Citroen Saxo, everything was SO cheap. I remember I had to replace a side mirror and a new one was like … 30€? And I was able to do it myself.
Replacing a side mirror on my Octavia was almost 500€!
That i bought it for $400 and traded it in for $600, also it had a nice big back seat.
I’ve never owned a car. That’s my favourite thing about cars
must be nice. European? or NYC
Australian
All ya need is a pair of thongs
Thongs are perfect for when I’m chuckin’ a sicky, but still have to grab some snags from the corner store and some goon from the bottlo for the barbie on the weekend. Me mates 'll be devo if we end up eating Maccas again…
And ya neva hafta deal with rego

I’ve never owned it.
I could start it with a coin, then lock the doors, do something else while it warmed up, and unlock the doors with the actual key. It was like my own ghetto remote starting system.
When I worked for USPS as a carrier, my LLV (the mail truck) was older than I was by a year. I could also put the key in the ignition, start it, and then completely remove the key and the truck would keep running.
That kinda shit cracks me up, hahaha
Right, me too! It was the same with my car, which was a 1991 Ford Escort GT.
Sunroof.
It had wheels and an engine, I was finally able to get out of my hometown on my own power.
It’s non-existent wheel base. The turning radius was practically within the same lane. God I miss my 91 Honda CRX Si.
It was my grandmother’s, and I was the 5th owner after she passed away. Manual windows, manual locks, and a fully-metal body. By the time I got it, it was so quirky, I loved everything about it.
- The horn was dying, so if you held it for longer than 2-3 seconds, it sounded like the doppler effect,
- Since the hood was metal, the horn would make it vibrate a little and the car sounded like it was begging to be put out of its misery,
- The brakes screamed when you came to a stop, but only at speeds under 10 mph, so I basically scared the shit out of every drive-thru worker I encountered,
- Our family dog knocked the rear view mirror off with her head, and after 5 months, we finally glued it back on, only for her to do it again a week later, so I learned to drive with only my sideview mirrors,
- The parking brake basically couldn’t be relied on because the previous owner, my sister, drove it for about 6 months with the parking brake fully engaged, complaining to my dad constantly that it had no acceleration.
Was a beautiful, green, Kia Sephia, and I miss that car more than some family members. My second car had another favorite quirk: the driver’s window motor died, so the window wouldn’t roll up or down. So, being the high school chucklefuck that I was, I’d go through drive-thrus in reverse if I had a friend in the passenger seat (also without a rearview mirror, thanks to the aforementioned dog).
All the staff used to come to the window laughing, and one manager gave us real shit for it despite their being no signs or anything indicating we couldn’t.
Sigh my younger days, cars today are just too boring 😂
That it was mine 😂
Yellow 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX. Ugly-ass car, but had a 6-CD changer standard and despite a rating of 20mpg by my calculations I got around 40-ish mpg. As a teenager working a retail job at minimum wage, it was awesome.
It never broke down. Didn’t change oil, didn’t check water, just gassed it up and drove.
AMC in-line 6-cylinder. They don’t make them like that anymore.
I had 10" subs in my 08 Hyundai Tiburon
It had a working car phone. In the 2000s. It was rad.
I drove it across country (US) from east coast to west coast and back without my parents knowing. It was a fun week.
