Mid 80's Bronco. My ex insisted that she had to have a bronco. It had a 302 in it, but holy hell. I am sure it was the fact that they were still trying out emissions schemes but I bet it had less than a hundred hp. It would barely move out of it's own way, and if you got about 6mpg you considered yourself lucky. Toss in an oil leak and it was like driving the Exxon Valdez. I can't decide if the best day of my life was getting rid of the bronco, or her....

I'm pretty sure you could buy one of those with a straight six, I bet they're even more of a dog!

I had an '86 with a straight six that was phenomenal.12 mpg and would go anywhere. It's the only car I hate I sold.
