  • 1986 Crown Victoria. Busted after 3 crashes, engine failure, just simply not working at all.
  • 84 Nissan Sentra Hatchback. It was originally red, but took on a more orange tint. If you made a left turn you had to hold the driver's side door closed. And the fabric, like many cars, on the ceiling sagged down. It was glorious!
  • 1973 Ford Maverick. The transmission was installed backwards!
  • 1976 AMC Gremlin: Underpowered, rough ride, horrible handling, epically lousy brakes, poor rear seat room, UGLY plaid vinyl interior, sheet metal body made of two layers of aluminum foil pressed together. The only good thing about is that it was such a hooptie that *nobody* wanted to steal it...;-D.. . .
  • All my cars have been junky. The last one was a 1979 brown Ford LTD that my husband got for $300 at an auction. I told him not to buy it, but he did anyway. The transmission went out shortly after we got it, the starter went out, the passenger door wouldn't open. He replaced that with a 1992 Chevy Corsica he got for $150 from a "friend". It had obviously hit a deer, which rolled up the hood and cracked the windshield. Turns out that guy had never had the car registered in his name, so it was a hassle to get it tagged. Shortly after I got it, a hole in the exhaust pipe melted a hole in the plastic gas tank, and half of my full tank of gas ran all over the parking lot at the gas station. Bought a new tank, then the fuel pump had to be replaced because it didn't work with the new tank. When they put it back together, it had no power, stalled at stoplights. They had pinched something when they put the tank in, and even after they fixed that, it still died at stoplights. One day after 3 months without a car (waiting for the gas tank to arrive), we were on the porch and this rusty junky car drove by, with loud muffler noises and backfiring and I said, "Look, there's my next car!" Another day, my grandson said, "What happens when a car uses all it's miles?" I replied, "You sell it to grandma and she drives it for a few years" My husband wasn't amused with my jokes at all.
  • A '91 Civic with a ductwork-and-bondo trunklid and a leaky gas tank. Ran like a champ and handled like a go-kart though.
  • A 1987 Ford Tempo - No transmission, gas guage that always read full, and a problem with every set of tires it ever had.
  • 1986 Chevy Cavalier (a.k.a. "Bentley") Ran decent exhaust was missing eventually, looked like it was T-boned by a train.
  • 1987 Cutlass Suprem 4 door. The car was taken off road more then on. :)
  • Ford tempo; death on wheels what a colossal waste of metal.
  • I think it was a '95 Ford Escort. It was pieced together with parts from the other 100,000 Escorts which were scrapped up to that point. I actually had two of them. Death traps. The screws would loosen up just driving down the road.
  • A 1981 Dodge Omni with manual transmission.
  • 1988 ford thunderbird cause it was a ford im a chevy fan
  • I don't remember the year but I once owned a plymouth Horizon...I sent it rolling down cottonwood springs.
  • 78 HONDA CIVIC
  • mine would have to be a green 91 explorer. it needed a new transmission and had a mind of its own. i was excited to get a new car and junk this one. but it died on me when i got to work so it has been there forever. now its in my drive way and has been for months. ughhhh
  • A Volkswagen Rabbit. It had been a demo at a dealership, and although the mileage was low, it had been abused. We had nothing but trouble with it. Once it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. And when the weather got hot (we lived in Phoenix then) the interior reeked of hot plastic. Hated, hated that car. Got rid of it as soon as I could afford to.
