Quest for the Least Reliable Vehicle for MontuckyFried

[MontuckyFried]

Guys, guys, guys. First things first.

Before he buys any of those junkers you are posting, he needs this:

Hmm... Good point. But then will I need to buy a wrecker FOR the wrecker?

VW Phaeton or RollsRoyce Silver Spirit should make the list. Bugatti is probably out of the price range but truly atrocious repair bills

$112k (list) to $3k in 16 years is impressive

I’ve got a younger newer neighbor who just bought 5x the house he needs, tech guy, and on day 1 he moved his cherry looking Phaeton W12 into the third garage. I commented on it and he said it’s like it rolled out of the factory. Except it hasn’t run for years due to some electrical gremlins.

it’s not European but how about a Fiero

All the good ones burnt up.

I have an '04 Audi allroad that I would consider parting with. As the owner of the great shop I took it to for years said to me one time when I was bitching about all the shit that was going wrong, "Well what did you expect when you bought the most complicated car ever built?"

Looks mint and runs perfect right now, though.

Chicken Dinner! I would rally the fuck out of that (slowly).

MA repairable title due to ‘’light fresh water’’ doesn’t sound too problematic

The obvious answer here is something with an Italian pedigree, preferably a Maserati Biturbo.

Ha! I only read the op, immediately thought the same, and started googling...

the Q3 is good, but the much rarer Q2 French-Italian love child is the real disaster. Are Citroens too old to consider? A Citroen Sm? Hydro suspension, headlights that turn with the wheels, all the benefits of French engineering when lunch involved 2 bottles of wine per person and a stray Gaullois ash could ruin the drawing but no one would give a fuck?

Look, I'll grant the wisdom of sending our boy Austin down the path to enlightenment through self-denial and a level of forced humility that can only be achieved by owning a French car. But a Citroen? That's the kind of half measure that brings perfectly viable acolytes to ruin.

Montucky is clearly interested in being stranded in the middle of nowhere by something cheap and weird that he can break his knuckles on while hiding from his family. Spending a little hard-earned money on tools and parts and earning the respect of his selected peers for what some may see as foolhardy or outright quixotic. He wants to lay in a pool of oil and coolant, with an aptly-named trouble light at his side while he curses long-dead engineers whose numerous mistakes were committed a third of a world away.

For this experience there is but one place to go. Where the cars are so unwanted that the ads predate the recent surge in used car prices. Where the idea of taking money for the car at all carries a certain guilt. And the larger guilt of initiating a new member into the club (even informally) precludes any guile and sets Montucky up for honest, if totally horrific, transactions. I speak, of course, of the Renault Club of North America:

Apologies in advance. Godspeed.

I think I'm going to have a really nice supercharged Range Rover for sale in a week or so. I know Austin would love it...
