Make: Dodge
Model: Ares
Year: 1988
Color: Tan

Car was an absolute piece of crap. You turn on the maplight and the electrical system crapped out. You open the rear passenger door, the electrical system crapped out. It died within the 6 months I owned it.

That said, it made for a memorable car.

1996 Ruby Pearl Nissan Maxima SE
Fun car till I killed it in San Francisco on my cross country move.

RIP Mad Max

Gas was cheap enough that I didn't even think about it... prolly around $1/gal

so your dad didnt mind you driving a car that wouldnt stop good enough for him? lol, that cracks me up.

Ya, me too... the reasoning was that he had a long way to drive/i shouldnt be driving fast anyways... logical, i know

'97 Hyundai Elantra, rebuilt, bought in 2000 with 35000 miles on it.
I still have it, I think it's somewhere between 90000 and 100000 miles.
Highway mileage is 30-35mpg, depending on how much junk I'm carrying.

Make: Dodge
Model: 600 convertible
Year: 1986
Color: Maroon
Gas Price at the time: Around $1/gallon

The body was in decent shape, but the shocks were pretty bad. The windows leaked because they didn't quite seal with the convertible top. The engine had no pep whatsoever. Still, it was a good first car, and I upgraded to a new '99 Ford Ranger 2 1/2 years later.
