one of the worst cars in the century

Let's forget about these magazine articles.
I personally owned both one of these WORST and BEST cars...
these worst cars I've ever experienced were
both Fiat X19 (italian sportscar always broke down)
and Gremlin

Best cars were: BMW, Grand Prix and Monte Carlo

Here is a photo of Fiat X19:

When the Vega was introduced in the early 70s, General Motors predicted it would sell hundreds of thousands each year. But the ill-fated car never met those lofty expectations, plagued by poor reliability and a number of highly publicized design problems, including carburetor fires, an overheating engine and premature rusting.

Ford Pinto (1971-80)

Ford's Pinto was an eye-catching car for its day -- check out its smooth, aerodynamic design. But its groovy 70s looks belied an astonishing defect: The Pinto’s defective gas tank, if hit by another car traveling at a moderate speed, would simply burst into flames, resulting in a number of deadly fires and explosions.

Aww.. I had my first car.. 1976 Vega... It was GREAT car.. but had trouble with fuel pump often.. good thing I am into grease elbow work.. :P I had that car for 2 years before someone put sugar in the gas.. :/ that was famous doing by that in 80's ..

I had ford pinto after vega broke down.. I dont really like ford pinto.. feel unsafe cuz it was so small and light.. you could feel big cars or trucks go by on hwy, you go like floating.. lol

aww.. I miss those old cars. :/ I am not too crazy with new cars cuz of so much electric and wires.. I couldnt do elbow grease.. only just change oil or add oil & fluids.. :P
