[Rense, Mark (GE Indust, ConsInd)]

Happy New Year!

And now for something completely different....

Not particularly Tiger-related, but an interesting diversion from the
winter blahs:

I got a kick out of reading (and cursing) this 50 Worst Cars of All Time
list. As you may suspect, there are several British cars mentioned;
nothing, however, from the Rootes stables.

So, what determines "WORST" for you? Criteria can be quality,
performance, styling, and/or a combination. It is said that one man's
flaw is another man's idea of character. If that were not true, we'd all
be driving Corollas, I guess.

Still bored? How about a poll? This is an international list, should be
some interesting perspectives.

Which car(s) would you put on this, the 50 Worst Cars of All Time?

(VW 411, Porsche 924, Mustang II, GM Diesel cars like the Olds Calais
LT6 V-6, and Chevy Vega come to mind, and don't get me started on
British Leyland, or we'll never get out of here!)

                And

What is the worst car you PERSONALLY have owned?

 (Hard choice for anyone enduring the products of Great Britain. Mine
(quality-wise and expectation-wise, at least) was a '93 Ford SHO Taurus,
great high-revving Yamaha engine, everything else attached to it was
junk. Towed in six times in the 10 months of ownership, the car was
re-purchased back from me under the state Lemon Law. Great idea, high
expectations, very flawed execution. Second place was close: a '77 BMW
320i, never buy a first-year car. Very happy it was stolen, repair bills
out-paced car value, made me pine for my 2002.)
