    my first car is a 2000 Dodge Stratus. i love it and yes i still have it. I didn't have to buy it. it was inherited to my from my grandpa. (wonders of being the only grandchild lol) at first mom and i drove it cuz i didn't have my license when i first got it. but once i went to college that car was pretty much mine and mom had to get another car. at first i did have some major problems with it. i had to get a new alternator, spark plugs, battery (the one that came with the alternator had a defect. kinda funny though the guy to was going to tow my car started it up just fine but with me it wouldn't start at all), ball bearings, some body work, and breaks. I just got a new tie rod replaced on it and had to buy a new gas cap cuz the old one was letting in air and it kept triggering my check engine sensor. i also had my back bumper fall off after someone backed into me in the college's parking lot (apparently that is a common problem with the Stratus and the Intrepid according to my aunt). i think alot of these problems were cuz the car didn't get out of my grandpa's garage for 5 months or 3 years i can't remember when he got the car to when he got sick.

    A 1973 Holden LJ Torana. Was 19 at the time and thought I was Dom Toretto. Didn't take long to find out how much of a deathtrap the damn thing was. Still, it brought a smile to my face every time i drove it, well, when it ran properly anyway... :p

    A boxy old white Ford Escort back in the early nineties. Secondhand from my brother. Four gears and a manual choke. It hated the Winter and once died on a roundabout in rush hour during a blizzard and wouldn't restart. I was so popular with the other motorists that day. :p 
    In the end I gave it free to a family friend and he drove it until he blew up the engine doing top speed on a dual carriageway.
