Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?
It was my "between Musatangs" car, a 1983 Ford Fairmont, that I drove for 5 years between 1988 and 1993. The car had been abused. It burned oil so bad that the catalytic converter began to stop up and it caught fire. Well, you know what happened next. I gutted the converter. As time went on, it began to leak everything except gas and antifreeze. It was a rolling environmental hazard. I am surprised that the EPA didn't pursue me!!! Because of the catalytic converter fire, I dubbed the car the "Fried Firemont." However, it did serve a purpose, meaning I didn't have to walk to get places, even though sometimes I wondered if I might have to!!
