My worst car was one that my ex wife and I purchased when my son was born. She wanted this thing. It eventually came to be known as "The Poopy Van". It was a '93 Dodge Caravan. We bought it in '96. Here is a short list of the problems that we encountered:
- A propensity to randomly shut off at the worst possible times.
- A radio that sometimes would come on. Sometimes not.
- Rear window wiper that never worked.
- A key that broke off in the ignition... thereby allowing keyless starting.
- Another key that broke off in the passenger side door... thereby allowing keyless entry.
- A power window that rolled down just fine during the ONE snowstorm that year... but then refused to roll back up.
- A sudden and amazing radiator leak which caused...
- A sudden and amazing oil leak which caused...
- A tow truck to come take it away for good.
Yes, we speak fondly of The Poopy Van to this day.
