1978 VW Scirocco.

Piece. Of. Sh*t.

The first vehicle I had that would actually get me around was a 1974 Toyota Landcruiser. The doors were easy to pick, and the key cylinder was so worn out you could start it with a dime. People at school used to "borrow" it all the time. Good little truck though!

2001 Grand Am SE. Bought it used in Summer '04. Still driving it today, but I'm starting to really consider buying a new car soon. Only 137km too, which is pretty good for an 11 year old car.

1975 Dodge Dart, yellow with rust 'accents'. It had a slant 6 engine which is one of the most indestructible engines ever built. Cost me $500 of paper route/snow shovelling/lawn mowing money. I loved that car even though it was a complete piece of junk. It got me from A to B, that's all that mattered.

1984 Chev Chevette. Had to take a crash course in driving a standard from my brother to get it home. Rolled through stop signs in my hometown for the first couple years because I always managed to stall it coming to a full stop. Good thing it was a town of 300 people, you tend to not have much traffic.

Eight year old '79 Honda Civic, red in color. It was a POS to be sure.

1984 Ford Mustang 5.0L Coupe.

Yeah, when I got it it wasnt fast, but it was fun! Also, I remember my first winter with it, the thing would start no matter what the temperature and I was driving it around on El Cheapo Canadian Tire All Seasons.

500 pounds of sand in the trunk worked wonders.

1982 ford Escort GT. This baby had vinyl seats with fake wool centers. It was such a p.o.s. that I bought it for $850 bucks with my own money and then when we had to get it inspected it failed and without telling me my parents sank another 1200 into repairs because I was so excited that I purchased my own car.

1986 Skoda 120 GLS

Orange with purple interior. Man, I miss that car. Much like this one:

How do you double the price of a skoda?
Fill up the tank

Why do skodas have heated rear windscreens?
To keep your hands warm while your pushing it.

What's the difference between a Skoda and a Jehovah's Witness?
You can shut the door on a Jehovah's Witness.
