          70's and early 80's emissions system , 6.6l and only 200hp

          GM LG4 5.0L engine, more like a pick up truck engine than a sports car engine.

          Pontiac Fiero.

          The last model Ford Thunderbird.

          80's Cadillac diesel engine, and early displacement on demand.
          1993 TA SOLD

            1. Performance parts for econo cars...seems like an oxymoron to me (wings and f@rt pipes are now common).
            2. Front wheel drive...I guess some people need it, but I prefer to have control over the whole car.
            3. Pre-computer and fuel injected emission controls...caused more pollution from poor running vehicles in the 70s and early 80s.
            4. Aztek...why would any sane person design that horrid POS.
            5. Modern SUVs...for those that need a true utility vehicle this doesn't apply, but why in the heck do suburbanites need these huge gasaholics?
            6. Bean counters and marketing execs...the end of enthusiast's cars. ...at least the ones we can afford.

                  Gotta go with the neons on this one. Somehow they make even the hottest cars look like S%$#. And pretty much EVERYTHING they do on pimp my ride. Anybody seen the one where they put a 12" monitor under the gas tank?? Like somebody is gonna get on a creeper and lay under their car to watch tv!? Oh and spinners.....don't get me started. Can't believe some people spend more money on those things than they paid for the whole car.

                      Hmm....I dont think anybody has mentioned this one yet. But I'd have to say the 5 billion stickers all over the ricers. And expessialy the american racing stickers that are on some of the worst rusted cars in the universe.

                        Honda Element, Scion xB, Toyota Prius, and Honda Insight's body designs. Those are all awful looking.
                        GM's 80's V8-6-4 Engine (maybe not the worst IDEA per say, but definately one of the worst investments of there money)
                        Large Aluminum Wings (especially with two or three decks)
                        Spoilers on Trucks
                        Spinners (I know that's been mentioned)
                        Hydraulics
                        GM's 173 ci v6 that only puts out 107 hp. What a waste.
                        5.0 Mustangs
                        Anyone who tries to pimp out a hatchback Civic or Focus.
                        DVD players in the front dash. That's a wreck to happen.
                        rims over 17"
                        Ground effects on a truck
                        ...anything else?
                        1983 Firebird with all original parts (with a fresh coat of paint on top)

                          Why does everyone hate 5.0 Mustangs? They can be pretty quick. Sure they're only good at going in straight lines, but even then they're one of the few Fords that are able to do that much without breaking down.

                          -Having a 305 paired to an automatic transmission as the only option for mid 80's Monte Carlo SS's
                          -No manual tranny for 350ci third gens
                          -The cup holder location for 4th gens with manual trannies
                          -2nd gen Camaros (Sorry for 2nd gen fans, but I can't imagine driving a 3,800lb trident)
                          Red 95 Trans Am: M6, Moroso CAI, Magnaflow, Spohn sway bars, back to life as of 2/15/10!!!
                          SOLD- Kinda miss it
                          94 Del Sol VTEC: 27 city/ 33 highway, knee deep in slowness
                          SOLD- Good riddance!
                          2006 Ford Fusion: 2.3, 5 speed, could run 15lbs of boost with a 150 shot and it'd still be slow

                            haha, glad to see I'm not the only one who's nailed my tim hortons with my forearm and spilled it. It's not so bad, at least it has one though.

                            The Chrysler Conquest/Mitsu Starions have NO CUPHOLDER. What were they thinking? Oh and more majorly. Why would they put a 2 injector TBI on a turbo vehicle??
