Cars you'd prefer never to drive...

[the Teuton]

Badass, yes.  I still wouldn't be caught dead driving one.

[Tave]

While there are many cars I would never buy, I would drive anything and everything under the sun. Fuck it. A car is not only a toy, it's also a convenience item. I'm not too proud or spoiled to refuse a car.

[the Teuton]

Do you want to drive that pink Beetle cabrio then?

[Tave]

I'm not looking at it and thinking, "boy I hope I own one of those someday," but I wouldn't refuse to climb in it and drive if that's what needed to be done.

Is the pink paint going to hurt me or something?

Fuck it man, I'd drive around on a pink moped with handle bar streamers if that was my option.

[Tave]

Any car is cooler than no car at all, at least in my book.


Are you telling me that you'd rather walk 10 miles than drive that Beetle?

Should I retitle this thread?  I'm thinking I should.

I wouldn't be found shot dead in Toyota Pious.  Apart from that, I'd be willing to suffer any indignity so long as I could move faster than a cyclist.

The list of cars I'd actually prefer not to drive given an option is nearly endless.

Are you serious? I cannot picture a REAL person getting inside a car and pitching a fit, or crying because it's Supposadly "Bad".........I don't think I'd RATHER not drive anything. Then again, I haven't driven anything so I'm not picky.

[Eye of the Tiger]

A Prius, my dad's Sienna, and anything else with equivalent Toyota-ness. But, I'll drive almost anything and find something to like about it.
Teuton, Festivas are freaking awesome. Take that off of your list immediately.

What makes them so cool other than the SHOgun?

They can be pretty kickass little cars with some work.

But I'd still drive a stock one.

I'd list some cars but I'd probably insult some people on here.

[2o6]

Ferrari Enzo.


Yuck.


Mclaren F1.

Even worse.

[Raza]

I don't know.  I've driven a lot of cars that were no good, but before I drove them, it was just speculation.  I was even a passenger in a Beetle convertible once, for a short time. 

I don't really care.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Yugo!

[Laconian]

I would hate to drive an Ford Econoline or a Chevrolet Express. Horrible to drive, no big truck novelty, and lots of rapist stigma.

[ChrisV]

I've driven so many different kinds of cars, from nice stuff to serious roaches. I mean, I drove this for a day:



multiple shades of siver and primer, doors cut down, removable roof, tore up weathered interior...

And that pink Beetle convertible? Drop the top and cruise for chicks. They LOVE non-threatening cute cars. That's why I painted a few of my air cooled Bugs pink or lavender:

[Byteme]

I can't think of any car I wouldn't want to drive at least once.

I can, however, think of many that I wouldn't want to own and maintain.

You'd be missing out on some great times.

[93JC]

There are lots I wouldn't buy, but none I would absolutely refuse to drive.

I'd like to drive everything at least once, including every beater POS ever made (think Yugos, Ladas, Chinese shit). Just once, to see how 'bad' it is.

[NomisR]

I don't know if I'd be into the "great times" you're talking about..

[Tave]

I don't know if I'd be into the "great times" you're talking about..

Do you realize how many people you can fit in one of those? It's a moving party!

No offense Teuton, but this might be the worst Head to Head ever.

"What car would you prefer to not drive?"

Uhhhhhmmmmm........WHAT?

What is the point in confirming a negative? I'd prefer never to break my arm. I'd like to not go to jail. I'd love to not fall off the Empire State Building. I'd be thrilled if I never got bit by a shark. It'd make my day if I didn't sleep with a fat chick. It'd be tops if I didn't eat poisoned food. I could rest easy if I didn't go blind...

There's two:  Toyota Yaris and a Dodge Caliber.  I got pulled over for speeding in a Yaris 3 weeks ago and I got out of the ticket because when the cop asked me why I was speeding, I said "I hate this car.  I fucking hate it, and I can't wait to get out of it.  I hate it.  I hate it.  I hate it."

After he checked my license on his laptop he came back to me still chuckling and said, "Slow down, and have a safe day."

lol! I love it!

I think you guys really need to drive a car like the Datsun I posted above to get some perspective on even the worst newer cars. After cars like that, noting is hateable.

I worked for a contractor who used Ford Econolines.  His flagship vehicle was a 1 ton 15 passenger Club Wagon.  It was white with tinted windows all around, and rode on 16" chrome wheels (Cragar style) on 31" tires.  Had the 6.8L V10 as well.  That was a fun van!

I've driven some truly bad cars, but I haven't hated anything as much as the Caliber and Yaris.  None of those bad cars actually invoked hatred from me.
