Radiator leak at 6 months.
Battery died at 11 months.
When it developed growly rear wheel axle bearings at 1 year we traded it
in on a new Toyota Celica. Took a beating on price but so glad to be rid of it!
No wonder AMC went belly up!!

They didn't. They just morphed into Fiat-Chrysler...lol
I think most every car and truck built to day is ugly. Some much uglier than others. Did I say expensive too?

I was my experience that with some aggressive snow tires on the back, an old beat up Gremlin was VERY fun off-road!

Whoa easy there. I'd take that fastback off your hands any day, any condition if you still had it. I don't know how that even qualifies.

LOL, you either love them or hate them. It's long gone but that $600 beater kept my dates dry in the rainy season. (Road motorcycles most of my life.)

In fairness for others, here's a picture. Look familiar?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. Snow scoops...that's what I call them. What are they thinking with those things??

That's because Pontiac fired the engineers that designed it. Chevy hired them and voila! The Avalanche. I can't believe they still make them.

This one's a little hard to see, but here's a early 60's Renault Dauphine. We had it running, but couldn't ever get the transmission working in it. It would crawl along at a whopping 15 miles an hour or so. Wait...maybe that was its top speed!
Ooops. Wrong one. The Buick was actually kinda nice. Here's the Dauphine.

That picture is from today. We had a little rain. The leaves are just falling off my fruit trees and my navel oranges are almost ready to pick

[QUOTE=Restcure;1381440]My wife's sister and her husband owned a Pontiak Aztek once. The only benefit I could see was that while you were driving you couldn't see the exterior.
 
Yup the Aztek has to be the ugliest vehicle ever made!!!

That THING is a thing of beauty.
My ugly car was probably the M151 I had but it sure was fun to play around in.
