My dad got me all excited when he told me we were gonna find a good used Camaro. Well, that lasted until he saw how much used Camaro's were going for. Didn't get a car until my 18th birthday. What I ended up with was a brand new 1984 baby blue Ford Escort hatchback. It sure wasn't my first choice but my folks paid half. I've heard sewing machines run louder. Only had an AM radio, so I ran around with a boombox in the back seat until one of my friends took it to automotive class and put a stereo in it. No ac, no power anything and I drove the crap out of it. Paul used to pick it up and move it around -- made me so mad! When we got married, we traded it for a truck cause he just couldn't drive that little car with his knees under his chin!
