My gifted 1978 civic I got in 1986 with 100+K miles.
It was free, manual, and got about 40mph on the highway.
Eventually the clutch was toast, thus I learned to rev shift.
When I gave it away the clutch was more dead, the CV joints were toast, and the four spark plugs all had extenders to evade the motor oil that was spewing.
The seats were also ass, and the A/C did not work from day one, the paint also became two-tone due to oxidation.
BUT, it got me through college, at about $15/week in gas money.
