My first car was a 1985 VW GTI which I drove until 1994. By the end, the rear bumper had been thumped twice so it was kinda caved in, and the right door had been mashed so it had a big dent in it, and bits of the side molding were coming off. It had no power steering at all, and then it developed torque steer so hard, that to floor it meant the steering wheel could swerve hard to the right.

I think we traded it for $500. Should have kept it as a beater instead. Great beater car.
