When I was 16 and getting my first car I wasn't picky at all. I would have been happy with a VW bug, Fiat Spyder, Camaro, Trans Am, or would loved to have a corvette.

What did I end up with? A 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4 door in poop brown and a beige vynail (spelling?) top with a performance producing 260 cubic inch V8 of lackluster horsepower. Oh well, I was just happy to have a set of wheels and some freedom.
