mine was a 1990 civic hatchback DX AT i got new.

i can't remember but i think it was a 90hp lawn mower engine with 13" painted steel RC airplane wheelset.

i remember i loved the car even though it was a shitty AT and friends were all jelly i got a new car. i drove it to near 100K miles or something in 6yrs and trade it in for $1500 or something.

My first car was a 93 Thunderbird, bought it off CL for 1,000 dollars. Was in ruff shape, I immediately put in some new parts like a radiator, fuel filter, spark plugs, and couple other things to get it running. Then a buddy of mine helped me get a exhaust on it. It was the v6 not the v8, but it still pulled like crazy. I just hated the last few months I had it because the tranny would slip a lot, ended up selling it to a guy and his wife who just had a baby. Really loved the car though, lot of good memories with it.
