I'd like in on this.
2004 GMC Envoy XLE
Pros:
Very good fuel economy for a V8 of this age and condition, 11L/100km
Seat heaters that still work!
Leather, electric seats
OnStar (Albeit it's French xD)
Side skirts
310 hp stock, no clue how much is left
Can tow 9000lbs
Makes a great noise above 3000 rpm
7 seats, all with leg room
Pneumatic rear suspension
4 drivetrain settings
Cons:
Is starting to fall apart
Front left bearing makes a racket
Has stalled itself in the past
The tranny is a garbage 4 speed that jerks
Loud, very loud
Fan belt sqweeks
Compressor for the pneumatic suspension is slowly dieing
Can't open the rear hatch
False readings from guages galore
Body damage
A bit of rust along edges

Can my dad's car join the club?
It's a 1990 Audi 80 B3 1.6 diesel
Pros
does up to 40 mpg (US)
it's got a brand new Pioneer stereo
ride's quite comfy
engine's in decent condition (it's probably done more than 400,000 kilometers)
power steering
spacious interior
a spoiler!
it's got a "turbo" written in the back...
Cons
...but they forgot to add "diesel"
it's red, but every single panel is in different tone of red, the whole thing was probably crashed several times
it's annoyingly loud (typical farmyard diesel sound)
it's not very fast
you have to be a horse of a man to open the boot lid

How about my first car? It was free too. 
Anymore photos or info wanted, look to my signature.
My 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback
Quite a few pictures..
Car phone! That's not the con, it's actually that the angle you see the steering wheel at is nearly "straight." So yes, it is misaligned.
Sizeable dent...
Pros:
-Started every time
-Quite advanced for 1997 (auto turn off lights and heated cloth seats)
-Handling gave good feedback
-No serious rust
-Spacious trunk
-Fog lights! (love them, but barely used them
)
-Attractive looks (IMO)
Cons:
-Entire car would vibrate at idle
-Doors would feel like they were moving outwards when using the power windows
-Knocking when turning at low speeds
-Very low on power, almost didn't make up an extremely steep hill
-Steering is misaligned and would stray towards the right
-Rough gear changes (automatic...)
-Trunk handle broken
-A LOT of scratches (Along with a very long pinstripe from someone keying it)
-Many dents from people in the city doing plenty of hit and runs...
-Many trim pieces were loose along with the cupholder being stuck
-Rear left passenger door has a gap from one of the large dents
-Quite few deep scratches from a tree branch landing on it.
-Front right rim had a leaky hole
-Several paint chips
-Deep scratches on rear plastic (off-roadish) bumpers (From my dad backing it up into a large rock
-Bumper stickers for a juice company...that's out of business... (Original owner was the owner of the company and a friend of my dad. Which is how we got the car)
-Very smokey
-Broken power side mirrors that would not work
-Didn't pass inspection...due to "emissions"
-Broken fuel gauge
-Steering would lock up when trying to start it up
And finally, my parents sold it off for scrap.

Cons:

-Steering is misaligned and would stray towards the right (Designed for clockwise tracks)
-Rough gear changes (automatic...) (Too much torque)
-Trunk handle broken (Aero improvements)
-A LOT of scratches (Along with a very long pinstripe from someone keying it) (They were jelly of the speed holes)
-Many dents from people in the city doing plenty of hit and runs... (Rubbins Racin'

It's alright, I made fun of it myself when I owned it. (Used to call it the DeathTrap) And yet I loved it too... Most of these faults lied upon my uncle who was the second owner and took almost no care of it at all. As well as living in the lower parts of the city in Maine. I just edited it and added some stuff I forgot to add earlier.

My new car is a 1994 Geo Prizm. It's not crappy by any means, compared to my last car.
A Subset red mercury tracer wagon 1995. Affectionately called Pink Panther by everyone I knew, it was my mom's first car when we moved to the States.
The car had a paltry 70 HP when I gave it away, rust, bad brakes, an engine that screamed "kill me please" over 5000 rpm.
But even if I were blessed enough to buy a Ferrari, I probably will remember the fun times I had with Pink Panther. Funny thing about first cars is that you never forget them.

I've got pictures of the odometer to prove it too haha. Definitely built Ford tough lol
Also correction on the mileage, it's actually 665k.
Here's a pic. The ticker was adjusted so it doesn't count 1/10th of a mile on the white counter, it counts a full mile now. This was so it was easier to figure out the mileage so it rolled over every 1 million, not everyone 100,000.
