worst car ever?

What was yours?

Mine was a 1955 Morris Minor sedan. I bought it used in England in 1967. It got 45 miles to the [Imperial] gallon, and 45 miles to the pint of oil. It was geared extremely low [I was in 4th gear by 18mph] but the compression was chronically so low that it couldn't pull even a modest hill with two passengers. It was Spleen Green with a black trunk [the result of backing into a light pole]. I didn't have a key to the black trunk lid that I got from the junk dealer, so I'd just pry the bent back bumper to open it, and, once I took out the oil and put the trunk lid in the proper position, kick the bumper into "lock position."

I decided to sell it when I was passed by a tractor pulling a harrow on a Bedfordshire country lane [compression again]. The guy I sold it to was an alky. He'd drive to town, hit the pub, forget he had a car and catch the bus home. I'd get a call from the Beds Constabulary about leaving my auto in a bad zone. I'd remind them that we'd already done the transfer bit [no computers in those days].

Anyhow in late 1969, he'd left the car on a blind corner, and a lorry sideswiped it. The entire right side of the car dislodged. It was being held together only by rust particles.

So, your candidate?
