I was working my way through the thread waiting for someone to mention Renaults. They were cheaper than shit in the 70s (wonder why) and front wheel drive so a few of my friends tried them as ski town cars. Disaster resulted.
I see the Renault and raise Peugeots. A friend of my mom's gave me one in the 70s because he couldn't sell it - after 20 minutes of driving the clutch started progressively slipping until it wouldn't go any more. It had four on the tree. My buddies and I had a blast destroying it the rest of the way. We seriously entertained the idea of setting it on fire and rolling it off the local sea cliffs, but...ecology or something.

ahem.
let me just........ slow you all down a little, with your relatively speedy gremlins and LeCars and Yugos, as I pull in front of you, pitifully bogging down, coughing and sputtering climbing this gentle incline, attempting to hide behind a tiny black cloud, laying down the foul stench of failed engineering, perpetually leading a never-ending "parade of frustration" wherever I travel in The. Official. Worst. Car. Ever.....
the DIESEL fuckin CHEVETTE!

So my friend's older brother had one of these. One day after high school, we loaded like 10 of us in it and went to the lake for some good old fashioned cliff jumpin at lake Allatoona (Bmills might have heard of it). We actually made it to the lake and nobody died jumping off the cliffs. But on the way back, something caught fire under the front passenger seat and we all had to Chinese fire drill it outta there. It looked like a clown show, ten teenage dudes jumping out of a burning Chevette. If I remember correctly, a drive shaft bearing went bad and caught the whole thing on fire somehow. It literally burnt to the ground on the side of Hwy 92. That was the end of hearing his brother brag on and on about the 55 miles a gallon.

What was the car that would explode when rear ended due to some executive cutting out a $1 O ring on the gas tank?

I thought I owned the worst car ever made a 76 mustard yellow 4 dr. Plymouth Volare with a white vinyl top. I bought it in the eighties for short money a virtually no miles on it. Worst thing about it was it was too ugly to die. It started to rot the day after I bought it. The fenders were replaced in a recall and I was almost too embaresed by the way it looked to get it done. The best thing about it was the mopar 318 under the hood ( which resulted in me going through 3 rear ends, quality engineering right there.)
Anyway I thought I had the worst car ever to leave Detriot until my wife came home with a 78 Dodge Omni. Words cannot describe.Damn, we're in a tight spot!

The worst car
It's not just the performance, it's the luxury. Used to drive this thing between Seattle and South Bay a few times a year, lounging on the front velour bench seat comfortably at a top speed of 66 mph...48 past Shasta.
