    I had an old 79 buick century. Called it the old turd because it was not only old but it was brown lol
    The heat didn't work nor did the window defroster which made it horrible to drive in the winter time. No AC either so it was hot and sticky in the summer.

    Only thing that worked really well was the radio lol.

    It was a free car because my parents had just bought a big tank buick lesabra and not long after they bought that I was Tboned on my way to a job interview less than a mile from our house. The people who sold that Century to my parents gave them this buick century to use till their lesabra was fixed. After the Lesabra was fixed they let my parents keep the Century. I needed a car for work and school so my parents gave me the century. I had to put a lot of money into fixing that turd up. It had no shocks, bounced around like crazy!! I had to get all new tires and brakes. When you opened the hood it was held together with duct tape and shoe strings lol. When I went away to a new college my parents wouldn't let me take it with me so I signed it over to my then boyfriend for $1. If you ask me that was a rip off lol But it got you where you had to go.

    One of the last Mk V Ford Cortina with a shagged clutch and a blown head gasket. But I didn't realise that when I bought it from the earnings of stacking shelves at the local supermarket!
