    Mine was a 1994 Nissan Maxima. I had to put power steering fluid in it literally every day.

    I kind of had the luxury of not having a really bad car, saved up money for my first car in high school which was a 93 Integra, and was probably my favorite car ever. I guess worst car would be my 07 KIA Spectra, mainly because it's not as fun as m past cars.

    I don't think my car was bad at all, but towards the end it gave me some headaches....but come to think of it I can't complain after getting 200k miles out of it.

    Half of the issue of spending money on it was due to the damn DMV....like it was absolutely necessary to spend 900 bucks on two new catalytic converters to pass emissions?

    I loved my car, but it was pretty awful at the end, when I ran it into the ground. I'd buy it again in the future though lol

    Early 80s Dodge Aries K car. No power steering or brakes. Any time I drove something else I would slam on the brakes to stop because I was so accustomed to putting a lot of pressure on my Aries. Parallel parking was a PITA (it was college, and I did lots of street parking on campus). Also no air conditioning.

    My next car was an 87 Chrysler LeBaron. Because it was bigger than my friends' cute little sporty things, it meant I was often designated driver. The car was fine until my roommate knocked over and spilled a half-gallon of milk in it. In spite of great efforts to clean the mess, the car smelled of sour milk for months. No fun driving around Syracuse, NY in January with the windows open.

    77 Vw rabbit.. worked fine til the accident, then after that, every time it would get too warm (hit a certain temp) the engine would just shut off, didn't matter if I was doing 70 or standing still... :laugh: made for some interesting rides

    A tie between my self-destructing 2001 Dodge Intrepid ES, or my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport... Part-hungry, gas-guzzling, slow-*kitten* RUSTBUCKET P.O.S!

    My first car was an 86 Pontiac 6000. It stalled every time I turned left, and I often had to turn the car off and re-start it while I was in the middle of a road blocking both lanes of traffic. Also, if you wanted the radio on you had to physically hold the power button down. The engine was also prone to flooding. I called it the Little Car that Couldn't.
