In 1978 as a high school senior, I got a '75 yellow Fiat X1/9. Pretty cool car for a teenager, even though it only had a 1.3 liter engine and broke down all the time. But it was a mid-engine car that you could take the top off. Plus it had a frunk and a trunk.



What I really wanted was a muscle car like all my friends. I had my eyes on a yellow Dodge Challenger with the 340 engine, 6 pack, 411 rear end and I believe it had a four speed on the floor. Fat tires on the rear with Crager mags. Of course my parents (wisely) said I couldn't have it and I imagine I would have killed myself had I got it (the Fiat could never get going fast enough to cause any harm).



And I didn't learn my lesson with the Fiat. My second car was a '76 Lancia Scorpion. It broke down more than the Fiat, but again, it was a mid-engine, 2 seat sports car that had a large fabric top that folded back.
