1980 Firebird bought in 1991ish, for 1,200, sold in 1996 for 1,500

Tail lights lit up to say FIRE. BIRD.

Custom hand carved Judas * Priest in the center console.

Hole in the drivers side acceleration/brake that would freeze your toes in the winter

Water would accumulate in the non existant footspace of the driver side back seat passenger that would create a block of ice in the winter (generally filled with trash: cigarette boxes, phone books, water bottles)

Ran for 2 years without changing the oil drivers side door would randomly open on right hand turns

Exhaust rusted through the catalytic converter somewhere in Iowa driving to NY for school, got it wired up at a garage & then a straight pipe put in in Missouri.

Heater stopped working for the wonderful NY winters

Took me across the US twice, up and down the East Coast of the US a couple times.

Basically, everything. Best. Car. Ever.
