1979 Volkswagen Rabbit. No, I'm not THAT old, it was old when I got it!
It really was a POS and I learned alot about making a car keep going with very little means, but like your first love I have nothing but the best of memories from it.
There was that beer commercial a few years ago that said something along the lines of "You've been on a road trip in a car that had no business going on a road trip". That always makes me think of that car. I lived in Ottawa at the time and we took that car all over the east coast of Canada and the US. Everything went wrong with the car every time but never anything that prevented it from getting us home. If it had failed on any of our adventures we were truly screwed as we had no money to fix it but it got us home every time.
Great memories of that car and what it did for me/us.
