The worst car

[DJSapp]

Nothing in the combination of beige and brown that I had exudes "elegance"

[MagnificentUnicorn]

That is exactly what you did...

Don't deflect you poncy tosser.

Let's not forget the Audi Sport Quattro
Years produced: 1983–1984
A friend of mine had one and said it was a money pit. Mind you he loved the car but sold it a year later.

Ah the memories.

That's the car my dad had when he left my mom. One of my first memories I have is him dropping me off back at my moms house after my weekend with him, then hearing that thing shift and tear ass up the street.

[iceman]

What?

[Mazderati]

That thing is a real dog.

[iceman]

It's the wurst.

[Mazderati]

That's being frank.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

I think it's a wiener.

We had almost this exact sweet ride, mama hit a deer with it (deep south). It mighta been 3 minutes or so before a man stopped in a truck askin if we were gonna keep the deer and if we weren't couldn't he have it. to my 8 yr old memory just deer gore everywhere.

I'm told the interior looked nice sometime in the early 80's. The central CA sun cracked the plastic dashboard into 1000 pieces and the upholstery and headliner crumbled to dust.

You know you're driving a POS if there's a stick holding up the headliner.

[Skistack]

LoL we had a Chevette and we always told people we own a Vette.
I must say for a POS car it ran ok and did the job but man was it build cheap.

The Chevette was the official car of rural white trash when I was growing up. There was must have been a rule if you lived in a trailer you were required to have either a Chevette in running order, or a Camaro up on blocks.

Girlfriend in college had one. I thought it was awesome, until I drove it; the shifter had a weird "click" when it got in gear, like indexed shifting on road bikes in the early 80's. Very annoying.

Then I rebuilt one of these, and learned how shitty a car could get:

[Aldo]

That ltd right there, talk about a sled. Had a similar galaxie 500 it took a licking and kept on ticking until one fateful night, long story.
I'll just leave this here...

Unfortunately that was from the front page of local paper a while back... Sold in lieu of towing charge shortly thereafter. Great car though. Loved the dual deep dish ashtrays across the front.

Nice racing stripe.

Did I ever tell you about wrecking my 1971 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon on Long Island?

[abraham]

Was that when you caused a power outage?

[Aldo]

Lessons learned - heinekens n Aguardiente session then rolling by buddies painting some stucco- bang - race car

Distracted by too tight jeans?

Indeed.

The introduction of Group B into the World Rally Championship in 1982 resulted from an evolution that was dictated by a general industry move from rear to front-wheel-drive cars, and it proved revolutionary, with seven victories. Contenders now had three classes from which to choose, Group N (standard production cars), Group A (modified production cars), and the almost immediately notorious and virtually unbridled Group B (modified sports cars).

Most notably, Group B allowed Audi to compete with its still-new Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which was an obvious boon on varied rally stage surfaces. The permanent all-wheel-drive system debuted in the Audi 80-based Quattro Coupe in 1980, and it quickly came to define the brand. Furthermore, FIA Group B homologation rules meant that only 200 road going examples of each car were necessary for sale to the public. These light regulations made for intensely competitive racing, since automakers were no longer required to build racing cars based on mass production models but vice-versa.

Audi campaigned what was essentially a Group 4 Quattro for the first couple of years, before engineers in Ingostadt, Germany, unleashed a wildly different model, which is now christened Sport Quattro. Although the Ur-Quattro (“original Quattro” to German enthusiasts) was a dominant force due to its permanent all-wheel-drive system, its heavy monocoque chassis, long wheelbase, and balance issues caused by its longitudinally mounted engine proved to be hindrances against such purpose-built racers as the Lancia 037.

Audi’s engineers were tasked with developing a new model that would address these concerns, and this was something they did in secret, far from the company’s road car operations. With its wheelbase shortened a meaningful 12.6 inches between the B- and C-pillars, the Sport Quattro was not only significantly shorter than the standard Quattro found in showrooms, but it’s steel monocoque shell, which was built off site by Baur, also featured numerous GRP and carbon-Kevlar panels to further trim weight. As such, there was very little shared with serial production Audis (although a more upright windshield that had been cribbed from the workaday Audi 80 alleviated early visibility concerns).
....

Audi built a mere 214 Sport Quattros,

Unless your Dad was Walter Röhrl or Hannu Mikkola it's very unlikely.

[iceman]

Well there's 212 other ones.

Say 210 if you give them both a spare.

Luck for us the Camaro was is good shape.

I had a girlfriend who had an Olds Cutlass Ciera Brougham. A red velour couch on wheels.

I called it the Broom. She didn't like that....

My stepdad had a 1980 Olds Delta 88. It was some kind of horrid beige color, like a watery butterscotch pudding, and the interior was 'camel' or some such shit. He bought it new on custom order, he was kind of an old school guy. It was hideous but really plush riding down the road.

Only 10 were sold in the U.S.

We have what is it now?

3 posters claiming them.
