least 4 more years.
