Easy.  Worst car ever was a 1959 TR3A I found in a shed in Ossinee, NY.  It was covered with a 30 year, five inch encrustation of dried, powdery racoon dung.  (How's that for powder-coated?)  Floors had rusted out and the wheels were froze.  Least reliable car I ever owned.  My then 14 year old daughter looked at it on the trailer when I brought it home and asked,  "What's THAT thing doing in the yard?"

Best car ever is a 1959 TR3A, found in a shed in Ossinee, NY.  Rebuilt from the ground up over 3.5 years.  New floors.  Even scrubbed off and painted over the racoon manure, but that's just me.  Fast, dependable, and fun.  

My daughter?  Now her friends from school think I'm cool.  Little do they know, it ain't so.  And her first car became a Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible.  Fast, somewhat dependable, and fun.
