My first car, which I started driving halfway through my high school jr year in 2002, was a 1991 Chevy Lumina Euro 3.1L. It had power windows, power steering, power locks, cassette player (2 blown out speakers on the right side), cold AC, clean interior, alloy wheels, tinted windows, new rack and pinion, and the paint kinda sucked. It had 100k miles on it when I sold it. It burned and/or leaked a little oil, and it also leaked trans fluid - probably needed a new gasket. I asked $1500 for it and took 1200. Probably should have held out for a little more for its mileage. It was a decent ride. I kinda wish I still had it to drive on rainy days.
It got me through 1.5 years of high school, and 3.5 years of college. I feel kinda guilty, because I sorta kicked it to the curb when I got my camaro during last semester of college.

it was running on insanely bald tires and i was going around a sharp ebnd on a nice narrow country road and i had bad timing since a buig ass bus pulled around the bend before i could see it and it took up mroe than its lane when turning so i corrected but my rear tires hit gravel and that was it, it landed in a ditch
