best and worse vehilce you have owned?
#1
I got to thinking today... what was your best and worse vehicle you have ever owned?
My worse, but best was my Lumina... it was great on gas. The 3.1 had lots of power for a family sedan... large trunk and very roomy...
Bad... it was in the shop more then out of it... the dealership here in town simply screwed me over with this car. Seats did not fold down so SPL comps we're useless for this car. Cup holders we're rendered useless if you had an after market deck...
my cavy... good... 3.1 5 speed... great for SQ and SPL... good on gas... sporty look... girls dig it... [img]tongue.gif[/img] so says all my sisters friends. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
con's... not very roomy... extremely hard to fit 4 passengers in it comfy... oil leaks are common with the engine form the high pressures... appearance mod's, and engine upgrades are few...
85 c-20... good big, propane for a cleaner the environment... 4 speeds... 350... Lots of box space for cargo and beer... rear sliding window to toss the unwanted stuff in the box. lol cup holders. lol also warms up quite fast. lol
con's... tough time turning over in the morning after sitting for a bit in the cold... weighs 5 tonnes... aero dynamics do not apply to this box... 160 is possible, but so is an extremely shaking ride...
all 3 vehicles we're good, but had their few imperfections. lol
also 99 blazers... good... pop holders, center consol... rear folding seats... V6 vortex... grips the pavement like no mans land... 4x4 is decent...
con's body dents way to easy... 4 door... lack of space to fit a BMX in the back
94 GMC sierras... good... 350.. RWD... cup holders... very sporty looking... room for 6...
cons... fuel mileage... stock stereo... rear seating...

Best car: 1993 chevrolet Cavalier. Bulletproof car. That thing did neutral drops like you wouldn't believe. Now I realize how hard that is on the tranny, but when I was 16, it was the coolest thing ever. That car taught my sister how to drive when she was 16, my brother how to drive when he was 16, and then I had it from when I was 16 until I turned 18. It has over 300k on it just from my family, the majority of it from 16 year old driver.
Worst car: 1996 Pontiac Sunfire. I bought it form 4200 dollars, drove it for 3 months and it was just falling apart. I hit a deer going about 120 on the yellowhead and totalled it off. Insurance payout was over 6ooo dollars.

My last car. '96 Camaro. Thank God I purchased an extended warranty on it. I'd say after the 5 years of owning it it probably had over 5,000-6000 dollars (US Currency) of repairs. Total POS.
My new Ford Explorer seems to be running great so far!

Worst: my 91 Lumina Z34. Thing was a blast to drive but broke down relentlessly, to the tune of over $15,000 in 5 years.
Best: A tie. Either my 86 Civic that I took from 155,000km to over 325,000km with only changing the oil every 12-15,000km, one starter, and one torsion bar. Other is my current 04 SX 2.0. I have over 75,000km and it has been to the dealer one time for a computer flash upgrade. Trunk is kinda small but I like the car.
In between are various POS GM cars I have owned. They all sucked but the Lumina topped them all.

Best; my 88 Toyota Tercel... the thing was just bullet proof.
Worst; my current 93 Olds Achieva. The first GM car I have ever owned and probably the last. The build quialty is just terrible. [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
