    Best: 1969 Camaro Z28 I bought with help from my girl friend in 1974 when I was 16. I did end up marrying her so I didnt have to pay her back. =) I sold the Camaro for 3 X what I payed for it in 1979 after my daughter was born. =) Worst: 1990 Ford Ranger, one of the years the paint came off the primer.

    I'm jealous! This was my first car love. Never got to own one and sure cant afford one now (not one in a single piece including engine anyway) :drinker:

    Best: 1988 Chevy S10 Tahoe 4.3L V6 Pickup. It had 73,000 miles on it when I bought it for $3,000 in 1991 as a 17-year old. I sold it in 2000 with 260,000 miles on it for $3,000. Never had one problem with it, so I basically had a truck for almost 10 years that cost me nothing more than gas, oil and tires.

    Worst: I know some people swear by them, but I have had lousy luck with Fords. The worst being my wife's Mustang that decided to catch fire and burn to the ground in the parking lot of the apartment complex we lived in at the time.

    Best = 1986 Acrua Legend. 295,000 and it still ran like a bat outta hell. My Father purchased it brand new and I bought it off him back in 1999.
    I sold it because of rust holes in the firewall.

    Worst = 2001 Pontiac Aztek. I bought it brand new and didn't even make it home. The torque converter locked up so it would stall every time I stopped. It was fixed in two days and, a week later, the pass side axle fell out. I lemon lawed it.
    Ironiclly, I bought another 2001 Aztek and never had a single problem.

    I had a Red Aztek 2001 - it was legit with the tent package. Though everyone hated it. It worked great for moving anything

    Worst Car 2007 Pontiac G6 - Lemon lawed it.

    Tie between 2001 - Chevrolet Monte Carlo - still miss that car. It was huge as hell.... but fun to drive.
    and 2008 Pontiac G6 GXP - i love the look of it and 80k mi in, it still runs good.

    What was wrong with your first G6, may I ask? I have one now..want to be prepared for what MAY happen in the future lol

    Don't read too much into a lemon lawed car.
    I have lemoned two vehicles.
    my first was a 1997 Chevrolet tracker. I kept tearing third gear out of it.
    Once I got my money back, I bought another one and it was trouble free.

    The second one was my 01 Aztek but, like the Tracker, I bought another one and was happy.

    The only warning I can give on the Pontiac (GM engines is that if your G6 has the 3.1 V6 engine, the intake manifold has a plastic manifold gasket that tends to puke after about 35K

    Best - 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi - tuned her up, it was a bloody beast of a car. Had to sell her when the kids got too big...damn kids...

    Worst - 1978 Chrysler Cordoba. Was my first car, bought it without knowing it didn't have reverse, absolute pig on gas/oil, engine blew in the middle of the highway, painting peeling everywhere. Redeeming feature was that it had a huge back seat for *cough* sleeping.
