i had an 86 hyundai excel in high school. POS of a car to live with, but you couldn't kill the thing.
teh clock reset itself to 1:00 if the car was off for more than 20mins, iot had a motorcycle carb on it, wiring short in the steering column was fixed with "race car" push button start, and 0-60 was not always gonna happen.
the car did however once carry 13 people for about a mile, never got an oil change in the 3 years i drove it, and never left me stranded anywhere. so i guess it wasn't all bad.
lot of "firsts" in that car too
later
