Slowest car you ever had......
Mine was this 1963 Beetle.....but was fun and a pisser to drive. But to get up "the hill" on 287 if I didn't get a good running start it would almost not make it to the top

My wife had a 1972 Pinto when we married her. I wanted it gone ASAP. We got her a new Cutlass shortly after we married, dealer offered us $50 on trade. We ended up keeping it and driving it to work at the airport rather than subject the Corvette to daily doses of Jet A mist in the air. Ended up dumping it a year later for a Toyota SR5 pickup. Got $100 on trade, made money!

1969 Ford Torino… had the 3.3 liter 6 banger with the 3 speed automatic. Got it shortly after graduating from high school Thing could barely get out of its own way but at the time the price was right and I need transportation

Uh-uh.
'75 Ford Courier. Built by Mazda, 4 cyl, 4 spd. I put a Winnebago camper on the back of it back in the 70s during the fuel shortage days. Had a hard time doing the speed limit (55mph) on the Interstate from NY to WI Gas was mashed to the floorboard for 800 miles. |

Can't decide whether it was the Plymouth Cricket or the 197? Corolla.
Followed closely by the 4 cylinder 1994 Ford Ranger. |

Never owned a slow car but I borrowed one a few times. Sister-in-law had a late 70's model Ford LTD land yacht with a 302 V8. Saddest excuse for a motor vehicle I've ever driven. Thing required a good quarter mile to get up to highway speed. Got curious so I looked it up on the wiki and found this -

65 Beetle, it looked great,clean interior, great paint and extra nice chrome. The motor was beyond tired. It was a slight uphill to high school and I would have at least 15 cars behind me by the time I got there.
A guy offered me $400 for it ( 1977 ) and it was gone |

Rental Smart Car in SLC when there were absolutely no cars available. That POS was dangerous. And, slower than my 1965 VW Type 3.
