1985 Chevrolet Chevette
My wife and I bought this car new. Had no power, no handling, not comfortable, crappy gas mileage, no pickup, no top end. The only nice thing we could say about it was that it never broke down. We used to call it "The Vette", as in "If you are going to visit your sister, why don't you take The Vette since she lives in a shitty end of town?" |
|
The ugliest car ever made is the Pontiac Aztek, which all the members of the various and sundry Xterra clubs call The AssTek.

I was riding on a bus in Korea one time (the only way to travel while in the ROK). We stopped at a light and a small sedan about the size of a Chevy Cavalier pulled along side. It was made by Isuzu. On the side were 4" stylish letters that said, I bullshit you not, .... "Impact." [BD] Panzer Out |
