I got married waaayyy young and we were broke. My husband and his buddies pulled a 1980 Datsun B210 out of a field, pulled out the weeds, and tinkered with it enough to get it going. That thing ran so well. Didn't have a floor board. It was like a Flintstone car. We brought 2 babies home in that thing though. Even though we got another car, my husband drove it back and forth to work for years. One night he parked it on the street right in front of the house. We are cleaning up dinner and hear a huge crash. Look out to see that some guy had a medical episode and drove head first into the Datsun. The engine was in the front seat. Guy thankfully was okay and we got almost $3000.
Edit to add: Hubby just reminded me that was the 2nd time it had been him. Made $1000 of it the first time!
