No win for me. 07 Grand Prix GT, 42,000 miles. With gas back down to reasonable levels, at least I can put premium gas in it again

No win for me either....Just a warning for you Mopar fans. 2008 Dodge Charger R/T 9000 miles. Hands down the worst car I have ever owned. In the shop for vibrations at least 8 times, brakes 4 times, power windows 2 times, radio 2 times, transmission, console molding, and numerous other things. I have a 1996 Taurus w/120,000 miles that runs better than this car. Sorry for the rant.

A car I truly hated the entire year we owned it, but gosh darn it the thing is still running.
1991 Volvo 740 with the fuel injected 4 cylinder. We bought it used in 2004, and I fixed it up and restored that sorry old beast, even gave it a new paint job.
Traded it in late 2005 with 150,000 miles on it, and I still see that green hunk driving on Clayton Road every few days.

You got me
2000 Silverado with 154,000. It doesn't even hold a candle to my '74 442 Olds. rebuilt the engine at 120K ran it to 240K and sold it. Dad saw it three years later going like a bat out of hell down the highway. Loved that car.

If we are doing old cars I have two that take the cake
1) 84 Audi 5000-speedo broke at 209k drove it for another year
2) 76 Caddy Seville, there was a short in the passenger door. Everytime the power window was used they got shocked
