Don't feel bad about your car....
This might be my first ride (if my relative can find the keys):













Funny thing: We don't know if it's working. She's 84 and her husband is 91. However, her husband refused to stop driving (about 3 years ago), so in order to keep him from doing so, they had to take out some part. He thinks the car is broken.
I have no idea what the part is, or where the keys are, but hopefully the damn thing still works :D

EDIT: I would like everyone to know that on the trunk it says "Pontiac Sunbird", on the sides of the hood, it says "Cavalier", on the dash it says "Chevorlet", and the grill looks like it belongs on neither car.

Dude, no. Just no. I can get a better car for 500 bucks with a full checkup too. And no rust (that's about the worst thing you can have on your car because it just gets worse and worse).

I don't know how much money you got to spend on your first car, but paying anything above 100 bucks is a rip-off. The think looks like it's 20+ years old (how old is it actually?).

Probably around 20+ years old. We're gunning for about 450.
And you can't buy cars down here like you can in the states. Things are way more expensive, and I don't have a lot of dough to burn.

450 for a 20+ year old car with rust and missing parts? Dude, you aren't just being ripped off, you are being raped by the elderly. :p

And who said anything about the States? I'm Dutch :p In what country do you live anyway?

One of my friends' car says ford on the back, mercury on the front, and has a bumper made almost entirely out of black electricians' tape.

This is more or less my ride.  Except mine's blue and a little beat-up.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

anon, I will thank you not to mock the Yugo. It is a fine and noble machine, the likes of which would not seem out of place in a luxurious German showroom. It has only earned the reputation for being a piece of **** because of the fact that it is.

With that said, I take a certain pride in driving around in old, beat up cars. With few exceptions every car owned by my family, and by extension me (being until recently too young to legally run over old people), has been a POS. The last car we had (before upgrading to the current fancy-pants '91 NIssan) was an '84 Dodge Aries nicknamed "Deathtrap".

Yeah... when driving a Yugo you at least have the satisfaction that you're not driving a Scota :p

Just me...but that car needs alot of work to make it look nice and probably to get it to run well, run clean, run efficiently....but thats just me.

Consider cost of the car, cost of replacement parts, cost of fixing major problems, cost of fixing optional minor problems, etc.  The top end price is just the beginning.
