Speaking of spontaneous combustion, we tried to trade in our 1998 Audi A4 Quattro (the one I hated) for a 2005 model. The dealer delivered the 2005 Audi from 90 miles away, and 10 minutes after he dropped it off, the motor (turned off) burst into flames while sitting parked in front of our house. We got the 1998 back (quickly), and eventually traded it in for a 2005 BMW 325 XI, which we like a lot.

Best car I ever owned: 1976 911S Targa. It was the first car I bought with my own money and changed my life. It was a great autocrosser and a pretty good daily driver. I stupidly sold it and I regret it.

Worst car: 1976 Mercedes w123 diesel. Seemed like a good idea, everything I read told me that it was the most reliable car ever... not the one I got. It broke all the time and left me stranded. I hated that car.

Best - 1996 Chevy Impala SS, the first car I ordered new, the last of the full frame rear wheel drive yachts. I put 200k trouble free miles on it, friend bought it put another 200k on it before it finally fell apart.

Worst - 1974 Ford Maverick, total POS, was my first car and loved it due to that fact alone.....freedom.
