First car owned i bought in 1994 and it was a 1978 VW rabbit, this weird lime green faded to cream green color. Bought it for $500 with money I earned. I was 15 1/2 when I bought it so in the 6 months i had the car but couldn't drive it I managed to scrape together money for a tape deck, two 10" subs, a cheap "roadmaster" amp, and tinted the windows 5% all the way around. lol Washed it once a week and basicaly just counted the moments untill I could drive it.
2 weeks after turning 16 a friend jumps into the drivers seat as a joke and takes off in it as a joke. His first time driving a stick and he over reved it more than a few times and we think jumped the timing chain because when he brought it back the engine was knocking horribly and ended up detonating on the ride home. lol
I bought a 1987 Civic Si hatch with help from the parents after that and loved that little car for many years...
