I'm Dating myself but in 1973 I had a 1971 Ford Mustang Fast Back. This was my first car:
Mine was a metallic green in color but this was the exact body type.

I would have killed myself if I'd had a fast car when I was young. Nice though.

86 i think? or 88, late 80's or early 90's in their toyota GTS, or corolla gts w/e
5-speed car got it for free, just needed a clutch, WORTH IT, had the 1.6L Turbo 4 cylinder high output
bout 200 HP, fairly fast car, hit 180 Kms easily on the highway at 5th gear. it was reliable, though high on the mileage, bout 270 thousand on the car, half of it was highway mileage, so less wear on engine etc, it burned a little bit of oil, but i changed it often and kept'd it topped up well. The only thing i ever had to do was change the clutch when i got it, 500$, and i replaced the timing belt myself, like 40$, other then that, i do MISS it, i had the car for 2 years, very RELIABLE, but i sold it at 295,853 i believe mileage for 1500$ (car was minty) reliable good old toyodas, my reason was i got sick of driving standard, and of course it the transmission was a little slippy but it just needed some fluid tops up and the car itself a tune up. I Also hated it for my canadian winters as i always got stuck. She was great on fuel though, i bought a 83 diesel, Chevy Blazer for 2000$ IT'S A DIESEL so it worth it, reliable, 4x4, handles all seasons easily, though it's a bit heavier on gas for a diesel, fill ups bout 75-80$ Every almost 2 weeks, depends how often i drive it etc, lately not much so it's good, but she's empty lol (jobless) is capable of running on vegetable oil, alrdy have done so :P Do miss my gts, wish it were automatic, sacrifice like 20 HP, still would be good, it was cheap on gas, though i gave it Premium, gooooooooooooooooody on gas 30$ Fillups, just going to work and school and back etc, little errans and stuff, i got close to 3 weeks, and it was also a cheap plate, totalling it would write the poor small car off though. As for my current truck well, good shape, reliable diesel, HIGH KMS, but it's a diesel, just clicked 400K recently, but it goes strong, does start in the cold but sometimes i'm pounding on it to do so, diesels don't like COLD, specially these old ones. I had a stupid moron rear end the hell out of it, so it lost the back bumper, but insurances handled it, yay! Engine has been great, when i bought it, had everything was well maintained.
(I Still question what went on in the back seat lol, DETAILED immediatly.
i hope to get a job again and get something cheap on gas again, and maybe a summer ride

very close like this (not sure of year)
only red. And now that i remember i actually replaced spark plugs about 2 months after a bought it, some of the cylinders were not running because of cruddy spark plugs, i was on 2 cylinders at the free way at 90 kms and i slowed down suddenly to 60 quickly, that messed with the transmission quickly, and i could barely get it home on first gear, rofl. I was lucky to have not busted my clutch and shifter getting out of that one (was trying to not stall when a couple cylinders died) But i remember going to replace just the 2 RLY Cruddy and bad spark plugs, replaced them all for the hec of it. was like driving a fast frickin go cart, that wouldnt get past 60, i was almost in an accident when that happened. But END RESULT was a good reliable toyoda still.

2002 Ford Taurus LX! (It still is my car)
It has absolutely not features at all, just AM/FM Radio, no CD player (or tape player), but it does have power windows and locks! Oh and the trunk is big enough to fit at least 3 dead bodies.

I got an iPod FM Transmitter that does the job fine. I really don't feel like spending tons of money on this car either!
