Vega's aren't so bad when you drop in a v-8, add a roll cage and a 4 link!

I've always had a special loathing for the Chevy Citation and all of its sisters. Drove like a bus with bad suspension and under-inflated tires!

Don't you be dissin' my Citation! I loved my Citation and would have bought another one if they still made them

But I have to admit they came with cheap tires and even cheaper shocks. I upgraded to better shocks from this:

Honorable mention muxt go to the Cadillac El Dorado, circa 1980. It had the first attempt at making an engine with variable 8-6-4 cylinder engine. It sounded great on the drawing board, but worked horribly in the real world. The engineering simply wasn't up to the challenge.

Honorable mention must go out to the Ford EXP. It was an Escort with less room. Still not sure what Ford saw aiming for with this one.

1974 Ford Pinto

Crappy quality, reputation for exploding in a mild rear end crash.

Now that's just wrong... Just because the car explodes, doesn't make it a bad car.

EDIT: At least the Ford Taurus was comfortable and smooth to drive...
