I had a green '94 Plymouth Sundance. The engine and transmission were in fairly bad shape when I turned it in. They both leaked oil/tranny fluid pretty badly. The CV joints were shot, and it would die sometimes while driving (once in the middle of an intersection - very scary). Oh, and the diesling was a fun issue too - it took several minutes to start after it would diesel when turning off. Also, the oil drain plug was cross threaded during it's last oil change, and since I was in the process of buying the Max about when this happened (took several weeks to decide which car, get the right options, etc), I just let it go... it maybe had 10K miles on the last oil. I got $100 at trade in.
Still, I miss the car and all of it's little quirks (it was my first car and I had it for years; I had even been through a serious accident with it). Often times I had to turn off the A/C (or as I called it the "turbo" button) to get up a hill, etc... and even then passing was out of the question for all but the slowest vehicles.
But now that I have my Max, I don't miss it quite so much.

1995 Dodge Intrepid. Lots of custom work that I probably paid way too much for, but I was young and it was my first.
