Red 1988 Corolla sedan, unglamorous and reliable. It was economical to run and never gave us any trouble. When I (amicably) split up with that ex he bought out my share (I needed the money and he needed the car). As his first "I'm single now so I might go on a trip" activity, he decided to go to Mallacoota and Gipsy Point and chill out. On the highway near Genoa Peak a wombat waddled out onto the road, he hit it and totalled the car and the wombat walked away! He was thankfully uninjured.
Wow, so glad he was uninjured (and the wombat!). What a way for the car to go out, nice that you'd already been able to say farewell to it though :)
