The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

1989 Pontiac Tempest - Maroon. Bought it for Cdn $5,000 in 1991 few months after getting my first job. My hubby (then fiance) split it down $2,500 each. I saved every penny I've got to get a car after waiting in -25C with bus stop full of smokers. Transport it to BC using truck for $750. I used it until its last leg, fix it up one more time and used by my parents until they barter it for $250 to the dealer. Reliable car and served us well. Like Albert for Bruce Wayne...

1989 Nissan Pulsar.

I worked all summer to put a kick ass stereo in it. The Stereo cost more than the car. I think it cost about 5 dollars to fill up though.

 Um.  I never looked underneath, so ???
 I got the ticket heading downhill into a coulee oustide Red Deer (really strong tail wind).
 I liked that vehicle, though I drove it mostly in AB and I'm a seriously bad winter driver at the best of times.  The short wheel-base led to a lot of 180 spin-outs-- luckily I usually finished work and drove home in the middle of the night when noone else was out driving.
 I also remember that when you locked the front hubs and put in into 4x4 mode, it felt like you had power steering...
