What's the WORST car/truck you've owned?
I owned a '96 Ford Taurus GL Wagon and that thing was the bane of my exsistence. First day, right out of the parking lot, the starter dies on me. 2 weeks later, it develops this terrible valve clatter that would sound like a terrible musical number performed by the tone deaf musicians assosciation of peru. Not even 4 days after that, it decides that it wants to start over heating, well, apparently, the water pump ate its own blades. Then every coolant line started to rupture. Then the heater core went all over its beige interior and i just bypassed it and toughed out the last bit of winter. It had 186k when i bought it for 1200$. I prolly had it for 2 months and it electronic brain farted on my everytime me and my gf would have a date ON THE HWY!! Somehow, it knew just what to do to piss me off. I sold it with like 200k on it for 1000$ to some guy down the road after the front end alignment decided it didnt like being dead-on anymore, the 02 sensors started bugging out, and there was unfindable coolant leak (even some other techs couldnt even find this, my shop mentor gave up on finding it after 2 days of hunting) that looked like it was leaking coolant out of the underside of the hood! I just filled it up with some coolant and sold it to the guy and flicked the POS off as it rolled off. Glad that its gone and I hope I never see it again. Though Im most sure that it is prolly in a part pull yard or crushed. Damn it and its crappy 3.0, I honestly hope homeless people are using it as a toilet right now. They need a place to poo too right? Why not a Ford Taurus Stationwagon? :finga:
