Any vehicle:

--that is stretched.
--that has NASCAR pretentions.
--that has at least four exterior goo-gaws that can be traced to J.C. Whitney.
--with foam dice, graduation tassle, or baby shoes hanging from inside rear view mirror.
--with religious inspirational messages plastered on the back.
--made by General Motors during 1988.
--that has tires that scream, "Shiny tire dressing!"
--and, finally... any car that sports a bumper sticker of the winning presidential candidate---added to the car the morning after the official election results are known.

anything made by Kia.

Have ridden in or driven a number of strange or unusual cars, among them '51 Crosley (US), '60 DKW, '64 Avanti, '51 Stude Convertible, '54 Stude Starliner, '56 MB 220S, several '32 Auburns, '32 Duesenberg and on. Didn't own any of the above mentioned cars, although some other years of a couple of them. Would have liked to own any or all, ala Jay Leno. Never rode or drove in a Citroen DS, but any car that can nose up on a hard stop is sure worth some consideration.

So I guess the question for me would really have to be what car would I not want to be seen in as an owner! Would have to agree with the don't want a Honda "bread truck", the Pontack Aztec, esp in Black looks like Darth Vader. Not really fond of the newer ChryCo short windowed vehicles, or Any new Cadillack. Actually don't expect to own any Garb. Mtrs vehicle ever.

A Trabat (Horrible Checkoslovokian imitation of THE Worst of the FIATS)

Rumored to be why Russian Communism really fell apart economically.

If you ever drove one, you knew sooner or later, Joseph Stalin's politcal
heirs would some day fail!

Well, having once coaxed a Yugo to 100+mph and survived I can't say there all that bad. I used to beat on my Ex's mercilessly. I mean I REALLY tried to blow it up and it simply wouldn't die. Anyway, What car would I hope to never be seen in?

Anything with BLING!!

"A Trabat (Horrible Checkoslovokian imitation of THE Worst of the FIATS)"

Actually the Trabant was an East German version/cheapo evolution of the West German DKW. Was so bad mostly because of the "biodegradeable" cheesy plastic and cardboard body. A few of them were grabbed up shortly after the fall of E. Germany and brought over here for the curiosity. Also 2-cycle engines in the Trabbies did not lend them to being P.C. after the German re-unification.

However, all of the above still goes to prove the rest of your post about the Commie regimes.

I once got a 1968 Fiat 500 to 70 mph for all of 2 miles before it started overheating and losing power...................That was a pathetic car.

My DO NOT BUY list:
ANY ford truck after 1979
all ford cars
any GM after 68
no dodge unless it is I-6 diesel 24 v, then I might just take the engine
any small car I could die in if somebody forgot that their 7000 lb suv will not stop as fast as my 1200 lb ride

Soon I will be on diesel only - as soon as I get rid of the GASSER audi.

and yes I am picky (hince the 126 diesel!)

I would like to get my hands on a SMART car one of these days but then - back to the drunken sports/nascar fan in the SUV smashing into me thing.....

looks like i'll be in the 126 until I can find somthing better! (don't get your hopes up, could be another 20 years or so - I might just resort to importing a few diesels from europe - mmmmm vito van....)

Yes those 4 cyl engines just suck. Everything on that car breaks. Never try going 80mpg on that thing, oh wait YOU CANT!

Why carry a spare, just toss one of these in the trunk.
