'75 Dodge Dart, banana yellow in colour (with some rustholes...to make it look mean), slant 6 (most unbreakable engine ever built), basically no brakes to speak of, 160,000 miles (not kms) when I bought it.
I'm not kidding about the brakes, if I had to stop at redlights, and there was someone in front of me, I was sweating bullets, because the damn thing would stop fine, but after a couple seconds the brake pedal would start creeping towards the floor, and once it contacted the floor, that was it, I was moving forward whether I wanted to or not...it was ridiculous, but still makes me laugh when I think of it (luckily, I never had an acccident with that car, I think God took pity on me for having to drive such a piece of junk at 16 when most of my friends had Camaros or Mustangs etc).
Cost me $550 (thanks, crappy Woolco stockman job!), bought in '86 from some guy who had it advertised in the Bargain finder. Owned it for 2 1/2 years, never put a drop of oil in it, sold it for $500.
I wouldn't be shocked if that damn car is still running.
Ahh, memories.
