Unequivocally a 1978 Ford Mustang II--total piece of junk.

My first car, a 1988 Chevy Caviler z24. In actuality, it lasted almost 200K miles, but it was still a Caviler.

1980 Ford Fairmont. Actually my parents owned it. Within half an hour of starting it, if the AC was on, you couldn’t push the accelerator without stalling.

I’ve had good luck with automobiles actually. But the worst one I had was a ‘98 Honda Accord. Mechanically it was fine, but all of the interior trim pieces started falling apart.

Sorry, but none of my cars were worse than having to scroll through a bunch of graphics on a FReeper thread to get to the posts...

Keep it simple...
