My Super Minx was gray with a red rolled and pleated interior. Above the headlights are the parking lamps/turn signals. I broke one of the lenses and used half of a translucent plastic coffee can lid as a replacement. It worked perfect! Also, mine did not have the mirrors mounted on the fenders. It was a classy little ride.

Mr. Ship

1977 Plymouth Volare S/W plain jane company car. Had an ignition system from h3ll, died all the time but never could find the problem. Finally found out that the electronic ignition module was poop. (Ironically, the company i worked for, a large semiconductor manufacturer based out of Texas and that made calculators, computers and Speak 'n Spells made the big ol' power transistor sitting on top of this module.)

"You'll be sorry with a Volare."

1972 Ford Pinto.

Was driving one night in about 4 inches of un-plowed snow on the interstate when the seam between the floorboards and firewall failed. The open gap acted like a big snow scoop and instantly filled the area between the floorboards and carpet with snow, which came up and pinned both my feet up under the dash board.
I had to pull the car out of gear cause I could do nothing with the gas pedal or the clutch or brake. The OHP found me in the middle of the road stopped about 10 or 15 minutes later. It took the fire department and a tow truck driver about an hour to figure out how to get me out. After a lot of head-scratching and snickering, they took a hydraulic jack and jacked the dash board up and off my feet. Car was totalled. Not worth much even before it happened but it was good transportation.
I can laugh about it now but it was very strange to feel trapped like that.

My college carpool had a 86 Fiero drove it twice & that was enough you couldn't PAY $$$$$$ me to own one . )

2011 Chevy Aveo LT. It was a rental with less than 4000 miles on it. Felt like it had 100,000 miles on it. Terrible car. Absolutely terrible.

I owned 3. It all depends on if the one you're in was well taken care of. They have a tendency to age terribly. lol

In the 80s when I lived North of Phoenix we were on our way out to the desert to plink with our rifles.

I had a revoked license and a bag-o-buds in my pocket.
The 5 cylinder 70's Volks station wagon was uninsured, unregistered, uninspected and had attached tags.
It was originally a 6 cylinder so it smoked like a forest fire.
A cop pulled up next to us while we were waiting for the light to change.
He took a quick look then snapped his head forward.
When the light changed he used all 8 cylinders hard to get away from train-wreck-looking us.

I guess he had better things to do.

That was the worst car I ever drove.

We had 4 people in it twice + my carpool had a LEADfoot he sold it a year later. )

2nd worse car I've ever driven was one of these jewels obtained from Rent-A-Wreck back in 1987. Yup its a 1984 Chrysler LeBaron convertible, a K-car with the top chopped off and oodles of fake wood trim. The second day I had it the top went down with a sad sort of farting sigh and that's where it stayed during the balance of the week's rental. It was also one of the "talking" Chrysler cars, we got into several arguments about the door being "ajar", no its a door...etc.

I have been driving since 1982. You would think that my first car, a 72 Vega GT would have been the worst, but it's really a toss up among:

1987 Ford Escort EXP GT - Ugggghhhh.
1977 Chrysler Cordoba, with the 400 cubic motor and Lean Burn. what a pile.
1974 Mustang II Mach I - American Car, German V-6, all bad.

Most expensive to repair - 1991 Mazda RX-7 Convertible.
Car most in the shop - 2007 Chevy HHR.

Car that broke my heart - 1983 Audi 5000 Turbo. I loved that car, but something failed in the fuel management system - and the mechanic couldn't find the problem to fix it.
