Your most ghetto/crap car ever

[Nicklz]

I know the age difference varies on the board some older members may have had cars youunger guys don't even know.

This is for the worst car, the most ghetto car, and just plain crap of a car you've ever owned.


post pics if you got them.

That would be the 86 Chrysler 5th avenue or something that we drive. Low miles, shag carpet, leather seats, ... and I put in a tach. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Mine was a 1985 Chrysler New Yorker (it was the smallest box one) I'm sure in it's day it was a nice car. The only thing I liked about the car was that it talked. It said things like "low fuel, door ajar, don't forget your keys, lights are on, please buckle" I always wanted to rerecord the voice to say something cooler like "get gas you cheap @**" or "buckle up this car may fall apart while in motion"

My grandparents gave me this car, it had sat in their garage for many years. So I drove it around while saving for something else. But stuff kept breaking on it, and I never fixed them because I didn't want to spend any money on it. The brakes wore out, didn't replace them, just let them grind down to nothing untill it was metal to metal grindding the rotor to nothing.

The front tires were so bald when I finally got rid of it the belts in the tires were showing. Didn't help me never getting it aligned.

It sprang a few oil leaks, I guess grandpa never broke it in good. I sure did, wasn't used to it and started leaking. The oil would hit the exhaust and smoke would filter out the cracks in the hood at stop lights. People would give me the strangest looks. haha

And the tilt adjuster finally broke right before I quit driving it. You'd drive down the road, if you let go of the wheel it would just tilt all the way up.

So there is my ghetto ride.

We bought some $400 84 honda hatchback that was supposed to last like 6 mos. back when I had my truck. That thing was a pile.

Made an account just to post this. It was my first car, a 1979 VW Scirocco. Not much to look at but it was reliable and cheap. No A/C though, but who can complain? $500 car and lasted for quite a few years. Big pimpin' in the Vee to the Douba-uzzi! :D

my parent sbougth a K-car for us kids to bop around in.

If you know anything about these cars, then you know why it's it THEE CRAPPIEST car ever.

my first car was a 93 Dodge Intrepid ES 3.5 V6.

Strong engine, but absolute NIGHTMARE of electrical problems, A/C problems, tranny problems...everything.

However, it was peppy (almost to par with a Grand Prix GT) and was very comfortable.

85 chevy celebrity with 2 JBLs up front and a 15" sub in the trunk lol..it was a ghetto tank

My first truck was an 81 Toyota 4x4. Not near as bad as the accord we had for a few months, but it had problems. Leak in the passenger side door, transfer case was messed up somehow and was never fixed, so I never really got to go 4x4in :( The thing leaked fluids like crazy. I can't remember what was wrong with the front disc brakes but it leaked brake fluid on the inner side of the rim/time like crazy, and it has some other fluid leaks going on around the engine as well. Alternator went out when I was driving it and shortly after I got my second car the A/C broke in it. But it was lifted on oversized tires and it was a blast when I had it. I miss driving it, washed it last weekend for the first time in 6 - 8 months. Had a great system, and now it has a different (but still good) system in it. I never really got to do what I wanted with it. Pics on my cardomain if you wanna see. I couldn't find any pics that had any similarity to the Accord we had. Was a red hatchback. I kinda thought it was cool the first month we got it and wanted to drive it instead of the truck, but now I realize how much better the truck was.

Toss up
1985 Dodge Aries (K-Car)
1990 Dodge Spirit

Both ran forever with over 200k miles, leaked fluids, but never died, looked like crap!

Traded the 1990 beater dodge spirit in last year for 3k in trade(push pull or drag in trade deal)

I also had a 87 bronoII, it was the beast though. It really wasn't in bad shape but it had 488,000 (never rebuilt either, but 3 transmissions) miles on it when I sold it. Leaked a bit of oil, had a little bit of rust around the rear wheel wells, and scrathces from tree branches from off roading. I miss the brono.

1989 Volvo... forgot what kind. Four door piece of crap, though. It was two colors, too. Thankfully I only had it for two months before I got my Camaro
