A Cadillac Hearse! No back seat at all! Smells of to many flowers, and Pine or Walnut. Lonely, dark! Sitting in the drivers seat, the hood looks like you are on approach, to land on an Air Craft Carrier!

88 tyota camery. bought it for $300 had 350 000 km on it. Had to use self expanding foam to seal the holes in the trunk. heater only workedd if you hit the dash really hard all the time. horn did not work heater finally failer window wipers broke and then fan bleew then only one light would work tires were bald and 4th and 5th gear did not work. It was great. And I had that for 1 year. got rid of it only 3 years ago.

Tie between an 02 Pontiac Grand Am (epically bad on every level) and a 01 Chrysler Sebring convertible.

The only thing more staggeringly mind bending than how either of these cars made it to production is that people actually bought them.

93' Thunderbird or my old 85' Newyorker. The NewYorker had so many flaws, but it was soo awesome. Still awful though.

too bad there isn't a prize for this category ... how about a 1979 Ford Pinto. I used to drive it back and forth to Newark, NJ so I didn't have to worry about anybody stealing it.

Sure sounds like good ol' Newark to me!

Smart choice btw... would've done the same!

I'm a pretty young guy, so I haven't gotten the opportunity to drive some really old beat up cars. I did, however, use to valet cars at a hotel, so I've seen some pretty nasty ones. If we're talking about newer cars, a Chrysler Sebring convertible takes the cake. Funkiest drive ever. Not to mention 90% of the trunks don't close if you use the soft top too often.

I also drove a 2001 Honda Accord coupe once. This wasn't your average Accord though. The steering wheel was missing a few buttons. Gas gauge didn't work. No A/C controls. Radio had a smashed screen. Worst body kit on the planet. Did I mention the doors didn't lock from the outside and the door handles also don't work? The guy who owned that car ironically came to the hotel with a car full of attractive girls. Who knows.

Well about 5 weeks ago we were driving in his car and the front left tire blew out. Now that he has a new tire and it it balanced it runs a lot better.

My step dad had a 78 Caddy, which was the first thing I ever drive. After my first drive, he gave me crap for not driving it well. Like anyone could just jump in a boat like this and be richard petty.

1970something baby blue pinto (ugh!) My wife and I left our wedding in it 25 years ago on March 3rd. July of that year ('84), I was fortunate enough to get a great job and bought a brand new 1984 Honda Prelude. Now that was a great, first new car! Kept it for 10 years and over 100k miles.
