Actually, that was Dad's car, to be fair - my first car was a Datsun 200B SX

Like you I inherited Dad's Corona, my first car was a VK Berlina

1978 sigma was my first car. Paid $150 for it and it was on gas. Scary car brakes were shot and I did my license in it. Not to mention anything over 50 it would spew out smoke.
