An early 70s Chevy Vega that my friends nicknamed "The Bondo Buggy" because of it's terminal rust. Purchased for $500 with the odometer rolled over (hey, I was just a kid). Traded in on a Toyota Corona that threw a rod a month after I got it, after which I bought a brand new Chevette for delivering at Dominos. Two other kids at work had the exact same car in the exact same color (Light Brown Metallic with brown vinyl interior) because the local dealership had had a "college student" sale where you put nothing down and paid $100/month for them - the campus was crawling with Chevettes! At work, we got so sick of trying our keys in the wrong car over and over that we just started leaving the keys in them and taking whichever Chevette was closest when we had a delivery. At the end of the week we'd check license plates to make sure we had our own car, but for the most part we didn't give a hoot. It was often a couple of days before some little detail (something odd in the glove box, or different air freshener) would tell me I'd driven someone else's car home!
