Bet you wish you had it parked somewhere on the place tho
It would be worth a couple bucks now just for the parts.

I think it was an 82... Plymouth Horizon TC3. The fact that it was blue, that was the only thing that wasn't wrong with it. Total piece of crap, it was my first car, spent my senior year in High School paying for repairs...I ended up leaving it at the mechanics shop, and off to college I went....

My family owned an 87 Chrysler Lebaron that was about the biggest piece of crap for a car I've ever driven.

A Volvo. It had more miles on the mechanic's lift than on the highway.

This is an older thread, but I see no one has mentioned the Chevy Vega.

When I got out of the army I bought a new '71 Vega because it was pretty...

At the end of the first year, it used 5 quarts of oil a week and only held 4 quarts. And that's just one of the many. I had so many darned problems in the first year the dealership voided my warranty.

So, after that I parked it and quit making payments. They came to repo it and I smiled and threw them the keys and thanked them for taking it.

My folks had a brand new Dodge 600 K-car in '82. Kept it less than 2 months. The thing would die right in the middle of an intersection for no reason.

Brand new 2001 Ford 550 Power Stroke diesel truck. 3 starters, 4 wiring harnesses, 6 batteries, 4 alternators, spent more time at the dealership than in the yard. I lost all my sense of humour when a mechanic wrote on the work order " Truck must be started every morning and driven 30 miles to maintain the proper charge in the battery". That would be fine if the truck started! So 2150 miles in two years for this work truck I traded it in on a bigger truck. I did win the lawsuit against the builder and dealership and the lawyers were happy, and I did gain a cent, but did it on simple principle of tired of getting screwed around by them.

1974 Mercury Comet, a dad gift. And a surprise, 2 cylinders missing... the beast was a 4 cylinder version that was in a accident and fixed apparently. It was repaint with a roller in two tones of blue, the kind you see in a bathroom.
Just remembered once lost a wheel when going to hockey practice on a very cold winter day. Months later, lost a cylinder while crossing the Champlain bridge at rush hour but still managed to arrive home. Towed to the scrap yard the next day.

A friend of mine "1982) had a Vega. He had a lot of problems with it. I had a Chevette.... it was worse.
On a side note, I have found a Vega wagon that is NOT rusted away. 350 V8.

85' Jeep Cherokee....clocked more miles behind a tow rope until it finally burned to the ground...my own volunteer fire dept. came and put it out. Surprised there isn't more Jeeps on here, what a pile of garbage!! Have a Tundra for the past 10 years, couldn't ask for a more reliable truck

Brand new 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 quad cab . Radio , drivers mirror , two blend doors ( whole dash has to come out ) rust at 45,000 miles left rear quarter above the wheel , rust on other rear quarter at 65,00 miles . Trucks electric throttle froze on me two times leaving me with an idle for 45 mins to an hour til it warmed the throttle and freed it .Traded it off with pcm problems at 77k as the dodge ram customer service department told me my seven year old truck was old and I need a new one . Got a whopping 12k on it at trade , paid 34k for it new .

I now drive a 1997 chevy 1500 I can fix myself and is more reliable than the dodge at 200k and going strong and you can treat it like a truck . My elbow bent the hood on my dodge lifting the wiper blade to dry the window after washing it . Hood reminded me of a pop can .

We have two daughters so my wife has had three Dodge Caravans with the last one being a 2011. Biggest piece of junk on the road and by 2014 the thing was falling apart. Shocks - struts completely gone, middle row captains chairs coming out of the floor (not loose bolts), the brakes aren't good on it as it's heavy, lots of other minor things and with the salt on the roads around here in the winter it was starting to rust by the 3rd year.
My 2001 Nissan Sentra is still going strong and just started showing a little rust when it was over 15 years old. So she got a Nissan Rogue and it's been really good, even took it out west to California to visit relatives and haven't had a single issue.
