I have only ever had one car that is my very own and that was over in Japan. It was a 1990something Nissan Bluebird. The windows didn't work.. the A/C didn't work (killer during a Japanese summer), the radio didn't even have an antenna, the door locks only worked half of the time.... but she was MINE. We bought her for $1000 from another GI when I moved to Japan and paid $50 for the shop to junk it when we left
