My worst was a 1975 VW Rabbit in robin's egg blue. It was the first year they were imported to Canada, so not everything was sorted out. I bought it from a "friend" for $350 thinking it would be a reliable gas saver while I went to college. The first things I had to fix were the brake lines and struts. The car pitched…

Make something aspirational and Lincoln could thrive. Currently Lincoln makes nothing the olds want (a large comfortable highway cruiser) and instead makes 3 SUVs and a medium sized car. Why not make something as big as an S class? Put in a 5.0 or 6.2 from the truck division, perhaps with a few extra horsepower to…

Is it bad that there are 4 vehicles on this list that I actually am interested in? GMC Terrain is something I looked at before buying my Enclave, Volvo S80 because I like Volvo's comfortable sedans, Jeep Patriot is something that my sister is seriously interested in (a nursing student who lives in rural Alberta -…

Vancouver BC was terrible when I lived there. Snow there tended to be quite wet and therefore more slippery. Couple that with a large immigrant population who have never seen snow in their home countries and who have minimal driving experience and you have a disaster if a tiny amount of snow falls.

First, I have to ask - did the welder take your tire off the rim before his attempt? Could have easily been an explosion because the heat of the weld causes the air in the tire to expand - which is why in welding school I was taught that if I ever welded on a rim it had better not have a tire attached to it. BTW,…

When my F350 was stolen in April, I called the cops, then my insurance agent. I got together all of my receipts for recent work that proved the value of my truck, and I was completely honest with the insurer about the equipment that the truck had and things that weren't necessarily good for me - the windshield was…

Surprised nobody has mentioned the Ford Tempo/Mercury Topaz. Uncomfortable, poorly made, ugly, prone to break-downs, terrible pieces of crap. The only good thing I can say about it is that it was a car, had four wheels, and would mostly stop and go. Other than that, it was terrible. Awful. Abhorrent. Abysmal.

I had forgotten about this terrible affront to the automotive world as it has been so long since I saw one moving under it's own power or even in a junkyard. It was one of the only vehicles I ever drove that could barely reach 65 mph. The vehicle I took driver training in all those years ago was a Chevette. It…

Did you ever think that maybe she had a reason to be driving like that? Like perhaps she had a sick child in the back seat and she was on her way to the hospital? Or her neighbor called and told her that her house was on fire? You moron.

About 15 years ago I was newly married and had a second job delivering pizzas in another town to help pay down our wedding debt. My car was a 1993 Ford Festiva, with a whopping 63 horsepower and a five speed manual transmission.

I had a Lumina that had only the 3rd brake light working, just like the villian in your story. Turns out because of the way it is wired the if the signal light switch goes defective, only the 3rd brake light works. Signal lights and flashers work, but unless someone tells you, you would never know that the brake…

Without a doubt, I have to nominate the pickup truck - 5 to 10 years old, lots of torque, powerful V6 or V8 engines, light weight over the driving axles which generally also have a low gear ratio which tend to break the rear end loose, high center of gravity, and handling which plows through the corners. And, because…

I once had a Huawei air card (think data only cellular connection). It was the worst, most unreliable, consistently junky piece of garbage that I ever used. From its first day, it ran hot (like +110F), and when I called my provider to complain I was told that they all ran like that. After a year of terrible…
