Same. A VW bug from the late 60s or early 70s. My dad bought it as one of his retirement projects. He cut it up and added wood panels to make it look like a Woody from the 40s. He did a really amazing job. I drove that car a few times before he started working on it, usually just to the store if it was blocking my car in. That thing was horrible! It was hard to steer and the brakes felt non-existent. I was always afraid it wasn't going to stop, but by some miracle it did!My cousin's VW Beetle... It was from like the early 70's. I think those cars are adorable, but OMG that thing felt like a deathtrap to ride in.
We had a Fiat 500L4-door with the turbo engine. It was zippy. Great commuter car, and first car for our oldest daughter. Had ut for 6 years before we passed it on.Fiat neither sporty nor comfortable.

For some reason, my dad bought one of these. And it was the gray one with the red like this.. Worst car ever. And of course my brother bought a Fuego. HAHAHA. Renault.... Hunks of junk.
The worst car I've ever owned myself was a Mazda 626. But that was a good car.
Nope. No feats of strength and poles in the house in December for us. Dad's Le Car had a rusted floor board too. It did get up steep hills far better than the Champ did. Although it always overheated at the top. HAHA.Was your dad Frank Costanza?
An old qcquaintance of mine used to drive Plymouth Champ. We called it the Flintstone mobile becuase there were holes in the floorboards. We used to have to root for the champ to get it up a steep hill! I didn't actualyl ride with him much, but ocassionally.
It was something like this, but not sure if that is the exact year.

I'm old enough to remember when Fiat was run out of the U.S. car market in the 1970's and why you almost can't find a Fiat dealer today. Fiat has dropped every model except the 500e in the U.S*. . And my son and DIL had one of those. There was a reason a 2 year old car with 25,000 miles on it was only $7,000! Nobody would work on it.We had a Fiat 500L4-door with the turbo engine. It was zippy.

Oh man. When I was in the military, one close friend had a Le Car, and another had a Suzuki Samurai. I think it was a conspiracy to make me drive everywhere, because they didn’t even like driving their own cars! I just had a plain Subaru GL Wagon, but it was a great car.View attachment 822218
