SO what car that you have owned still makes you break out in a cold sweat when you think about it? Which one did you spend more time fixing then driving? The one that left you stranded in the most inconvenient spots. The one that you drove no further than AAA/CAA towing range.
Me? I had a VW Cabriolet with GTI engine and suspension. THe car was a joy to drive, when it would move. My new group of friends were all in the VW repair or parts industry. My most embarrassing breakdown was with my dad in the car. Went to one of those quick lube places. He hated the car and could not figure out why I was putting so much money into the POS. Well, after getting the oil changed, I started it up and found no oil pressure. NONE. Pushed it out and had it towed. Oil pump had failed! Of course, this did nothing to change his view and I heard plenty about it in the coming days and weeks from him....
So what is the worst automotive nightmare you have owned?
