Default What's the worst car you've ever owned?

I was just wondering what was the worst car you guys have ever owned, just something you hated, or were embarrassed to be seen in or was unreliable, boring, etc. just something you hated to drive, also i added a poll to see what catergory most people's cars end up in.

I'll start with mine, it was an '85 Honda Prelude. I hated that thing even though i should have appreciated it since it was my first car. I thought it was boring, ugly and i've never been a fan of japanese cars either. Not only that but everyone at my school had one. Luckily i drove it into a ditch before i killed myself in it (small impact and the thing was twisted up like a pretzel).

How about you guys?

My first car was an 89 toyota corolla, and that thing was extremely reliable and pretty fun to drive. Little 4cly (I think they are hemi's!, haha) with a 5spd, very smooth. Not the coolest looking thing, but it wasnt designed to be. The only thing that ever went wrong with it was the radiator, which rusted out. (very neat when it exploded, haha) Thinking back, i can never remember giving that thing an oil change.... My worst vehicle would probably be an 87 dodge dakota I had. It was the little 4cly 5spd. It was kinda fun to drive, since I think a part of the suspenion fell off so it had alot of body roll. I had to replace the fuel pump, and when i went to drain the oil for about 2-3 secs it was pure anti-freeze, then for about another 2-3 it was 50/50 anti-freeze and oil. Even though something was wrong with the old beast it did keep running, and I think it still is.

I had a 1980 Escort with a 1.6L "Hemi" in it. That thing was such a turd, constantly putting clutches and timing belts on it. What a heap.

Ironically, my daily beater now is a 1990 Escort GT and I actually kinda like this one! It does a quarter mile in 17.86 seconds at 76 MPH. (Don't forget your neck brace! LOL) I drove 97 miles the other day to drop off a tranny I sold, when I went to fill her up for the ride home it only took 2.6 gallons!!! Gotta love that. Only problem is, it won't pass ANYTHING except a gas station. hehehehe

Default Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?

The worst vehicle I ever owned was my first one. It was a 1982 GMC sierra. Total piece of shyt. It had a 305/350 turbo setup. I absolutely hated changing the spark plugs in it. Damn chevy's and their straight spark plug hole. I had to put two carburetors on it. POS quadrajunk. Man I hate those carbs. It had a bad spider gear in the differential and you could tell when you turned the corners too. Then I had to put a transmission it. When you put it in gear, it sounded like a bunch or marbles in a coffee can. That is the only chevy I ever owned. I won't have another one either. I have since owned 3 ford rangers 86, 87, and 88, 4 mustangs, and a 83 F-150. I still own them all except for the 86 and 87 ranger and only one of them is not running. FORD power!

GM SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

It's a tie for 1st-

95 Formula Firebird LT1:
Started to not shift at full or almost full throttle at 78,000 miles. Then it kept getting worse. So I traded it in at a dealer and I found out later the distributor block had blown and every sensor under the hood was gone!!!

96 GMC Sonoma Vortech 4300:
Red Antifreeze turned to mud and destroyed the motor at 70,000 miles. Wasn't even due for a change.

2nd may turn out to be my 2003 Ranger.

I first started out with a 88 mustang (no worries not one of the bad ones) it was my recently passed away bros, then we completely re did it, more info on a different thread. then i owned a 93 ranger danger (probably the best thing i've ever owned) wrecked it a couple times and kept on goin...STILL OWN IT TO THIS DAY then i bought a 89'gt and sold it to my friend (awesome) 32000 on the odometer..........
THEN CAME MY BAD YEARS.... i moved and didnt take the ranger, so i bought a 1984 chevy 2.8 s-10............brown and yellow......gross... broke down at least once a month, then not being smart i bought a 1994 chevy 1500 350.....................blew the engine after 6 months, and i babied it,....................Then thinkin id be nice to the world, i bought a metro, lol ran good but so gay, so i rode my yamaha grizzly onto the top and did a power brake and caved the roof in, soo much for that........now im in seattle with a 98' 4.2 f-150 and a recently bought 87' GT lovin it.......get pics soon

I just put tempo in there for fun just to see My friend had a tempo and it was dependable until his mom added something like 5 extra quarts of oil for no apparent reason.
