OK, I'm not in a particularly good mood. So no Geo Metro jokes, eh?

[NorCalRepub]

the worst car in 2005 is any one driven in the Sunni Triangle

Is the Segway considered a car? Head on crash rating must suck!

[xzins]

The Ford Fairmont was a dog.

Best used car deal?
A late model Lincoln.
They are very expensive brand-new, but their resale value plummets right off the lot.
here's no market for them outside of the Florida retirement community.
So, you can pick up a used one, with hardly any miles on it, for a song.

(At least that's what the website says)

A Fairmont with a 5.0L (302 ci) was not a bad vehicle at the time.

I'm not entirely sure I believe these ratings. Consumer Reports sometimes comes up with some pretty odd results.

[BenLurkin]

This guy has done some work on his it seems.

1987 and 1980 Ford Mustang 4 cyl.

I had one of these Futuras. The harmonic damper sheared off after only 700 miles and ruined the bearings on the crankshaft and the whole engine had to be rebuilt. Two Ford dealerships refused to fix it under warranty and I eventually found a Lincoln Mercury dealership that aqreed to fix it. It was a good car after that, but what a miserable beginning.

Yugos....they tend to fly off of the Mackinac Bridge.

Pontiac Aztec - for being so damn ugly.

HOLY ****!"

Isn't that Super Dave Osborn driving that?

[SweetPilotofCanuckistan]

He's thinks he's an airplane, eh!

hey. I had a Fairmont with a straight 6, a 1979. The crankshaft was working it's way out of the block and that thing still ran like a raped ape. It looked like hell, the interior was shot, the guy I got it from wanted it off his property, he gave it to me. That car got me around for a year before I finally took it apart (I have this need to completely disassemble a motor when I'm done with it, drives my husband crazy, and it tears the heck out of my nails).
