I had a couple that were scary for different reasons, the first was a 1967 Cougar with a 351 Cleveland motor. It had a triple deuce carb set up on a tunnel ram intake, cam and other goodies inside. at 165 miles an hour it started to shake. The other one was an old Fiat. It couldn't go over 60, and it only ran half the time I owned it. I was coming home from college one day, and it died on th side of the road. I had the title in the glove box, signed it, laid it on the front seat, left the key in the ignition. called a junkyard and told them it was theirs. I never saw it again, and was glad not to.

I 'borrowed' my brothers' ford fairlane when I was 14...
thought I was pretty hot stuff shooting down the highway with the windows down and my friends and I passing 'round the joints....
One of the wheels rolled passed us doing 100 k's...
Seemed he had it in the garage for a reason.
My parents are still not talking to me...lol!

The scariest without a doubt was my 1976 AMC Gremlin. I lived up to its name. It was a job keeping that thing going in a straight line and it always died at the most inconvenient places. It was also ugly as sin.

as far as speed is concerned, I drove a Pantera in 1970, down the turnpike in New jersey
as far as an unsafe vehicle...my ex-wife's van. No reverse, leaky radiator, bad brakes and starter.

ooby_dooby: Well, when I was young & stupid, I bought this old 1958 Mercury Park Lane 4 door power everything because it came with a 430 CI V8 that I wanted to use in a Can Am car I dreamed about building. The car had a leak at the RF brake so I stuck a ball bearing in the brake line to block it off. Not wanting to spend money on brake fluid, I filled the master cyl with Mazzola oil and off we went to my friends farm in Oneonta NY. On the way up the NY Thruway, it kept over heating so we removed the hood and left it by the toll booth. We got to a spot where we could save about 12 miles by going over this gravel mtn road instead of around it sooooo. I had been following my friend in his 1955 Mercury Sun Valley (very rare car with a plexiglass roof). We got to the top of the mtn and he pulled over and motioned me to go first. The look on his face was one of "it's been nice knowing you and don't worry, I'll comfort your girlfriend after the funeral."
Well, I started down the hill and everything went well for about 100' til I decided to burn off a little speed with the brakes. Brakes? What brakes? We don got no stinkin brakes! At this point I'm thinking this pig has an awful lot of stored up energy and I have to find something to share it with. I decided to do some landscaping and took to the woods first on one side of the road then the other. I mowed down bush's and saplings from the top of that mtn to the bottom.

prncss4someone: um...my van...it's an 89, driver's side door doesn't shut, driver's side seatbelt doesn't work...I drive it
very carefully...at one point, I parked it, and the front tires went pigeon toed! I couldn't help staring
at it I've never seen pigeon toed tires before! It also is the most fun vehicle I've ever driven---
very challenging, to say the least...

The midgets I drove for about 30 years. They put me on my head a few times and I found out they do not fly very well..
But they sure do go end over end..
