Cool! My first car was a 1980 Datsun 210 (not a 'B') sedan. I bought it for $500, drove it for two years. Did everything to destroy that car, including jumping it, *offroading*
, drifting before it was called drifting, and countless other things only a kid-not-in-his-right-mind would do (it
will land right if jumped from a loading dock, as long as there's no last-minute hesitation...WARNING: don't try that at home, kids). I never changed the oil, but rather filled it back up whenever the oil light would come on (often after several days). Occasionally when that happened, I would change the filter, too. Never had much trouble with it. Tore the hand brake right out of the sheetmetal once (bolts still attached to the car body!) over a girl. First car sex.
Anyway, all that and I ended up selling it for $550. Great car. Indestructable. Well, almost. A buddy of mine hesitated with his at the loading dock!
