The most shitty fleet car I ever got stuck with was a Reliant K that another rep fell asleep at the wheel and put into a cornfield. LOL! It was a total mid 1980's government car. A slushy box with a gay bench seat up front. Every time you hit a bump it would creak. I was happy to get a Chevy Celebrity after that shit.

We keep K-cars in Hell just for the sheer torment value. AMC Pacers & Gremlins too.
Couldn't keep the Ford Pintos around.... much too flammable for this climate.

I think the most shitty plastic had to be on British cars. British Leyland wasn't exactly known for quality. Also it was obvious the bean counters were cutting costs by using the thinnest gauge of wire they could get away with. Not good when the insulation comes off your sensor wires on your Lucas fuel injection. When my nephew bought a Jaguar XJ6 I just laughed at him. Yeah it looks great but if you want that as a daily driver you might want to find a bigger sucker now. He ended up dumping $3,000 into it and unloaded it for $1500.No!

Some people loved them. I guess they actually were reliable and easy to fix. Iacocca said he asked the comptroller how much cash Chrysler had. One million dollars. The payroll a week was $2 million. He didn't have much to work with. When he went to repay the government back on it's loan he was told it would take 30 days to figure out who to write the check to. He gave President Reagan a fake check in the Oval Office for a photo Op. When he told Regean it was going to take a month to find out who to write the real check out to. Reagan just laughed. Iaccoca said he made a few million extra just leaving that money in the bank drawing interest while Ronny laughed.
Hell someone probably just pocketed the money. I think $3 Trillion went missing out of the Pentagon budget when Rumsfeld was in charge.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It was a used car. I forgot the year but it was the older body style. The leather was in great shape. He thought he made a deal at $1,000. I used to have a Range Rover Classic. It was fine off road when it ran. LOL! No complaints about the off road handling but the differentials would break and the cheap ass Lucas binnacle drove me nuts. The speedometer was always breaking. I unloaded off on some guy in Utah who proceeded to beat the shit out of it in Moab. Jeremy Clarkson was right. It was ahead of it's time in 1970 and was a great design but the shitty attention to details foiled the vehicle reaching it's full potential. Oh well. I had my fun with it.No!

Of course. It's a lot better than the view from Smellvis' tricycle.
