Worst car you've ever owned? Me: VW Dasher

11. Hah!

Back in 1977 I had that white station wagon, although I can't swear to its original color; the previous owner had repainted it -- with a brush; still had brush marks around the windows. The passenger doors quit working, so I had to crawl in through the tailgate and crawl over the seats to get behind the wheel. I was driving it into the shop for safety inspection and the steering wheel came off in my hands. Later that day the hood latch broke and the hood came up while I was on the highway; only by the grace of God did I make it over to the side of the road without wrecking. The final blow came one winter morning when I turned on the heater and it blew snow in my face. Sold it for $50, $25 less than I paid for it. And I was wishing I had my Corvair back.
