Worst vehicle I've ever owned would have to be my old 86 escort. If you've ever heard the adam sandler pos car song, you know how the car looked and drove.

Worst I've owned, 77 GMC Truck with a 350. Looked terrible, ran terrible, didn't go 3 months without being in the shop, there was always something wrong with it.

1980 Citation or (new) 1981 Camaro V-6. Both contenders for the Yugo award.

The worst car I have ever owned was a Yugo. Don't ask why I owned one, but that has to be the biggest piece of junk that has ever hit the road ever. I never did drive the car on the road. We did drive it home from when I brought it. My dad had to drive it home because I didn't have a liscense yet. He never could find out how to get it into 2nd gear. We had to shift from 1st directly to 3rd. Piece of junk.

Worst Car was 84 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Old "Woody" was having electrical problems and oil leaks on a weekly basis. Runner up would be 80 Chevy Monza- POS. The best thing was the Roadmaster Radio. The best vehicle was either my 88 Ranger 4x4 X-Cab, 2.9- over 193K and the most reliable ride ever. Also, my 89 Corolla GTS and 87 VW Golf GT were great vehicles too.

Worst you've ever owned:
Null vote here, I like all 3 cars that I've owned ('78 Delta 88, '70 F-100, '00 Celica GT-S)

Worst you've ever seen:
'Modded' compact cars. Import, domestic... it doesn't matter. 9 out of 10 times it's a half-assed job and they never get around to starting what they finish.

Mechanically or physically, I want your worst, and if you have pictures (don't know why you would, BUT....), please include or email to me. Thanks a lot everybody:

Worst owned: 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, bought it new and in four years only managed to put 32,000 miles on it. The rest of the time is was broken down.

Worst I have ever seen: Pontiac Aztek hands down.

Best owned: 1987 Honda Accord, bought it new also and as of today have put 342,000 on it. It is a boring car to be sure but dead realiable.

Favorite owned: 1969 Buick GS400 Stage 1. I bought that one when it was two years old and kept it for 21 years and put 375,000 on it before it rusted away underneath me.

pontiac le mans?

I had what I think was a 1990 pontiac lemans . It was not made by G.M. . I think it was made by opal or daewoo or whatever anyways it was the worst nightmare of a car I ever owned. The front brake calipers would lock up and drag on the pads constantly. I think I replaced the calipers 3 times in the 1year I had it. Also replaced the cam shaft and lifters twice. The lifters were always clacking. had to replace head gaskets twice to fix leaks. You had to buy new head bolts every time @ $8 EACH THEN THE BOLTS COULD ONLY BE USED ONCE AS THE BOLTS STRETCHED AS YOU TORQUED THEM. Car had manual rack and pinion sterring that would at times grind. Finnialy, the car was a death trap on wheels With paper thin sheet metal all around I was lucky that I never got into a serious accident.
