It was a Fiat Uno. Had a terrible tendency to slide. I do not know the technical terms in English. Road grip ??? Had a bad accident because of my love for speeding. I have not owned a car since years because the taxes and expenses are not worth it. All the traffic jam and parking problem. I used to love taking the car and driving in the night alone along the coast.
Not mine but identical.
I must have been 20, so it was in the year 2000. It had good handling but really soft suspension, so every roundabout the car would lean right over. I loved that car.
Nice! What year was it? My first car was a 1984 bimmer. It turned on a dime, I loved it.

'91 black Mercedes. Technically wasn't mine, was my grandfather's, but I lived with my grandparents and I drove it like it was mine.

Car had so many problems... But I still liked it because I was in it every day, you know how that is. Even named it Mercutio

Hahahahaa, I have so been there before. Hey, some sound is better than no sound.

Me too. My car radio died a number of times and I used my portable Sony speakers to listen to my iPod. The sound was tinny but it was better than nothing.
I got my car when it was abandoned in my dad's driveway by my sister, who had let her two young children trash it. So she left it for dead and took off. I was 18 at the time, needed a car to get to night school, so my dad was nice enough to tinker around with it enough to get it into working condition, and I'm pretty sure he sank a good amount of money into it, too. It got me through night school, then I drove it 1700 miles to Arizona State University. It stranded me in Flagstaff on the way there, needed a new water pump. During the following year it stranded me a few more times, mostly just holes in the radiator and that sort of thing. Driving it home from that first year of college was the real kicker. It stranded me, once again, on the border of New Mexico at midnight when I stopped the car at a gas station to get gas. I finally found someone with jumper cables, and I didn't turn the car off for the rest of the 1000+ miles home. I have to add that at this time the new radiator was going out again, so I had to drive through the desert with the heater running full blast to keep it from overheating. That was a very warm ride. It finally died that summer, and I had it hauled off by Goodwill and got a nice tax deduction out of it. Can't complain. As junky as it was and the inside was total crap, I loved that car, and I'm just waiting for the day when I can have a vintage bmw again. But maybe this time I'll have another more reliable car as backup in the likely event that it breaks down, haha.
I don't know how to do the picture thing but it was a 1976 Ford 4x4 truck I had in 2000. Loved it, miss it, traded it for a 1978 model Ford 4x4, 460 V8 4 speed in 2001. Both of these trucks looked showroom new. 2 years later a friend got a Ford Mustang that had a 5.0 Ford engine with a Richmond 5 speed and a supercharger and we THOUGHT in our teenage minds that we could outrun a highway patrol car one night when I was driving, long story short we outran the cop but not his radio. The state police had the road blocked in the next county :thumbdown: If I could have grabbed 4th gear and went thru the grass median without crashing we would've gotten away. Being 17, we didn't go to jail thankfully.
