yeah man i guess i havent had the opportunity to drive a bad car but yeah the e39 bodies are my favorites i dont like the bangle butt on new bimmers. but yeah that was what surprised me the most the outside look decent but the drive was atrocious

I also remember when i had to drive a wrecked e60 M5 at the bmw body and felt like wow this car was not meant to be in this condition here are some pics i took. Apparently what happened to the car was that the owner lost control and hit a pole in a parking lot.

1970something baby blue pinto (ugh!) My wife and I left our wedding in it 25 years ago on March 3rd. July of that year ('84), I was fortunate enough to get a great job and bought a brand new 1984 Honda Prelude. Now that was a great, first new car! Kept it for 10 years and over 100k miles.

Sure sounds like good ol' Newark to me!

Smart choice btw... would've done the same!

I also drove a 2001 Honda Accord coupe once. This wasn't your average Accord though. The steering wheel was missing a few buttons. Gas gauge didn't work. No A/C controls. Radio had a smashed screen. Worst body kit on the planet. Did I mention the doors didn't lock from the outside and the door handles also don't work? The guy who owned that car ironically came to the hotel with a car full of attractive girls. Who knows.

LMAO I remember you telling me about that last one. Mine would have to be my friends chevy cavalier 1997 this thing leaks like a sing when it rains you have a swimming pool inside. NO JOKE also the streaming shakes like a wheel is about to fall off.

I'm a car guy. I've never driven a bad car -- always manage to find a way to have fun no matter what I'm driving! That's how it should be.

For me it was a 1981 Dodge Omni O24 hatchback. The stock car was a piece of crap. No balls, cheap plastic (this was the time of K Cars too). Shelby helped them develop a race model that seemed to do fairly well but I was forever traumatized with that O24.

1984 Mazda 626. It had more dings, dents, and problem than I thought possible on a car. The color was a rainbow of em, Had everything from pink to black, brown to **** copper. Clutch was constantly slipping oh and did I mention it had NO A/C in one of Texas' hottest summers on record. Yea kinda suckd, googled it and here she is

Fiat Panda... I drove this project car around Crete for a weekend. I never felt more vulnerable in my life...I feel more protected on my Harley.

1972 VW Super Beetle. Friend was drinking so I drove his car. Seating position was cocked to the side, brakes had to be pumped to work, no power, not the easiest car to change gears. It actually sounded really nice though, 1 of the better sounding beetles I have ever heard.

Sounds like you had a real prize there, one that could give my '88 Thunderturd a run for it's money. I'll see if I can dig up a photo and come back with a description.
