Competition... who has the crappiest daily driver??

[flatlander757]

Here's mine, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it much longer, but then again I could save money holding onto it while I'm doing a V8 swap into an RX7. I could also buy a chassis sooner so I can hopefully get started.

The mirrors used to fold down when I went over 40mph, so I drilled some screws in there to hold them in place. Also the ENTIRE underside of it is coated in a 1/4" thick layer of oil. It is leaking oil, antifreeze, tranny fluid, and power steering fluid.

It is also burning antifreeze as well.

There used to be refrigerant in there, but one of the lines ruptured and I can't afford to fix it, let alone fill it with R-12.

:funny:

Also I was the one that painted the back half of the truck. I used some Rustoleum that is meant for patio furniture. The end result makes it feel like sandpaper. The bed is still primer because I'm lazy.

Alright, now you guys can try to make me feel better by topping that ;)

My 1985 Celica (http://www.torquecentral.com/showthread.php?t=36395)

[DailyDSM]

Not crappy but a headache: '92 Galant VR-4

[Skele4door]

91 GVR4 for me. I don't have any current pics, but except for more door dings and some 17" Enkei's it looks the same.

I have a Bonneville but I don't drive it. In the process of being sold. This one gets daily driver duty when I'm not using my truck for work.

I was JUST working on my daily driver a few minutes ago.

1990 Eclipse GSX - Tan EXTERIOR and brown interior. Factory paint.

2nd gear syncro is shot and AC system is low on refrigerant, so it doesn't work very well when it's 97 degrees outside like it was today. :mad:

All shock are totally blown. It clunks, creaks, bottoms out...etc.

Two wheels have SERIOUS dents that make the damn thing vibrate like sex toy on the interstate.

The picture was taken soon after I bought the car. Now, it has a MASSIVE dent on the driver side rear quarter panel from a speeding shopping cart during a catagory 1 hurricane level windstorm. :mad:

All in all, I love the car. Every time I think about selling it, we get a good ice storm, and I remember what I love about that car sooo much. AWD in ice is AWESOME!

:eek: :eek: :eek:

But it's a 401 ci V8 so I'm halfway through rebuilding it and putting it back in. :halo:

[AndreS]

1991 geo prizm (same body as that year of toyota corolla) 220k miles... now a daily driver & i put ~25k/year on it. the exhaust is shot and loud, cracked manifold, rotted out pipe etc.... i just keep doing basic maintenance and it just won't die. it's been in at least four small accidents, has dents & dings thoughout, a cracked windshield, suspension is really loose, and the interior smells of musty old pizza & moldy from the leaks. I bought the thing for $50 it needed a transmission & halfshafts, had a bent hood and trunk lid(replaced), and tires, i've put 2 timing belts on it and burned through a few tires and sets of brake pads.
I refuse to wash it, i think the dirt & grime is all that's keeping it alive...
i'm at about 90k since i bought it at 132k.... the plan is to run it to 250k and try to get $500 for it... one thing is sure... I've driven every penny I put in out of it

do i win?

[drivinggodspeed]

lately i've been driving my 81 toyota diesel pickup.. it's in great shape except for the front bumper.(my dad had a wreck in it and i had to fix it for him) only has 75,000 on it though so it should be good for about 450,000 more or so.. we'll see.

yeah....that bearing seems to be oriented a bit wrong :D

[derf]

Oh, it's oriented just fine. It's an AMC 401 after all. It's just that when we pulled the cam, a good size chunk of one layer came out with the cam. All of the cam bearings were that shot, leaving this in the oil pan: :eek:

You can see most of what I've done so far to get it back in the Cherokee here:

I got Shoes For Crews because they're non-slip soles :D

[gnx7]

I used to drive a '88 MX-6 GT (turbo 2.2i/5speed) that was kind of a beater. It had a huge manifold/head leak due to stripped threads which was rather loud and wouldn't spool the turbo anymore. I put 35K miles on it and only lost $400 when I sold it.

[Incognito]

I'm going to win this hands down!!!! This was my daily driver, and it was a huge POS, but just wouldn't die. Finally got rid of it last winter. This truck is a testiment to how tough old toyota trucks are, I did everything I could to break it... just kept running!!!

That toyota L series deisel engine is unstopable!!!! Theres a video out there of a TV show abusing one. They run the truck into a tree, put the truck under ocean water by parking it on the beach at low tide and dropped it off of a craine and it still ran!!!! Rediculous, you can find the video online.

i saw that. it made me proud to have one...and mine was pristine until that lady pulled out in front of my dad. it wasn't hurt too bad though, but the insurence co. tried to total it out and give us $800. we laughed at them and said that that wasn't going to work...:)

i need to take some pics of it..

[mattster03]
