I had a 91 mazda protege that lasted me 4 years through constant abuse (beating the crap out of it, throwing it off a cliff in February, etc) But the piston seal finally let go, so I went and bought myself a 99 Kia Sephia. I was going to get a better car, but I figured the kia was a damn good price and as I'm still in college I should save some money. Although I did drop about $500 in electronics in it (Forward facing Infrared for those twisting mountain roads that deer just LOVE to stand in the middle of, a nice mp3 deck, and a rear facing camera - both the IR and Rear camera are hooked up to the same screen mounted on my dash with a toggle switch, oh yeah forgot about the radar detector I put in - just mounted the damned thing in my dash and threw the radar sensor on the rearview mirror facing out the window.)
1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass w/ 107,000 original miles. It's in pretty good shape -- garaged for 23 years (I know this for a fact because it was my grandfather's car). Recently had the power-steering pump replaced and a new exhaust system installed. Quite pimp if you ask me. Plus the insurance isn't bad and the car itself didn't cost me a dime.
I take the train to work cause it's so busy in the city, and I don't drive often because of my drinking problems...but when I do...I drive a '95 (i think) Holden Commodore VN. Gotta love old rear wheel driven 6 cylinder cars. hehe

Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.

i have a great eco friendly vehicle. it costs nothing to ensure, it doesn't have any running costs and you can go wherever you like with it. you don't even need a licence.
i use those dingly-dangly things coming out of my hips..
...legs ¬_¬

I've had my driving licence for three years now, and never owned a car. The cost of running a car, the insurance, etc. is too expensive. I don't trust my driving anyway, I dunno how the hell I managed to pass my test.
