Most American cars introduced in the '70s qualify; hideous aestetics, horrifically underengineered and the build quality tended to be such that a bunch of random primitives from the Khyber Pass could hastily reverse engineer one and end up with a better made product.

I've never understood that one either- the stock paint on the kinds of cars that folks do that to is already incredibly expensive. _________________________ " And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"- John F.

Jaz Member Registered: 01/05/07 Posts: 651 Loc: Dordrecht, the Netherlands	I recently read an article about someone who found a Ferrari 212 in a barn. There were two atrocities in that story, first, forgetting you have such a beautiful car and letting it collect dust in some barn. Secondly and far worse, the Ferrari V12 engine had been removed and replaced with a Corvette engine. That's just sacrilege!
