1976 Plymouth Volare station wagon, "Spanish Gold", three on the floor, stick about 3 feet long. Affectionately known as the Tank or the UAV (Urban Assault Vehicle).
The greatest car ever made. I always knew my girlfriend loved me for me and not my car.

Had a 1981 Audi 4000, dark blue. It's a classic now, but my brother owns it while I went on to another Audi.

VW Beetle. Bought it for £1 from a guy 2 doors down from me. It only had half an engine, but as I was only 10 years old at the time I didn't care. I had it for a year, but had to abandon it when we moved.

My first car was a brown 1977 Mini 850. Got it from my cousin for a hundred quid. The chicks loved it "oh its so cute!". This was during my college years, once I fit 8 people in the little thing...

The new BMW minis are not like real minis.

A chick with a Jetta? I'll believe it when I see it.
I got the 'rents 1989 Dodge Caravan the summer before my senior year of college. "Gwen" was the car I learned to drive on and I had loads of practice lugging her back and forth from Ohio without a tape or CD player. I still miss her and harbor the tiniest bit of resentment toward my little sister for her untimely demise.

1969 Pontiac Firebird, original straight six 4.1 liter with overhead cam, automatic transmission. Try finding an f-ing factory re-built starter for THAT! The guys at the pontiac dealership just stared at me when I told them what motor was in it and what I needed, new starter. They came back and asked me twice if I was sure that was what I had.
I still have the car, 8 years later. I got it just before my 16th b-day and right now it is in Norway, where I will be in a little over a month. Very soon it is going to be fully restored and I can't freakin' wait! I'll post pics as soon as it happens.
