I have to say, that's quite a remarkable coincidence.

1985 Mercedes 450SEL

Was a war pig, thats for sure.

Was also my favorite vehicle ive owned.

The slowest car I ever owned was a 1991 Mazda Protege. Good little car, but the thing was slower than Corky Thatcher.

2005 Toyota Corolla
1993 Honda Civic CX w/ the old D15

[Modelexis]

Early 90`s Pontiac Bonneville auto.

Paid 1000$ and it had 2 missing windows.
Tranny slipped out of gear if you pressed the gas more than 30%.

You could rev out first and second would slip a bit and third was almost non-existent.

Scared me a few times going up hills and it would be slipping and I would have to feather the gas to keep the power from slipping out the tranny.

I bet it would take 30 seconds or more to do the quarter mile.

I overheated it so bad one time I had oil boiling on top of the valve cover.

Early 90's Geo Metro
1.0L 3 cyl that cranked out a whopping 55hp.
I think max speed in that was just under 120. I remember one time coming home from Southcentre to the north, I had my foot on the floor the entire way and I barely hit 120.

[Bassemz]

1998 SEAT Ibiza 1.0 L 50 hp 5 sp manual. Spent most of its time at the rev limiter.

[Tik-Tok]

1984 Honda Accord with automatic :facepalm:

I had a 82 Accord with less HP, but manual, and it was WAY quicker than that POS.

[94boosted]

My 98 Civic Si even with it's intake and exhaust (which probably added 0.2 horsepower) it was deathly slow :thumbsdow

[spikerS]

1986 Hyundai pony.

It was a Lemon of a car though. It was one that actually worked, and would not die. I had a rule, if it broke down, I would spend $20 to fix it, if it cost more, it was going to PnP. I was always able to fix it.

One time, I remember the fan belt breaking on the way up the Cochrane hill on my way to work at the airport. I was so happy! I was sure this would finally kill the car. Nope, It got me all the way to work in rush hour traffic and didn't overheat at all. Sure enough, a new fan belt was $6.99 and it was good to go again. I finally called it quits and donated it.

I can't remember the year, but I think it was a 82 accord. I learnt manual with it and it was a tank with almost 400k on it until some punk decided to run into me writing it off.

[..*JDM Hatch*..]
