Say what you will, but others were doing things at the time that made those cars look like absolute gems:

50 worst cars of all time

I encourage you to read the entire list -- it's highly entertaining!

I have a relative that has a convertible K-car. He only keeps it because it was the first year that convertibles were re-introduced to the American market.

I guess that makes it valuable.

He also uses it to tote prom queens and such in the local parades.

I like the fact that no G3 was in that article...LOL

I remember the Yugo....good Lord those things were terrible. I'm surprised the GEO Metro didn't make the list, another total POS.

True, true. The list could use a few additions in my opinion, but I suppose they had to stop at 50. One of the things I liked, though, was that nobody got spared -- even Ferrari and BMW.

car.

Planes trains and automobiles from 1986 (I believe). Steve Martin & john candy together. Very funny. Like a Star @ heaven

I happen to know there were 3 of those cars -- the film crew were staying at the hotel I was working at at the time, and they had 3 of those on a trailer they would haul out to their location and back every day. One day the third one came back completely torched, but the other two left intact when they finally departed. If someone wants them, they might still be out there... Smile
