Mine was a beloved (but troublesome too) bright red, 5-speed 1987 Nissan Pulsar (the one with the t-roofs). Bought it for $1,900. Virtually identical to this one: ![http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e205/daboozy/pulsar.jpg](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e205/daboozy/pulsar.jpg) It had it’s good moments. ---

My first car was an 88 Nissan pulsar. It was a XE with a E16i automatic. 70hp of raw fury. It had been oil sprayed annually since it was new so it was completely mint. Paid $400 for it from Kitchener Mitsubishi but I ruined the transmission by being 16 and doing neutral drops. Here’s pics from my old car domain website. ![http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1350/3241/3374120005_large.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1350/3241/3374120005_large.jpg) ![http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1350/3241/3374120009_large.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1350/3241/3374120009_large.jpg) ---
