Now I really, really, REALLY miss my little 323F. Owned one of these from 2009 to 2014 - the only, and I'm serious, the only piece of mechanical maintenance it needed in that time (besides oil changes) was a set of rear brake pads. It had an oil leak and a few other things, but that car just kept giving, and giving, and giving. It developed a bizarre overheating problem though, most likely a head gasket. But this was a fun little car, I still think about it almost 7 years later. Thanks for the vid :)

Same here. First car i ever remember being in, and it was a black one, and i called it the "Eye-car". I remember the day my father took me to kindergarten the first day with the car, i've never been on a car before, but i knew how to walk. And i often was walked to the kindergarten by my mother. My father was drinking coffee, and asked me if i wanted to be a passenger in a car. I furiously nodded, we walked to the garage roof, and he just told me wait infront of the car he went into, so he could drive it out of the tight parking spot. Unannounced, he starts spamming the lights. I reacted like i did, told my dad "Is eye car!", and i flexed in kindergarten over how my dad has the coolest car, because it has EYES
