toss up between ford taurus (mall cops), saturn s-series (incels), and geo metro (loose bucket of bolts that somehow magically still got you were you needed to go as long as you never need to travel faster than 50mph.)
saturn s-series (incels)
it's so very telling that i thought "what the hell are you talking about" when i read this and then I saw the car and i went "...yeah that's so accurate"
googled this and wow a ford taurus really is a mall cop car god
oldsmobile diesel cars, 100%
they're not from the 90s but i mean this in the sense that someone's driving a beaten up one that's 15 years old all the way into the 90s. to make it even more shitty
lmfaooooo my dad had a fucking oldsmobile station wagon when i was like 5 so. I UNDERSTAND.
i actually don't know shit about cars and even less so about american cars but i do know the oldsmobile diesels are infamous shitboxes
Victoria has experiences with them! https://cohost.org/victoria-scott/post/1561723-i-have-been-mighty-b
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hell yeah!!!!! gotta look at this later
it's funny because I went in sorta expecting that victoria and the twitter mutual from who I know about oldsmobiles knew each other and. they do. in fact the oldsmobile featured in the articles IS his oldsmobile diesel :')
I would guess in the year 2023 the Oldsmobile Diesel community is a fairly small one!
for the euro version of this i would like to contribute the 1999 ford focus
i had one (nearly 20 years old when i got it) and despite the high shitbox rating it chugged through everything i threw at it.
this includes:
- multiple dashboard fires (you ever just jumpstart and connect the cables wrong? yeah)
- leaking head gasket
- running without any oil for a while
- vacuum hoses just popping off sometimes
- a water leak in the dashboard that made my CDs come out the player soaking wet (they played normally though)
- water in the gas tank (after which the valves got fucked up but it still ran)
- serpentine belt was doing multiple 90° sideways turns along the track & grinding itself into a powder on a protruding bolt (still survived for 4 years somehow)
- shifting into reverse while doing 60mph (i'm used to having 6 gears, this one had a reverse in that position)
- handbrake cable freezing & destroying the brake pads like twice or something
and i dunno, i'm pretty sure the entire rear seat thing was just never attached to anything which kinda flopped around when braking hard
(not my car but it does capture the shitbox energy very well)
