I tried to think of any dogs I have bought over the years, and really can't remember any that ended up burning me. The worst car I ever owned though was a brand new 85 Cougar. Right from the start stuff was breaking on it. On the way home from the dealer the turn signal lever snapped off in my hand, the wiper blade flew off at the first rain storm, the arm rest broke, etc. People also kept running into it, even though it was bright red. A kid on a motorcycle plowed into the side at a grocery store, and an old lady backed right into it at a party.

Finally, at 20,000 miles the engine (3.8 crap motor ) ate itself up. The last straw was when the vibration dampening weight on the bottom of the transmission broke off going down the highway and stabbed a hole in the bottom of the gas tank. If there was ever a Christine, that car was it, except it never healed itself.
