THE worst car you have ever owned.
The worst car I ever owned was a 1988 Merkur Scorpio, an German version of the Ford Taurus, that I had for about 1 week before I demanded my money back from the guy who sold it. It wasn't that it was so terrible, it's just that when I needed parts for it, they were pretty scarce to find. The local Ford dealereship here in Maryland, Plaza Ford, said that parts had to be special ordered from Germany, and that they are hard, and expensive to work on. Other than that, it was fully loaded, you know, for a 1988. It had leather seats, power windows, and a power moonroof, which is the first and only car that I have owned with that feature. I found that those moonroofs are more prone to leaking than regular sunroofs.

I have never owned a GM car. My sister had a 1995 Chevy Camaro withh a v6, that she bought from Car-Max. Eventually, the head gasket went up, after only 1 month. We traded it to Jones here in Maryland. And I doubt that they fixed it before they re-sold it.

although my '93 Lebaron GTS Convertible had a lot of problems, they were resolved by Chrysler and it became a very nice car.
I would have to say the worst car that I've ever owned was an '85 (or was it an '86) Pontiac Firebird SE. The prior owner had to change the engine, because the crank twisted (common problem for that V6). The T-Tops leaked so bad that I often wondered if the tops were on, when it was raining. It was nothing but problems. |

All I've ever had are Mopars. I have had 4 of them, 3 of which I still own. My 88 Shelby Z has been the worst because I bought it with very high mileage. I have almost exactly $10,000 in it not including the purchase price. Every mechanical part has been replaced and alot of electrical components as well. And it still needs a fresh paint job due to the bad clearcoat.

I hate to say this guys, but probably the best car that my family owned was a 1989 F-250 with a 302 v8. We bought this thing new in Pennsylvania, where their cars have much stricter emmisions, etc. And up until last year, it ran great. The only thing that hindered it was a prankster who chose to pee in the gas tank; we never found out who around here did that, but I'd like to mess them up. Anyway, before this incident it racked up nearly 500,000 miles, which is the most I have ever gotten from any car. Say what you will about Fords, but them 302s are rock-solid. I am Mopar all the way, though. It wasn't my truck, it was my parents'

71rr, good luck, they are starting to get more exspensive every day now and the great ones are taken already. I know, I got some of them.
NZR/T, I doubt it. I still got another 30 good years to try to add some more to the collection. I always wanted me a garage type museum anyway ... |

The worst car I ever owned was a 1968 Olds Cutlass It was slow, ate a lot of gas, and would die every time I dared go out in the rain. I replaced it w/ a '64 Dodge & have owned only Mopars ever since.

THE WORST 2001 Chevy 2500HD I got 83k on it and the valve chatter is insane, my clutch is going, lumbar broke, and their is a knock in the steering colum when you turn left (just to name a few). Never again will I own a Chevy. (Z06 maybe)

'84 mustang coupe 4-banger. Bought it for $500 as a beater and cheap transportation when I was in high school (so long ago). It ran but this cracked out guy needed money bad, had 73k miles. The first day home and cleaning it I found powered white stuff in a baggie under the seat, I didn't ask or care just threw it out. That probably explained why he needed money so bad. Ran great for about two months. Then the damn electrical harness started messing up. replaced all of it. Then some one hit the car while it was parked. Still drove it. It had t-tops, when it rained the t-tops leaked like crazy. At one point I drove around a few days in the rain with the tops off becuase I wasn't getting as wet with them off. The water would puddle on the glass and poor into your lap. Then the power steering broke and the transmission decided to drop reverse. I gave up on it and took it out off roading because I was so fed up. It got stuck and me and the two other guys who were with me left it. Last Time I saw it which was awhile ago it was sitting rotting on an embankment. I am glad I have a new car now....

71rr and NZ We can get those metal buildings here with steel beams and sheet metal sides powder coated. 50x100 cost you around 12,000 and them you need your concrette poured. I'm no concrette man, but as for the building assembly it's as easy as building a plastic model car. Plus it brings the property values up too.

Well these are rectangle not round and there's many options for them too like doors and windows and such. You can box off 12 x 50 for an office,small kitchen and tv room and stil have plenty of shop space to work with.

True, shape does not matter. Go on, get dressed and get on down to the corner banker and stop moaning and crying. He's ready to give you a second mortgage today at low low rates.
