There's a funny thread in the main Porsche forum about the lowly Chevette:

and it got me to remembering the not-so-great cars I've owned. I actually bought a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Diesel V6 from my little old man neighbor. It had only 40,000 miles and was $300, so why not? I gave it to a down-and-out friend of mine. He drove it for two years without a hitch!
My dad bought a new 1980 Ford Mustang Ghia edition with a V8 that put out a whopping 115hp! Dark years for American iron...he's embarassed whenever I bring up that car.
Your turn to admit to cars you were ashamed to own.
