My first car was a 1985 Dodge Charger that I swear would still be running today if the tranny hadn't started going on it. My dad passed it down to me when I was 18.
Then, I bought a Hyundai Excel in '94, brand new, a car that I loved, barely drove (since I live in the city and didn't need to drive everywhere), and it was in great shape. One night, almost a year ago, some fucking fucknut asshole jagoff smashed out my hatchback window and keyed gang graffiti into every available surface--doors, the roof, the hood, etc. etc.
Based on the Blue Book, it would have cost more to fix it than it was worth, so they totalled my sweet, sweet car. At its death, the Hyundai had 26,000 miles on it and was eight years old.
The $2100 check, however...verrrrry sweet.
