[BMWCSRegistry] 50 Worst Cars of All Time

[rhroadie at aol.com]

Yes I admit some of those cars were ugly and some just plain didnt do the job they were intended too. But I find just being ugly little reason to say they are the worst cars.  I remember in college a friend had a Gremlin X, not exactly a head turner but it ran like a scalded rat. The Pacer was just ahead of its time by 20 yrs. Take a good look at the entry level  hatchbacks, or the "crossovers" that are being pushed of today, notice any similarities, besides the Pacer looks better than most of the new crossovers.





On occasion, I wonder whether the Ford Excursion would be a good replacement for my F-250 Diesel, Crew Cab 4X4 with a shell on the back. On occasion only, I sincerely doubt I would give it any more thought than that. Still, they are about the same size and I don’t ever remove the shell, hmmmm. They do have Excursions with Diesel power too, hmmm. But I’ve never seen an Excursion with a 6 speed manual though. Oh well, enough of those mental exercises. Back to work.

I found it rather funny.  Every car manufacturer has their..."oops" moments....some more than others.  I agreed with most of what he said...especially the reference to the 74 Jag as a "thing"....it was a horrific perversion of a once glorious car...in the realm of the last e9 with 2.5 engine...they should have just put the thing out of it's misery rather than trying to carry it on in a new form.  I think he was very kind to the '02 7-series...much kinder than words used to describe it on this very list back in '02-'03...I remember well!!

who is the smug bastard writing about these cars, then letting on that he and his family owned several and liked them?  He puts the Chevette on the list then admits he crossed the USA three times without a problem in one?  What does it prove to sneer at cars made 50 to 100 years ago?  That you can be a snide jackass?  Well congrats, you've made your useless point.

Seems like someone else drew up the list, and some poor schmuck tried to save himself from his fate by being "funny".  Dumbassmofo I'll drag you behind a any 735i, including my own with broken windshield and rotten exhaust, through the streets of this town, should you ever dare to show up here.

Back in the 70s I remember a big ad campaign for "the shape of things to come"... then saw a dark green TR7, bad ly wre cked in front, in a junkyard with that slogan penned across the remains of the hood and fender.  Never forgot that, it was so appropriate a rejoinder to the hype that was smeared all over the car.

I haven't owned any of the listed cars, but would still love to have one or several if only I could choose...
