mine was a 88 jeep wagoneer limited edition.  no airconditioning barely a radio.  sold that for 2500 and used it to buy my 97 240SX SE 5spd.

1987 Honda Civic Hatchback DX 5 speed...like 65 horsepower, but that thing got around 35 MPG, and (at the time) would fil up for $9.00. I am looking for one of those in good condition to be my daily driver soon.

Im not sure, the first (legally) road registerable car I owned was a Peugot 504 1971, weighed about 1500kg, twin carbie 2L 4cylinder, independant suspension and 4wheel discs all round. It could be made to go fast, the fact I destroyed 2 engines in it was testimony to that, apart from that it was roomy, extreamly comfortable and probably one of the best handling cars for what it was.

Around that time I was destroying a Leyland mini and doing up a Ford escort Mk1 coupe for rally, I succeded with both cars, utterly destroying both of them is some airbourne shennigans involving large rocks, pine trees and high speed.

I miss the escort, the rest just sucked, but for I think the total amount of money I spent on all three would have been less than $2000 and it was a lot of fun.
