One of the most fun cars I ever had was my $400 e30 BMW airport/winter car, that came with fresh blizzacks. Ended up making money on that car....twice. Girl hit me driving to work. Her insurance co gave me $2500 for my car, since it was "totaled" for that price, that included the buy-back. Put about $100 worth of eBay parts on it to make it drivable. Drove another 30k miles with it. The alternator crapped out at point, I took the old one to autozone. The guy working there said "oh, you have our lifetime model...let me get you a free replacement..." Ha! Ended up selling the car for $500 some time later. Kinda miss it!
