Easy one...didn't even have to think about it.  It was a 1976 Pontiac Bonneville.  Gorgeous car.  I saw it on the lot and had to have it.  I bought it brand new.  It was the devil.  As much as I loved that car, that's how much I came to hate it.  By the time I sold it for $600, I was so glad to see it go I would have given the darn thing away.

My worst car was a 1975 Dodge Coronet. I thought my 1968 Dodge Dart with a V6 was doggy because the upholstery was worn, so I thought a newer Dodge with a V8 would be an improvement. WRONG!

An Austin Allegro when I was 18.......

http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?ado67indexf.htm

In muddy brown.........

You had to bump start her EVERY morning and she'd shake like hell at anything over 55mph.

She was :hopeless: but I was sad to see her go....

It sounds like they should have called it a "Largo" instead.

1986 Ford Taurus.  It was a piece of &%*#.  The design had inherent flaws that led to repeated forward brake system failures.  I spent nearly the price of the vehicle fixing the brake system (including the &%*# master cylinder) eight times within three years before I sent it packing over a cliff into a ravine.

No, seriously, I had it properly recycled.

But doesn't it sound better to have it "sent packing over a cliff into a ravine"?  Oh, and how about adding, "Saturated it with gasoline, lit it with a torch, and sent it packing over a cliff into a ravine alight like a fireball"?  Ooh, and then I "beat it to a pulp with a bat, a tire iron, and my ex-husband's beloved wrench."

Yeah.  THAT'S the ticket.

SERIOUSLY, Dude.  AND it was an automatic, a BIG no-no.

My best car was a SAAB.  Golly, I loved that thing.

My SAAB was from the early 1980's and in excellent working order.  A true Swede, Buddy.

Uhmm excuse me, but I see you have yourself listed as a car salesman, and I see in your post you had a 1968 Dodge Dart with a V-6,... Dodge did not use a v-6 in 1968. Don't you mean an inline 6 cylinder?

I've had a bunch of different cars since I started driving. My Dad owned a used car lot when I started driving. Our worst problem car was a cadillac. Our best selling highest profit cars, Mustangs.. I still own one 2004 Mustang GT Convertible. 40,000 trouble free miles so far, and counting.

My brother dropped a 270 cid V6 in it, so it was a Dart with a V6. I don't know what engine it originally had in it.
