Mine was an '86 Ford Tempo. I saved up $1,000 and planned to buy one at the auction. Turned out I had to work that day, so I entrusted my dad to go to the auction for me and get me something cool. Comes back with a god damn Tempo, and thought I'd be happy it was only $800. Thanks dad.
I hated that car. It was so lame, and it was always breaking down. I had to learn all the tricks, like the pencil in the carb, and DO NOT HIT PUDDLES because water would get in the distributor cap and sideline me for hours. And the worst part was that I slid into my buddy's Nova's steel bumper while following him somewhere, and cracked up my plastic front end. I rigged it back together with chicken wire, but it looked ridiculous. I was not willing to pay to fix the thing properly because the car was so ugly to begin with. Not even worth posting a pic. It was a fricken Tempo.
