What's the worst car you ever owned, BUT.....

[tcrist]

1965 GTO convertible, 389, 3 deuces, 4 sp, 12 bolt posi. Every time I ran it hard the carbs would need to be re- synched (sp). Would love to have it back now.

Fiat X19. Darn thing would start on fire "every-so-often".

That was a love/hate relationship.

1964 GTO set up the same as the one above. Carbs were a ***** to keep synched, and I was going through tires real fast (too much fun to lay some posi marks on the pavement). I wish I never would have sold that car.

I used to work in a repair shop for Citroens, a long time ago. Those cars were never built with the mechanic in mind. I never owned one, but speaking not only for myself, but also for the rest of mechanics that worked in our shop, these cars belong into the catgory of worst cars.
Had a love/hate relationship with a 68 bigblock Vette. I replaced just about everything mechanical on it, but that car was possessed and it would find countless ways to get me to call AAA with a flatbed...
Still was a beautiful car, my first big block 4 speed, very fast and made an awesome sound, sometimes I still miss it.

I second the Citroen comments. The comment regarding the 'vette indicates it truly was a love/hate relationship...kind of like some of the women in my life.

1970 Datsun 240Z. The very first of the early cars brought into So Cal, bought it new for $3500 with polished "Astro" aluminum wheels (remember those?). Had a guy named Molly do the paint striping on it (he was doing paint on drag cars from the 60's). The car was sporty, but had horrible bump steer every time you'd go over railroad tracks then shimmied for a while. Smelled like Japanese plastic and had a lousy radio. But very collectible today.
