76 Ford Pinto Wagon stick shift in a horrible brown color (not a chick magnet)
77 Toyota Corolla stick in mustard yellow...at least I could find it in a parking lot.
77 Ford Courier pickup stick in some sort of green. No A/C, no radio, roll up windows, etc.
79 Triumph Spitfire 1500, also brown (what was happening here!). I wish I kept it but at the time couldn't keep up with the repairs and the rust...and no first gear, and no reverse and no gas gauge, etc...

We had a 1978 or 79 Honda Accord 2 door that we hated. It was a hot car at the time....nice little coupe with a CVCC engine and all.

You could not move the car from rest in first gear without bucking!! My wife and I took it on a trip from LA to Monterey and we had a contest to see who could get of the mark more smoothly.

I bought it on a good deal from Honda and actually sold it for a little more than i paid for it 8 months later.

Bought a 1979 Saab 900 Turbo coupe in black and LOVED it. Never bought another Honda......but bought a few more Saabs and Porches!!
