1968 Ford Cortina - 1600 cc of raw poWAH! (NOT). Still, it was a reasonably
fun car, and easy to work on, so I learned how to wrench on cars which has served me well thus far.

Bought it early summer 1996. Spent most of my summer job money restoring it instead of saving for college expenses. Got it running top and was able to load it up with all my stuff for a 6 hour drive to Syracuse. Now that I look back, I can't believe I took a risk and drove that far without something breaking down.

1981 VW Scirocco. Broke down on the reg. I still miss it though.
It was metalic blue 5-speed. hatch didn't lock and it was pretty scary to drive in bad weather b/c all the bushings were shot. I wasn't into cars then like I am now or I would have fixed it and kept it.
