1982 Mercedes 240D with 300k miles and the original clutch. In highschool I took it to the drag strip at Sears Point and did the 1/4mile at about 17 seconds. I don't know what my 0-60 was, i didn't make it to 60. Awesome car.

1982 Datsun diesel pick-up truck. By far the best value on a car I've ever come across. I bought it for $200 and it had probably 1,000,000 miles on it. I drove it for years and then gave it to my younger sister, who gave it to my younger brother who gave it to my mom who eventually sold it for $500. It had a top speed of about 70mph but low end torque was awesome. It could climb anything.

My first car was a '77 Fiat Spider. Rust colored with tinges of maroon paint. I got it for 800 bucks. What a sweet car - top down, 5-speed, and the battery in the trunk. I loved that car until winter hit in Colorado. It was really fine, except that it didn't have a working defroster. I got tired of waiting around to look out the windshield. It was the Fiat of cars, though. I sold the car for 800 bucks.

My brother and I shared a '78 Datsun longbed pickup, which was yellow. It was purchased for 200 bucks in Nebraska and driven out to Colorado. We had to patch the floor with sheetmetal because it was a full-on Flinstonemobile. We put a rockin' tapedeck in it. Then we put a new bed on the truck (junkyard) becasue the old one was falling off due to rust. We repainted the whole thing a single shade of yellow (Maaco) and it was on. We loved that truck. It lasted forever and never had any problems. I think my mom sold it for 500 bucks a few years ago.

1983 Chevrolet Camaro - no AC, no power anything, hole in the exhaust, and stalled if I turned a 90 degree corner without giving it at least a little gas.

1989 Mazda 323. Gift from dad. Totaled when I was T-boned by a drunk driver the day I returned to Indiana following my old man's funeral. I came out of it with a concussion, three broken ribs, and 25 stitches. I was wearing my belt, which cracked my ribs but likely saved my life.

After that I picked up a total balla brown 89 Mercury Sable. I traded that to my brother in law in exchange for an AR-15 (legally) after I bought my first new car, a 1998 Mazda 626.

That was traded for the next new car (that the Warden drives), and her old heap was traded in when I got my 2004 F150.
