Sad to say, there have been so many come and go over the years that there is a lot of competition for most memorable..........both good and bad!
But if I had to pick just one it would be number one. Just something about the first car you worked hard for and finally obtained. Mine was just an affordable, 11 year old, used, family car. A '51 Merc tudor. Fresh rebuilt stock engine, original interior in great shape, arrow straight sheet metal, and SoCal rust free. It was pale creme yellow, faded when I first saw it. It was parked on the corner of the local strip shopping center with a For Sale sign in the windshield. Just thinking about how I felt on the drive home after exchanging $125.00 for the pink slip (they really were then) brings a big smile to the face.
Spent a whole day polishing that faded original paint to a showroom shine. Vacuumed every square inch of the interior. Spray painted the wheels gloss black and mounted a set of porta-walls on it. Cleaned the engine compartment, and polished the chrome to an eye searing gleam.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
