Crappiest vehicle for me was a $300 1992 green ford Taurus SHO 5MTX. I had it in the winter, the PO had studded tires In the front but not the back so randomly the ass end would come around in a turn. It got plowed and jumped into a few snow berms. The shifter linkage somehow got pulled out of the transmission one day and the only gears I could hit were 1st and 5th, made for an interesting drive home.
