Time magazine's 50 worst cars

I dont care who you are or what you thought you knew, this is some hilarious shit. I think the writer had his slant on.

"This is the car that gave Communism a bad name. Powered by a two-stroke pollution generator that maxed out at an ear-splitting 18 hp, the Trabant was a hollow lie of a car constructed of recycled worthlessness (actually, the body was made of a fiberglass-like Duroplast, reinforced with recycled fibers like cotton and wood)."

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

The best part of this article is, by far, the insane early car designs. Who can't love the car with a fake hoss head on the front, to avoid spooking hosss? Or the OctoAuto? Priceless.

The first one is priceless. The hoss head car. Heh.

There are some cars in there that I've never heard of. I emailed a copy of that article to my gearhead friend, Luke. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it.

And yes, A-CAP, the author of that article was certainly feelin' no pain as he wrote it. Heh.

Um, I kind of love the designs of a lot of these cars. So cool looking!

horrible ideas, though.
