Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?
 
Mine was an '84 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme..
Piece of s**t!! It would stall out everytime, the only way to keep this from happening was to let it warm up, even in the winter!!
So, if there was an emergency, there's no way I get there anytime soon, would have to let it warm up 10 minutes to get there!! :mad:
I hated that car!!
Oh! Yeah! and then!! in the winter! if there was a snow storm, the car was like a sled!!! even the wheel would lock into place! so I'd have absolutely no control of it at al!! Crazy!! :mad:
I'm so happy to be a proud owner of my Mustang '06!! Yeah!!
Hopefully that car is in a cemetary somewhere, where it belongs!! :D
Have a great day!! :cool:

What a bunch of whiners..Toyota Corolla, Tempos, why you young bucks had it good...lol. Hell I had a 1972 VW camper, what a POS. The night I bought it, as I was driving home, I was cussing myself. I hated that car the minute I got in it. The bad thing is (actually two bad things). I sold a 67 olds 442 so I could buy it. The second is, I learned how to drive in a VW van....I knew better.

93 Ford Escort. It wouldn't have been so bad but my wife made me give up my 85 gt that had some work done to it. I went from 300 ponys to 88 and if you put the air on it dropped to 8. Nothing more embarassing then have to turn off the air when a light turns green or your trying to avoid an 18 wheeler running you over trying to get on the expressway.

Man, you must really love your wife to give up a mustang GT for an escort. I'd say trade me in instead of the GT and you can go home with the escort, and i'll stay here with the GT, lol :D

LOL!! That is funny!:D

My worst car was a 1980 camaro I bought from my brother. He chopped... err.. worked on it some and it was a POS. I think I traded him $800 and a surfboard for it. I told him I wanted my surfboard back, heeh. He traded the camaro for a 72 2 barrel wannabe mach.

Believe it or not...a 1996 Honda Accord EX. I will never again buy another 4-cylinder engine.

1985 Dodge Lancer!
It was my first car too...

I wasted wax and armor all and other odds and ends of money on that crap car.

It died in my parents drive way after a drive from Orlando to Arizona while moving to Idaho. Electronics problems, K-frame broke, stock radio missing, bald tires...

I had it towed to a Jeep dealership in Mesa that night, went back the next day and traded it in for my Jeep. They didn't even try and start it while I was there. Got lucky.

I ve exactly got a tie with 3 of my cars I have owned. 80 mercury zephyr wagon(woodgrain sides) same as fairmont I got as a hand me down by the time I got it it had 428,500 mi on it. I put about 36k on it in 2 yrs. In that time I went through 3 trannys and 3 cylinders (1st year.)Then my 2nd car was a 93 sunterd (went through 4 sunterds in 2 1/2 years) everybody kept running in to them and totalling them. and then their was my 3rd car 00 Jetta 2.0 6 O2 sensor in 1 1/2 yrs and all 4 window regulators in 2002 and then started to blow blue smoke badly and traded it in for 12,500 for a freestar.

1983 Buick Regal T-type. great looking car and fun to drive, but the most un-refined, un-reliable piece of shit to ever come out of detroit.

82 Buick Regal

V6 lost compresion at 76,000 miles
Every told me that fox mustangs are terible in the rain, they never drove one of these light wieght cars. The car would hydro plane on a ketchup packet!

Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?
 
unquestionably a 1991 honda civic. Tiny little go-kart engine, blowing gaskets, crappy electric infrastructure.

It took me 3 blocks of flooring it to reach 40 MPH. Toward the end, I was grateful every time the car started, and never assumed it would complete a round trip anywhere.

How bad was this car. I next bought a 1991 Ford Tempo with 109K, and it was a MASSIVE improvement. Not only will I never buy another honda, but I'll never even watch one of their commercials all the way through.

Hondas' are made from the scraps left behind from the Acura assembly line. Another tribute to the Japanese using every part of the animal, thats why Hondas' were always so much more affordable. Today they're built a little better with tightly constructed V6 engines and sport-like suspensions, I hope they can phase-out the 4-Cyllinder engine some day, it'll make V6 and V8 powered cars a little cheaper.

Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?
 
I've never really owned a bad car. I guess it's because I am particular in what I drive. I can only guess that a person that bought a Yugo back in the 80's must have thought that it was a piece of crap. I feel for that person.

rf The worst car was a nissan b 210. I bumped my bother-in-laws LTD and my right front quarter panel fell off. The only good thing about the car aws that it was stick and you could push start it. Which I did alot :o :o :o :o

Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?
 
Hands down has to be the '88 taurus 3.8. The heater core went bad about 5 min. after I drove it off the used car lot! It drank gas like it was going out of style!
I found out that they were notorious for the trannys going bad so I sold before that happened. Then, about 6 weeks after I sold it, the tranny went out on the poor guy.
