Not sure what the best one was...

The worst was "the bruise". So named by my wife: a 1985 Chevy S-10 with a faded light-blue cab, dark blue passenger door, faded red bed, with rust all over. I paid $500 for it to teach myself how to drive stick. In my three months of ownership, I put new tires on it ($400), had the axel seals and parking break redone ($200), and started replacing the rusted-out. When I drove it in the rain, I found out it had a short in the fuel injection that caused it to intermittently fail to supply fuel to the engine. I donated it. It was $1100 for three months of manual driving lessons. (I had intended to keep it as a winter beater.)
