Worst Cars you have ever owned

I figured I'd share my horror story cars with you all. Feel free to post the worst cars/bikes/planes/armored tanks you have owned.

1. 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel. No acceleration, a crappy AM-only radio with one speaker, the thing spewed diesel soot and routinely had to have the fuel system purged of water. Eventually was turned into a cabriolet my me and my axe-wielding buddies.

2. 1987 Ford Aerostar, technically my mom's car, however i spent so much time fixing it I think of it as mine. TWO heater cores just exploded on this POS. Why is it that the power steering unit on all these cars is louder than the engine? Thank god my mom wised up and got rid of it.

3. 1983 Plymouth K-car. Owned very briefly, enough to have fun driving it into walls, over curbs, off-road. Hey when you get five of your friends to chip in on a $200 barely running car, think of the afternoon fun! Had holes in the floorboards, blew plumes of white smoke, and even had a rag for a gas cap. The car now currently resides in a canyon. We left it there, don't ask.
