A shiny new red 77 Trans Am I bought with 1k down and a 60 month (unheard of at the time) loan for 6k. It had the gold eagle on the hood, T-top and the 6.6 TA engine. 3 weeks later a drunk ran a red light and destroyed it. Thanks goodness I walked away.

My third car, also at 17, was a '69 Charger R/T with the 440 Magnum. What a ride!

Honda Accord. Old but reliable as heck. Definitely one of the best cars I have ever owned. Selling it was...an ok decision for what I needed at the time, but I'll say one thing, few cars are that good and that reliable.
