Worst Cars Of All Time Rated

Posted by simoniker on from the vroom-vroom-sputter dept.

prostoalex writes "Forbes magazine complains that people nowadays do not have a real understanding of how awful a car can truly be. Hence they compiled a list of the worst cars available in the US, or 'lemons' created after World War 2. In the former Eastern Bloc, there are plenty of other choices, including this Ukrainian jewel, as well as many Soviet cars did not make it to the Forbes article."

  5. Pointless articles? by ektor · · Score: 1, Offtopic


    This article attests to the (lack of) quality of publications like Forbes, Money, Fortune, etc. Sensationalist articles that are both poorly written and researched.

    For more good writing that is often amazingly entertaining articles I suggest The Economist.

    Right. Only WMA now. And it doesn't work, due to either mplayer not liking the codec OR the fact that I'm behind a firewall. All I know is that it doesn't work at school, so I can't hear it. Damn damn damn... I have to get up at 9AM on Saturday now!?

    BTW, why couldn't they use ogg. The ditched real and switched to WMA, so I wonder why they can't ditch WMA and use ogg. ogg works on every platform known to man :)

    I was unlucky enough to be handed down a Chevy Citation from my parents. I usually called it the Tank.
