Worst car you've ever driven

m4a1mustang · 09-04-2009, 10:13 PM

I'm a car guy. I've never driven a bad car -- always manage to find a way to have fun no matter what I'm driving! That's how it should be.

For me it was a 1981 Dodge Omni O24 hatchback. The stock car was a piece of crap. No balls, cheap plastic (this was the time of K Cars too). Shelby helped them develop a race model that seemed to do fairly well but I was forever traumatized with that O24.

1984 Mazda 626. It had more dings, dents, and problem than I thought possible on a car. The color was a rainbow of em, Had everything from pink to black, brown to **** copper. Clutch was constantly slipping oh and did I mention it had NO A/C in one of Texas' hottest summers on record. Yea kinda suckd, googled it and here she is

Fiat Panda... I drove this project car around Crete for a weekend. I never felt more vulnerable in my life...I feel more protected on my Harley.

1972 VW Super Beetle. Friend was drinking so I drove his car. Seating position was cocked to the side, brakes had to be pumped to work, no power, not the easiest car to change gears. It actually sounded really nice though, 1 of the better sounding beetles I have ever heard.

the worst car i ever drove was also the first car i ever owned.
it was a 1980 dodge colt that i bought in 1994 for 300 dollars. it had 180K miles on it. the only thing that worked was the engine and drive train. i learned more about automotive repair in the 2 years i had that car than ever.

the worst part was that the heater and blower did not work.. i lived in rural wyoming at the time and not having heat in a wyoming winter is pretty scary. good thing it was FWD.

1988 Ford Tempo. Paid $800 for it and it caught on fire a week later.
