My first car was a 1962 Chevy Biscayne 2 door with a 6 cylinder and 2 speed powerglide transmission that I was handed down in 1971. It was the biggest POS I ever owned. It only had 42,000 miles on it when I got it and was constantly in need of things like brakes, suspension components, electical system components and other issues. The engine blew at about 80,000 miles. I still have nightmares about that car.
The second worse was my second car, a 1974 Fiat 128 that I bought used in 1976. By 20,000 miles first gear syncro was gone, when it rained water would pool in the passenger footwell, when I went to the coin operated car wash the pressure from the nozzle would blow flakes of paint off of it and one day the sending unit on the block for the oil pressure sensor just blew right out of its threaded hole.
I swore I would never buy another used car. But the1982 Camaro that I bought new was the worst new car I ever bought and swore me off GM products for the rest of my life.
