The cars of my life (in order of appearance and after #4 includes wife's cars):

1. 1978 Datsun King Cab truck (orange, "rest in peace my friend")
2. 1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455 (white w/blue stripe, "didn't lose too many stop light enounters")
3. 1980 VW Scirocco (white w/black stripes, "first rally car")
4. 1985 Ford Mustang GT (5.0/5 spd, maroon, "many many tires")
5. 1987 Mazda 323 (4 spd (don't ask), white, "dead reliable commuter")
6. 1994 VW Jetta (black, automatic, "POS")
7. 1990 Jeep Cherokee Limited (red, automatic, "why did I buy this?")
8. 1997 Nissan Altima (automatic, black, "yawn")
9. 1997 Land Rover Discovery (green, loaded, "totalled by wife")
10. 1994 Chevy S-10 (4cyl, 5spd, white, "ah another trusty friend")
11. 1999 Land Rover Discovery II (white, "nice truck...but get the extended warranty")
12. 1986 Porsche Carrera (V6 , black, 5 spd, "nothing but net!")

My guess for worst car was the 94 Jetta. Bought it new and parts literally fell from the car. Full brakes every 15K miles (warped rotors), slow as Heinz and bad mpg, bad starter, bad transmission, leaky sunroof. I was thankfull the day we traded that POS in.
