Re: THE WORST CAR YOU HAVE EVER OWNED
I've driven a lot of crap cars, so it's hard to narrow it down...... Probably the 92 Lebaron GTC. Always loved the look of the coupes and convertibles. Bought one a couple years ago, drove it maybe a year then sent it to the crusher where it belonged.

Without a doubt, the 1979 Corvette I bought new. It quickly turned me back to Mopars.

1988 Jeep Wrangler. Carter "feedback" carburetor kept freaking out and causing it to die. Wiring harness burned up soon after the problem was diagnosed. Pulled all electronics and rolled it back to a 1979 setup. Spun a main bearing. Replaced engine with, ironically, a '79 motor of same displacement. Ran like a champ until one of my rear axleshafts liberated itself from the housing at 55mph, but I managed to keep the Jeep upright and get it off the road. I recall being eye level with that spinning tire/wheel/axle assembly as it passed me. Jeep was held prisoner by the small-town tow truck company because I couldn't afford to pay the tow all the way back to my town. Barely paid it off and took a huge loss by selling it to a guy who never made the last payment.
I'll stick with my '53 Willys Pickup, thank you. No more AMC/Chrysler Jeeps for me.

2000 ford taurus. rattled like a diesel from day one,delayed shift into drive. trans self destructed at 50,000. quality job one. traded it on a 2004 dodge stratus when ford would not cover trans. still have the stratus,daughter drives it now. good car wish chrysler still made it would have bought another one.instead bought a 2011 ford focus,sorry have family that works for ford so can't beat the deal. actually like ford cars, hate ford trucks though,older model trucks had scary,lousy front ends,and steering. only like dodge or chevy trucks. actually really like the new chevys,but like my 2003 dakota better,still in good shape. dakotas hold up better body wise than the full size dodge trucks,especially the first gen new rams 94-02 they were rust buckets. i had a 97 in five years the drivers door bottom was gone. my dakota is still in good shape,just starting to show a little rust. not uncommon to see a older dakota around here still in good shape. not so much with the ram.

Re: THE WORST CAR YOU HAVE EVER OWNED
My 85 cavalier. My first of a few 500 dollar cars. Had a switch for the radiator fan and one for the fuel pump. The line ran for the fuel pump had gotten a ground on it and burnt almost to the tank itself. The passenger door didn't open. The fuel gauge didn't work. Speedometer worked when it felt like it. To top it off, it was brown. That should have been the first clue to me!!!!

I had an '84 Pontiac Sunbird I got for $400 that was the best running beast I've ever owned...until someone tried to drive through it. Figures.

Re: THE WORST CAR YOU HAVE EVER OWNED
Late 70's 4door Granada, with a shakin' inline 6 cyl. . Was my first wifes car when we got married in 1986. I let her drive my 85 Dodge Ram because it had A/C. It didn't take me long to get rid of it. As a matter of fact, I traded it in on my sweptline ! ![Clap :clap](./images/smilies/icon_clap.gif)
