@DoctorNine: He had no idea wtf happened. One minute he's taking some tight turns, next thing he's on the high side of a tree trunk. They took what was left of the car apart and couldn't spot any mechanical failure so they just chalked it up to teenage stupidity. My friend was convinced the car was possessed and we…

@DoctorNine: I had a friend in high school restore one with his dad. It came out of the garage of some relative who hadn't driven it in 15 years so it cost them nothing. They spent a year working on it and, on the very first solo drive he made in it, he wrapped it around a tree.

@Alfisted: Enrico Pallazo?

@crewcutkid: Every time my BMW breaks down, I absolutely blame Germany for being a shitty country.

Had a white '99 wagon that's still running strong with 170k miles on it. Only problem I ever had with it was when the power steering pump blew and somehow, due to a great American design, it caused the front axle to crap out.

@7ruthslayer: Point. He also made a comment about not being able to brake in the game like you could in an actual car.

Clarkson tried this....he tried to take an NSX around Laguna Seca to beat his time from on of the Gran Turismo games and couldn't even come close.

@LastAndLeast: Pawn shops in Vegas will buy ANYTHING. And there's something to be said for having $30k in cash put into your hand in 5 minutes.

@Jon: $6k for a rebuild seemed outrageous to me but, then again, I'm accustomed to engines you can find in almost any junkyard.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: I like the newest episode where he screwed the pooch buying the Austin Healey with the spun bearings.

Honestly, it looks like it's been sitting in a parking lot for a few days. What's irritating to me is, in pic #4, it looks like theres a dent above the rear wheel well that hasn't been fixed....

@brandegee: What car doesn't need a Bloomberg terminal?

I like how almost every list has a Cadillac on it and mine is no different....

@Turbineguy - now with reheat!!: Since this was my very first car I can't support it being boring. However, I can say the thing was a piece of crap.

I guess beige really is biting back...

Obviously....

I drive a '75 Eldorado and some of the local parts yards get '70s Caddy's in on a not so occasional basis. By the time one these cars get there, they're in such bad shape there's not much you can do to them to make them worse. Sometimes a car is so bad it just doesn't matter what you do to it to get what you're…

@SagarikaLumos: A former, underaged acquaintance drove a Trofeo....what a piece of crap. Then again, the reason she drove it is because she was drunk and wrecked her Explorer into the back of it and, as punishment, her father forced her to buy it and drive it around, unfixed, for a year.

@koolykool44: And nothing handles better than a rental car, either.
