1979 Pontiac Trans Am. I got it around 1986. I really lked that car, but it was hard affording the gas for it on what I made working part-time.

1991 VW Jetta Ecodiesal....got like 38 to the gallon. Transmission went out after about 6 months.... it was going to cost $3500 to replace, so it sat in our driveway for a couple of months, until this Mexican dude drove by the house one day and bought it for like $300.

My dad said if I get good grades this year I can have a Modena too.

He better follow through, I'll have earned it.

LOL, I think you're getting the Porsche 356 of the 50's mixed up with the Ferrari 360 Spider of today.

I think he actually meant a Ferrari 355 Spyder of the 90's (predecesor to the 360 Modena).

Yup, it was a typo.

355 is what I meant.

'87 Toyota Cressida, I6, auto.

Comfy it was, but handled like crap I thought and it needed a new power steering unit, possibly a new tranny as well, so I traded it in.. ;)

I'm guessing they figure there's no chance of that.

'85 Ford Ranger. I think our riding lawn mower could run a 1/4 faster than the ranger. It had 165,000 when we got rid of it. Same engine, transmission, and clutch :) Went through about 4 carborator rebuilds though.

My first car was a 1959 Impala. Loved those cat-eye tail lights. My second and favorite was a 1965 Impala SS, 396 four speed.

1979 Datsun 210 wagon.... a beat up piece of junk when I got it, but I could fit an amazing amount of stuff in that car.... Slow as hell but the engine was near bulletproof...
