Not gonna show mine. In the last few months my wife has backed it into the house, hit a pole in the parking garage, scraped it against a wall, ran it over a snowbank.

Bought in winter of 2011 for 3200. It was listed for 9200 and after driving it and informing him of the ball joint safety issues he immediately said I can't sell you the car in good faith. So I told him I was still interested if he would come way down on the price he said how much I said 3500 he said how about 4000 and I buy you breakfast I said how about 3200 and you don't he talked to his wife and said deal as long as you have it towed to your house. I was blown away by his response! I cashed him out and quickly called AAA. The car was in excellent condition all records of dealer maintenance fresh water pump and timing belt. Just for my piece of mind I completely rebuilt the front steering and suspension. Sorry for the long story just thought I'd share here she is.
