Default LOL, Me too

This was my first car. I got it used from a friend of the family for free. Lasted 2 months then the steering went out and I crashed into the curb (wheel turned and turned but did nothing). If it happened 2 minutes earlier I would have been on the highway.

Traded my '73 Capri for a '75 Buick Skyhawk in 1979. A total POS. GM imprinted me for life.

Default I think this quote from one of the "worst cars ever" lists covers it nicely:

"1983 Renault Allliance: The Motor Trend Car of the year. I bet you can't find anyone of them on the road after 1990. This I remember was one of the biggest disappointments in car history. Piece of crap. My friend had one. Totally fell apart. The 1983 Renault Alliance scored in worst ratings in "Engine", "Clutch", "Driveline", "Engine cooling", "Suspension", "Exhaust system", "Automatic transmission" and "Manual transmission" ratings."
