Beautiful '85 Volvo Station Wagon. Except mine was a lovely blue. It also came from my mom with about 238k miles on it. Silly old beast it was, but it turned on a freakin' dime.
First car I bought on my own was a '68 Cougar. Painted an ugly silver and it always ran like garbage, but it was loud enough to set off every car alarm down my street so I was happy.
