Doesn't beat my magnificent 1st car from 1981, a 1965 Dodge A100 van with 120K miles on it, complete with back firing engine, hole in the floor, shredded seats, rotting wheels, rotting frame all for the bargain price of $230 dollars. Look at that proud owner!

Lol, mine was a Buick Somerset that was about 15 years old, no radio, no A/C, all the felt on the roof was falling off so it had to be routinely stapled back up, and the steering column was messed up so to start it I had to turn the key AND lever something inside the steering column with a screwdriver inserted into a hole to get it to start.

I replaced that steering column with one that didn’t match the color of the rest of the interior, sawed a hole in the dashboard to cram a CD player in there, and drove that thing until it died. Then I got an Oldsmobile that was 7 years older, with a completely rusted hood and holes in the floor, but hey, at least it had a V-8 :)

My first car...a 1960's something Austin Healy Sprite...I pulled the engine and did all kinds of cool things to it...added a roll bar and sold it when I was drafted.

LOL Not to mention a vehicle like that makes nice target practice when it finally dies. :D

I put a few holes in old pickup trucks and it was fun.
