$50 1970 ford Maverick, drove it trouble free for 2 years. traded for a 74 Camaro which swore me off from GM for life. traded that for 74 VW bug, learned to work on my own car with this one, loved it except in winter with no heat. then brand new 88 toyota PU and 5liter mustang. all the while working on a 70 mustang CJ, which was later traded for a cherry 70 SCJ. along the line I got a 61 vette which I dismantedled and added tube chassis. 01 excursion for hauling toys around, got my fist MB when I needed a car for 60 mile commute, now have my 300CD with manual 4spd and 2.47 for >30 MPG and indestructable engine. too bad the A/C isnt also indestructable
. somewhere in the mix I had a brand new 98 5liter explorer xlt, loved it but couldnt pull my car trailer and a vw cabriolet which was peppy but maintainance needy
