I don't have any memorable cars...I've only had three under my name since I got my license, two of those are the same model and make.
my first car was a 1993 Eagle Summit with a 5 speed standard. I made a point to get a standard shift car as my first.
This isn't MY car...mine was a darker grey in the body color but it was in about this same 'going-to-fall-apart-any-second' condition

Then I drove a white 1992 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme SL for a while. it had a 3.1 liter V6, and one night I hit a patch of Black Ice and sideswiped a telephone pole less than 200 yards from my house. I held the hood and cried waiting for my dad to spot me out of the ditch. I'll admit that I loved that car.
I went back to the Eagle for a while, then, something incredible hhappened...I got anoter Olds. This one was better, a 1995 model with a 3.4 liter DOHC, in this shade of red. I tore apart the 1992 to fix everything on it. I've replaced the entire cooling system, fixed the drivers side door handle which broke off, the rear brakes corroded and I replaced them with the help of my dad. I replaced the starter by myself, the front struts were broken when we got it, we replaced those, dad and I. believe it or not it still drive it after I picked it up with 375,000 miles on the Odometer

EDIT: Forgot to add the irony...Right after I got the new Olds, I bought an air freshener for it. The name of the scent? Black Ice.
