Oh man, my college car was the worst. It was a 1974 Alfa Romeo Berlina.

"Features" included:

* 260,000 miles
* painted three different colors
* often needed to be push-started since the starter was AFU
* no A/C
* oil fumes in car
* exhaust fumes in car
* antifreeze fumes in car
* gearbox fumes in car
* burned wire smell in car
* junk gearbox
* singing rear diff
* crap tires
* junk suspension
* sh*t electrics
* was hit in @ss and had a tucked rear
* sawed through the radiator with the front core support
* once locked the steering column while I drove down the highway
* once threw the alternator charge wire on the road far from civilization
* once lost the Pittman arm while driving
* once spit the gearbox drain plug on the highway
* falling headliner
* collapsed exhaust heated the floor and melted my shoes
* once measured on-highway cabin noise at 102dBA
* no radio

Man what a neodymium babe magnet. Too bad the car and the babes had the same polarity (ReeeeeeJECTED!)
