6. Try a Yugo, if you can still find one that has not self destructed...
They were obsolete Fiats made in Communist Yugoslavia, imported here...the best of all possible cars!

He put 150K miles on it before it died.

7. I had a Pinto and I loved it.
Great little car.

Except for that gas-tank explosion thing. Never had that problem with mine.

8. I drove the hell out of a Mercury Bobcat, essentially the same car.
And yeah, it was a terrific little car when it wasn't exploding in a giant ball of flame.

15. Try a Chevette
Or any Toyota from the 70's, or '70's VW Rabbit, with rust in the structure. They literally disintegrate when rear-ended.
