I’ve only seen her on the WebCam . . . she’s adorable!!! . . . ;-)
The best car I have ever owned is on the list. Jag X-type. The problem has nothing to do with Jaguar, but rather the magazines that try to compare it, not to others in its class, but to cars costing 3 times as much.
A yellow diesel VW Rabbit! A total and complete POS! It may have just been the color. My best friend had one of the same vintage and he put 234,000 miles on it!
A Mustang junker?
Was it just a lemon?
Plymouth Fury...I can’t remember the year, but I had it in college, and it was about 10 years old, so it was probably an early 60’s model.
The day I drove it home, the oil drained out on my driveway. It went downhill from there.
Thanks Hendrick BMW Charlotte you suck.
Like this?
“Toss up. Between my ‘71 Vega and my ‘73 Mercury Montego. “
I liked my used Corvair and my used Pinto and my used
Gremlin, but the Vega was so bad that I got in to do a test drive of a new one with a salesman, and before I started the engine I told the guy that this vehicle is just a piece of junk, I don’t need to test drive it and I bought a Corolla.
1971 VW Squareback. The door locks froze below 32 degrees and I had to crawl in through the hatch - with a baby! It had to be revved in neutral at stoplights so it didn’t die. What a piece of crap.
Wow....that's alot of miles!!
A 1982 Pontiac J2000 sedan, white w/a burgundy interior. It had a rear, main seal oil leak that could not be fixed. To get to the leak the dashboard had to be removed multiple times (resulting in the dashboard being cracked...and having to be replaced with various colors and GM makes of dashboards.) The leak would make the onboard computer short out. I can’t even remember how many times it was towed...such a bad karma vehicle that in a funeral home parking lot, a hearse backed into it T-boning it. It had some sort of bad moto mojo...
1973 AMC Gremlin. It leaked when it rained, the windows fell into the door regularly, it leaked oil almost from the day it left the dealer, the windshield wipers didn’t work, it was noisy, underpowered and ugly.
Have no idea on the year. But it was a Mercury Bobcat. I traded my 66 Impala for it and rued the day. That Impala would climb snow covered hills and get me where I needed to go. The Bobcat required that the A/C be turned off to climb a hill on clear day. I made $300 car payments to my Dad for 8 months to pay off that awful car. I was so happy when I unloaded that POC and moved on.
1988 Chevy Beretta with the 3.1L V6. It ran great for the first 20K. After that, I had nothing but problems with the fuel sensor, engine thermostat, and many other issues. It was a money pit to keep on the road.
I lived in a sunbeam with two guys for a summer. We had a great time. One could burp in the gastank and go one hundred miles. We hung our clothes on the ariel to dry.
Those were good old days.
I had one of those; don't miss it a bit.
I owned one of these Citroen POS "trucks." One day the brake pedal assembly simply came off when I was braking. I had to jump out of the car and physically stop it "manually" to avoid running into a group of students. You should have seen the look on their faces.
Unsafe at any speed
Not a car but the worst thing I ever owned was a Ford Aerostar.
I noticed almost every Aerostar I see out on the road has rust on the bottom sides.
