Shamelessly stolen from /r/askreddit.
My first car, a 1973 Dodge Charger. This is a representative picture, not my actual car.
I bought it for $750 with no engine or transmission (but it came with a bunch of tools). It was a stock automatic but I converted it to a 4-speed manual in the process of building it back up.
I probably spent twice as much time working on it than I did driving it before I totalled it. That was very sad.
My BMW E36 convertible 1995. I really love driving it. I can’t believe it is almost 30yrs old.
I miss my geo metro. Bought it for $350, it was super easy to work on, and the 3 cylinder engine was so pathetic it was amusing. The person I bought it from had painted flames up the front and back. You couldn’t help laughing at yourself when you drove it.
Non-practical, 2010 Ford Focus RS Mk2, had to sell it when I got a bonus family and started to commute 300 km almost every day.
Practical, 2018 Volvo V90 CC, perfect in every way, except that the rear lights had to be replaced once a year, and one of the buttons on the steering wheel every second year.
First car I bought for myself in college was a 2016 Volvo S60 with 110,000 miles on it after the car my parents got me threw the timing belt on the way to class. It’s tiny as hell, but I love that car. Now, after a few years, we’re pushing 200,000 miles and the only thing it ever needed besides regular maintenance is an oil pan gasket. I have a kid now and I can’t even fit a car seat in the back seat without moving the front seat all the way forward. I know I have to get rid of it soon and it breaks my heart.
Mercedes clc 200 kompressor from 2009 exactly the right amount of technology and the feeling when driving is just amazing
