1999 Chrysler Cirrus. Champagne gold exterior, black leather interior. Died 5 years later with the steering column collapsed (fortunately made it to the work parking lot).
From that point on I've leased since I figure if a purchased car won't necessarily last, why not just get a new one every 3 years. Works for me (except when I go way over mileage...).

1969 Mustang Fastback, it was sitting in a driveway with a flat tire, dead battery and a new car next to it. The yard had grass that needed cutting. I offered the guy a self-propelled mower(took the motor off my mini bike) and some cash plus, threw in a new CB radio which I had gotten for Xmas. Went to the junk yard and bought a used battery, got the tire fixed and drove it home. My mother asked where I got it and said in a trade. It clicked that I was only 15 and didn't have a license. I had to park it for 3 months til I turned 16.  |

1957 Chevy in 1963. It was great and I wish I still had it. Would cruise main street with friends and had great times in that car.
