Since you admitted it first, the first new car that I bought was a 1975 Datsun B210 hatchback. I had just gotten got my first job out of college and paid for it $2,300 cash. It was a basic four-speed, with no frills, not even an AM radio. It was a real "muscle car", sporting a four-cylinder engine with 1,200 cc displacement.

During the gas shortage in the 70s, while others were waiting in long lines, I could drive it for at least two weeks without having to fill the tank. After putting on more than 100,000 miles on it, I sold it for $1,000. My brother bought a used one a couple of years later. It finally gave up the ghost after 400,000 miles.
