Threw the timing belt in 1988, that was the end of that story.
Why did I have a diesel in Minnesota?
It was green.
Sold it to some kid for twice what I paid... he was going to drop a nitrous oxide kit into the poor thing.
I blew the head gasket about a month after I bought it. Unfortunately, that meant that I had to drive around with the heater on to help the engine cool all summer (it was HOT) while i saved up the money to buy the parts and pay for the machine shop work to fix it. It would be 95+ degrees and I'd be driving around with all four windows rolled down and the heater on full blast, blowin steam out of the radiator overfill tube. good times.
about 3 weeks after I finally fixed it, some old bat fell asleep behind the wheel and hit me head on, destroying my car. I got $900 from the insurance company for it.
My first car was this little, exploding eyesore (the 1979 Pinto), except mine was plain and had metallic-blue paint):

Some might say that they're feminine, but I think they're cool as F*ck.
You White dudes were whippin'. It's interesting to hear of the relatively nice 'first rides' you cats were pushin' compared to the brotha (as Census data would corroborate in terms of racial-ethnic income disparities). I had to wait for my come-uppance.
