1990 Plymouth Acclaim.

I laugh at all these new cars with push-button starters. The steering column fried, so thanks to the Chilton manual I was able to rig something up. Had to flip a switch for acc, push a button to start, and the horn was an old doorbell (which melted driving down 17th in the first round of '04.

Not to mention that it had a Toyota-esque acceleration issues, and reverse only worked 3 days a week.

Despite all of its nuances, it got me around with little issue. Made several trips to and from my native Kootenays. Hockey/ski/camping trips all over.

How it passed the OOP inspection is beyond me.
