My worst car was a 1970 VW Beetle. A nightmare, a total lemon. I got rid of it after 3 years and saw it on fire on highway shortly after I got rid of it. I actually periodically have a bad dream where I driving it!

It was never repaired completely and I finally gave up and traded for the Ranger. In full disclosure, I did drive it from CA to NY with only two minor repairs along the way.

Worst thing was hitting a cow in rural Utah in my 2001 F-150 pickup. The cow was on one side of the road and decided she needed to join some on the other side. I was towing my travel trailer so could not slam on the brakes, but did the best i could. The hood crumpled up but the radiator was not damaged and I was able to drive home to Fresno CA, and got the truck repaired. My young grandson was with me, and also was with me when the same truck got hit in a 3-vehicle collision in town. The guy who caused it got the worst of it; the other two were able to drive away but the police would not let him drive it. Everyone showed their insurance cards, but it turned out the the guilty party's insurance was not paid up. Again, repair worked out OK.
