My brother hit a deer with it, so when I got it, the hood was caved in, the left front fender was smashed in and loose at the bottom and the grill was gone. I had to hammer the hood straight (hammer dents everywhere) and re-bolt the fender in. The fender, even after being bolted back on, was loose enough and air would pass through under it and through the door, basically making an air dam that led right into the cabin. Over time, the fender would start slapping against the body when I got up passed 60 mph, which was rare.

That's not even the worst part: reverse was gone! I had to pull through parking spaces in order to get out, or I would have to push my car to back it up. Also, the muffler came off after driving it for a few months making it very loud. Though, without that muffler, I could make the car backfire on command; rev it up in second gear and let off the gas... BANG!

I had a bumper sticker that said "This car is not an abandoned vehicle." Got lots of chuckles from police officers. I also used to tie a bow in the front around Christmas time. It always got tons of laughs. Ugly as it was, I had a good time with it. Perfect high school car.
