1982 Honda Accord DX...the dx stood for deluxe which included roll-up windows and manual door locks. It was a Canadian car and I have no idea how it ended up in Texas.

It was still running strong at 260,xxx miles when I sold it in 1994.

1994 Volkswagen Golf. Went through a flex coupling on the exhaust every three or four months but otherwise took a pretty good beating. Got totalled when a lady decided to park her Chevy Cavalier perpendicular to traffic on a main road, on a curve, at twilight, in the rain, right in front of me.

In "The Fast and the Furious", the chassis twisted due to the engine torque. Well, my Golf twisted the chassis completely as it punched her rear axle a full foot out the other side of the car before spinning across five lanes of traffic. The car was permanently twisted along its entire length.

1993 Jeep wrangler. Looked kind of like this (but older)




POS in the snow but for some reason the HS girls loved it. Must have been the no top/no doors thing
Really? I used to help a guy deliver paper ads on Sundays and we'd take his Jeep everywhere. In the winter, it was virtually unstoppable. The short wheelbase sometimes wasn't so good but the 4WD and winter tires allowed him to usually not even snowblow his LONG driveway to get out after a snowstorm.

At the time I lived in Park City, UT which gets around 350+ inches snow/yr and we had a relatively steep (and oddly curved) driveway, so that probably had something to do with it.
