What was the worst car you ever owned?

[Scooter's Mom]

I also had a GOOD ford. It was my first ever car. A 1990 Ford Escort. I loved that little car. It went and went and went. Even after I bought my Cougar (Mercury, but sort of a Ford product) I kept the Escort. Loved my Cougar more than ANY other car I've ever had. Only reason I sold it was because it was in mine and my ex-husbands name and when I was marrying my current husband he didn't really like that idea... and that's when we got our Lemon/Intrepid.

November 29, 1990 - Bought my Ford Escort
Sept 19, 1995 - Bought my Cougar
February 12, 2000 - Bought the Intrepid
May 15, 2004 - Bought the Ford Mustang we have now (love it)
February 14, 2007 - Bought my Chevy Impala *used*

The Fords and the Cougar were all really nice cars - and I love my Impala.

I notice with Fords that if they've been driven a cirtian way they last forever but if you sell them off (or buy them from someone) they tend to explode! Not that there is any evedence to support my theory but I think they get "used" to being driven one way and get pi$$y if they experence change. The Pill gets really weird and drives like crud if I let someone else borrow it for even an hour.

The Corvair also had a really funny fan belt.

It ran from the side of the engine up and across the top, back down again, Did anyone mention the engine in the rear?

My worst "car" was a motorcycle. It was a piece of shiat, but I had tons' o fun on it and was able to work in it ever single time it needed service.

It was my second Honda, A twin 350 that I bought new because they had done a complete mod job on it, turned it into a road racer. It was coal black, giant 6 gallon tank, fairing and low handlebars.

It was a love/hate relationship. The radio, heater, a/c and windshield wipers didn't work, either.

Anyone remember the Geo Metro? Little 3-cylinder commuter car?

I heard a comedian talk about it once: "To get it over 40 mph you have to put a motivational cassette in the tape player."

He also talked about bugs hitting the windshield and giving the Metro the finger as they bounced off!

Ahh rear-engine cars. Prone to catching on fire Ive noticed. I forgot the funny fan belt too.
Sometimes the best/worst cars are the ones you have to fix yourself *glares outside at the pill* lol
