i've never placed much stock in any car i've had. my old '88 honda accord was quite amazingly ghetto/enjoyable though. it had a leaking sunroof which would sometimes pour in tons of rain after driving it for the 1st time after a big rain. sometimes it wouldn't. it was always a surprise. it had other quirks too, of which i'll spare you.
my current car is a '99 nissan altima, and we've been building a relationship for 3 years now. here it is, street-parked next to my boston apartment (this is 1 of 2 times in months that i havent had to parallel park):
most notable are our following adventures: (1) 50 hours of fall foliage driving; (2) driving from boston to atlanta and back, while almost dying in a multi-hour snow storm w/ no windshield wipers -- forcing me to drive on highway w/ head out the window; (3) car broken into twice...
and now, the latest addition:
the trunk release broke many months ago. my trunk key has never worked. so, i've had no access to the trunk for months. i fiddled around w/ it and learned how the trunk works.
if you slide this metal piece towards the right, the trunk will open.
i tied string around the sharp metal, while adding padding to prevent the string from unraveling.
i ran the string along the base of the trunk, bended it through a loop, then ran it through the back seats towards the front of the car. now, if you pull the string towards the front of the car, the trunk will open.
here i am in the driver's seat, turned towards the back.
it's nothing complicated; i just think it's kind of a funny system.
