1983ish Renault Fuego. Manual.
She said she bought it originally because it was “cute” (it is), but of course its Frenchness showed quickly (on the side of the road).

Ah yes, I bought a 1987 Comanche a few years ago for $800. Obviously, it was in significantly worse condition, but it ran and drove (just). For some reason, a previous owner swapped out the original AMC I4 for the unspeakably bad, GM-sourced V6; it was like driving a tractor. I fixed a few things on it, gave it a…
H/T to the lede photo - I took Taggart’s for driving school back in ~2003! One of my classmates crashed the “Taggartmobile” (early 90s Cavalier if I’m not mistaken). Good times.
