Default Sh*test car or truck

Some friends and in the shop here are laughing and remembering stories about the sh*test cars we have owned. I keep recalling all the messed up times in this 1970 Ford pick up I owned, it was a 8 cylinder but seemed like it was running on 6 cylinders. It was seriously an Uncle buck truck, when you shut that thing off there was a loud bang!

So what was your sh*test car or truck?

I had a 1978 Chevy Nova, 6cyl with spray can black paint on it! Both shocks in the rear were tied together through the rusted holes in the trunk by hanger wire!!! All the seats were covered with just some blankets my mom had given me. Man I miss that ride!!

I had a 74 Chevy Impala 4 door with
a 400 2 barrel. It had three different
color primers painted over the most
ugly light green. It was a dog and
wouldn't even do a burn out if you
did a reverse drop going backwards
down a hill.
" reverse drop is when you go in
reverse real fast & slam it in drive & floor it"

The entire exhaust system was held
together with split tin cans and coat
hanger wires after ripping it off going
over some railroad tracks way too fast!!!
But I had alot of great times in it!!!

73 green super beetle. Dad bought it for my sister. She hated it so it got passed down to me. Only thing it was good for was chasing jackrabbits in the horse pasture. Then after wife and I got married we bought a full size van. Damn we have come a long way.

'82 Toyota pickup that had almost 400,000 miles on it! The body was near completely rusted and smelled like sulfur.

1986 K5 Blazer, I got paid to take it from my uncle and it had a 305 with no power and 8 mpg highway, I open the tail gate and the only two solid chunks of floor were under the rusted solid hinges and the tail gate fell off when I opened it.

1984 Turd brown Camaro in college, thats right that thing was a Z28 and had a super ugly 2 tone. Turd brown on the top and darker brown strip on the bottom. That car was seriously a heap! The car was a 8 cylinder but I seriously think it was running on 6!
