I bought a Dodge Caravan for $100 in the late 90s. It had over 300,000 miles on it and brakes on only two wheels. Two days after I bought it, I drove it from Charlotte NC to Freeport IL. Looking back, that was pretty stupid, but it worked out.

I had sex with the same chick on both a twin mattress and in the back of a 1994 Saturn prior to 2014.

'84 3 Series for $600 over in Germany. This was in 2005. It wasn't a bad little car either.

I had saved up $900 and my Grandparents matched it with a $900 LOAN. So I got a 1992 Escort GT for $1800 OTD.

Don’t mean to brag, but I got a guy down at the dealership who don’t charge me a dime over the sticker price.

A 62 Chevelle and then a 64 Mailbu both in the late 70s.

In 1980, for my 15th birthday, I bought a 1966 Chevy pickup for $150. V8, 3 on the tree, no A/C, didn’t care. Gas gauge didn’t work, but if you popped the clutch, you could hear the gas sloshing in the tank behind the seat. Good times indeed!!
