1962 Chevy Biscayne, 4-door, 6 cylinder, black in color, floorboards in front seat rusted out, so I put metal service station gas signs in the floorboard to cover the holes. No radio, no air, damn little heat. $400 which I borrowed from the bank. Banker was family friend. No paperwork, handed me the cash, told me I could pay back $5 a week as I was making $10 a week working about 30 or so hours.

Fresh off the boat in Australia in 2000 and needed some wheels quick. Bought a mustard yellow 1976 Toyota Carona for $200. It was ugly as sin but had a good engine in it, and got me from point A to point B. I had it for about a year and helped me get established down there, so I considered it a good car.
