Worst car you ever owned?

Posted by olddude55 on February 16, 2005 at 20:05:55

Mine was a 1965 Buick LeSabre four-door sedan. Dude I bought it from parked it over a big mud puddle so I wouldn't look under it and see how rotten the frame was.
The back bumper was welded on as that was the only way there was any support for the rear of the car.
The 300 V-8 leaked more oil than the Exxon Valdez, barely got 10mpg on the most expensive premium I could find.
I spent weeks rebuilding the stupid split driveshaft for nothing because there was no way that thing was going to pass inspection without a frame.
Eventually, I drove it to the junkyard, but the last half-mile was on three wheels as the driver's side front loosened and fell off.
