I had a 2-tone Pontiac Starfire ... yellow and rust. It broke down on me ALL the time and slid all over the place on the ice, but it was mine. My grandma bought it for me for all of $600.
When I went to college, my parents sold it and kept the money.
As for a dream car, I'm really not into cars too much. I drive a Trailblazer now, but as the kids grow I'm thinking I'd like something that's a bit better on gas mileage. Something smaller ... perhaps hybrid. I don't need to cart around truckloads of kids so often anymore.
