How about a Camaro sport coupe 88 F body (POS)
I CANT ESCAPE THE GOLD! !!! !! ! ! !
I painted the gold off got sick of the 80`* theme...
I somehow ended up with this... not to mention the expensive engine I put in there. But the car was the biggest Fbody lemon known to man.. that was it I sold the damn thing for 1500 . never buy a FBody unless ur sure about it.

First car... 1993 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight... was my dad'* car, he gave it to us kids to drive. I was a high school student concerned about image and didn't want to drive an old car like that... but I gotta say, it was the most comfortable car ever... plush leather seats, V8, power everything, climate control to boot!
One of my younger brothers wrecked it, then we bought an Olds 88 station wagon and put the front end of it on the Ninety-Eight! Before we did that, it was grey
My older brother is on top of the car in this photo.
Long before the demise of the Ninety-Eight, I started driving a 92 Chevy Lumina.. its the grey one in the photo
After that, I drove a 90 Chevy Lumina at college (I don't have a picture scanned in and am too lazy to look for one)
After that, I drove the 93 Chevy Lumina (red) for my junior and senior years of college. I still have that car. Runs great!
When I got married, my wife brought a Dodge Dynasty to the marriage. I hated that car. I dont have a picture, but it looked like this, the boxy looking piece of crap it was.
When the dynasty got a radiator leak, I used it as an excuse to buy a NON CERTIFIED PRE OWNED BONNEVILLE, perhaps the biggest mistake of my life (1995 SE that I just found out today had been in a wreck back in 97). It was a mistake, but I still loved it!
And as of 7:00 CDT this evening, I am now driving a 2004 SE, which I acquired for $14,000 from a dealer... only has 14,000 miles on it! Thus I have 22,000 miles left on the factory warranty. The car isn't even a year old! It was a GM program car, which, by the way, I'm curious to hear what people think about the program cars, i.e. cars that were used in fleets and bought back by GM

I drove a 1991 Toyota pickup before I got my bonne 3 years ago. I wanted something that was a little safer cuz I spent so much time flying down the highway.
My first car ever was a 1972 Pontiac Ventura. It withstood many accidents that weren't my fault.
