Not Incredibly Memorable One Way Or The Other
 My dad gave me this car because he was hoping a free car would motivate me to learn to drive a stick shift.  It did.  I got it from him at about 90k, drove it till 125k.  I know he had to have some sort of major engine overhaul done to it.  I never had any major problems, just routine maintenance.  It got excellent fuel economy, 30+, and had good shifting and acceleration.  It was a very small car, sometimes uncomfortably small.  I did get hit in it, rear-ended at about 45mph.  I was okay, just shaken up a bit, airbags didn't deploy or anything.  Car was still drivable, back crunched in a bit, insurance totalled it.  After that, I was that guy with the trunk strapped down with a bungee cord.
