The car you'd hate most to drive...

Post by vegasidol »

You're broke. Destitute! You have nothing...no job...no car.

Someone gives you a car...but it's the last, worst car you could have been given!

What is it?


So far I've listed my old 88 Volvo, in the current condition my dad is still driving it in. No power, puts around like a golf cart, no A/C...the drivers seat is blown, and the paint looks like hell. (what is WRONG with him?)

#2: Yugo. Because of all the things I've heard. Not sure if the Volvo would be better or worse...

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

That's a good one those are terrible!

I'd have to vote for any 90s GM car outside of the Vette or Camaro/Firebird. They were horrid when new, I can't figure out how GM actually convinced people to spend money on them...

This is true. But at least it's an ok car under the skin.

It's better than a K car or Yugo.

I told Vira the Volvo is at least easy to repair and make into a decent daily driver. I don't think it takes much to swap a turbo into one. So at least with the Volvo, there's a reason to be optimistic. Some of these other cars are beyond redemption :lol:
