My favorite car to talk about is my first car. I bought it for $800 cash with money I had saved up working at a grocery store and delivering lobsters. It was a 1980 Ford Escort. It had a manual choke and a single radio speaker in the middle of the top of the dashboard. I hadn't drove a stick before I got it, so it made for a good learning experience too! I was a teen a the time, so I thought it was cool, especially with my sailboard strapped to the top of it.
I bought a $100 Opel Rekord while stationed in Germany. I don't know how many tours that thing had been passed on for $100 a pop. Before I left Germany I passed it on for $100. It barely passed inspection when I had it, so it probably didn't last much longer. That's the car my wife learned to drive a stick in around the outside of the airfield in Babenhausen. I thought she was going to give me whiplash! LOL!
My other cars have been plain jane nothing much to speak of. My most reliable car was a Chevy Lumina (car ran great forever except the yearly alternator swap out and all Luminas tend to lose at least one hubcap).
