1996 Grand Prix.. first the tranny blew, then the motor a month after the tranny got fixed...

 

Uh, it was a car built from two cars? A Chrysler-built Plymouth and an American Motors made Rambler (well, it was probably before American Motors).

If you checked the Prius bulletin board they had a hack that turned that d*mned beep off. But I have to agree - I lost thousands getting rid of my Prius just to be rid of it.

 

a 1956 Dodge p/up tk I had looooong ago.. What a plie..

adding a 305" chevy helped. But the bad outweighted the good.

 

1960 mercury comet with a rusty roof

 

1982 Nissan Stanza.

 

I bought one of these for 1 dollar for each pound of compression he could find paid 20.00 I put a new head on it and couldn't kill it after that cool push button tranny but very ugly I called it the Gallant Valiant

 

Oh Lord, Virgil Exner's finest! Man alive SS, hadn't seen one of those for years, not sure I wanted to see another one either. Those "Chicken Wing" Valiants had their own special brand of ugly didn't they?

 

Yea it was ugly but at the same time it ran like a champ and for the era it was in handled good too. Remember skipping school and running up to Canada in it We had a good time. How did we avoid the truant officers at the border??

 

My '86 Cavalier RS. Looked great, but leaked everything like a sieve. It spent more time at the dealership than at my place.
I traded it for an '88 Corsica that is rumored to still be on the road today.

I bought a new 1975 Jeep CJ5 304 3 sp. had it 6 weeks and the shifting fork in the trans. broke took 8 weeks to get it fixed. The funny thing is I lived in Toledo OH. and that is where they are built! Then the heater core leaked inside. The final straw was when the posi. trac. rear end went out and I had to hold it in second gear (shifting fork bent) all this took only 6 months. The funny thing is I am now looking to get another one to tow behind our motor home when we retire in 2 years. I never claimed to be smart.
