So at one point in my life I had four beetles in quick succession. I think the most expensive of the lot cost me $250. I drove each of them until the motor died, then just got another one. They were awful cars to be sure, but they got me through undergrad.
The first car I bought by choice, and with my own money, was a 59 TR3A. The most recent car I sold is pictured below, on the day I sold it two years ago. That 540 was my DD for 13 of the 17 years I owned it. I agree with OP's sentiments about cars and then some.
Not only do I remember each and every car like it was yesterday, but even now I date events in my life based on which car (or motorcycle) I owned at the time (eg: I dated so'n'so in 1970 because I had a 70 T120R at that time). All these machines, even the worst of them, are held fondly in memory (although it did take a couple decades for the VWs to acquire that status).
bloody nice P car OP, btw.
