My favorite car, ever, was a ‘96 Tercel my mother gave me (she was literally going to junk it). It was completely mechanical and analog, and I absolutely loved it. It was fun, reliable, and dead simple to maintain and operate. Only things I did to upgrade it was to install an aftermarket audio system so I could use my smartphone with it, and I installed slightly wider tires to give it a bit more stability. It reliably got 36-40 mpg on regular gas, and since everything was mechanical (even down to the rack-and-pinion steering), nothing ever broke, ever. That thing had about 400,000 miles on the odo before I sold it. Good times.
