Cockroach cars

second gen TCs are actually good unlike the first gens.

Pal had an 87 accord, 300k, orig clutch, loudaf due to $20 glasspack because f paying $100 for a muffler, ratchet strap holding the valve cover on (when the leaks get bad just tighten a click)
The golden beater, probably still runs.

Wait, they don't anymore? How are you supposta do the rapid pickup/dropoff? Those were wonderful memories of the one guy who had a liscense and car back then playing taxi for drugs and in such demand that if you werent outside ready to leap in when he slowed down he floors it and your walkin

its funny because cars like this are only like this because of the massive tolerances inside the moving parts as far as i can tell.

the company didnt put effort into making the thing efficient at all or using precision and science to design the engine or tranny so they just fill it up with thicker oil to fill the gaps and off it goes.

either this or just a stubbornness to accept modern technology and just build their cars like soviet tanks ie old volvos

and normally this seems to be a completely unintentional side effect that they dont capitalize on in advertising.

My 08 Hyundai Sonata is supposed to be a shitty car and has almost no value now, but it's still running fine at 100k

I've got an 02 Saturn, I treat it like a rally car and it won't die.

>Crown Vics, base model Civics with 4 speed trannies. Horrible or at best mediocre rides that get overlooked by most.
neither of those are overlooked. old civics are generally regarded as "the" used car, and old 90's civis are ridiculously common specifically because of their reputation as reliable shitboxes.

and Crown vics are meme machines for a similar reason. And they are CERTAINLY not overlooked in any capacity. they were ubiquitous for almost 2 decades, during which they were THE fleet vehicle. And still stubbornly are in many places.

not to mention I wouldnt say a crown vic is a mediocre ride. it's honestly about average for a 70's car

hear they are bad on gas?

These cavemen try very hard to kill this one

Speaking of GM shitboxes add the Grand Am to that list
