Please none of you can compete, 1984 GMC Vandura Conversion van. We drove that beast from florida ALLL the way up to new hampshire THIS summer. Shake apart at 70? yeah right, you couldnt get up to 70 going down a hill. It started to shake like a mofo at 55, and you couldnt push it much past that.

If it wasnt the slowest, it was at least the worst. The AC didnt work... the windows in the back didnt open... and we were in florida durin the hottest time of the year. Fun. Shag carpets, mildew smell, fugly, chipping paint job, ahh it had it all... ohhh the memories... that id like to forget

my old car was SUPER slow AND super fast! i had an 88 old's cutlass ciera (220hp V6... that baby ripped--when it worked.. heh heh ;) ). but cuz of late 80's crappy ass electronics, my engine would always spontaneously die on me and since my car was power-EVERYTHING, i'd lose acceleration, steering, and braking all at once! :wee: hahahhaha! i almost got wasted SO many times!!!

The slowest car in the world was my first one.
An 1981 Buick Century.It's nickname was "the flying brick".
It ran like shit,looked like shit,but was as comfortable as shit.
I tried to see what it would do the 0-60 in but before I hit 60 my watch battery died.Damn 2 year watch batteries...

That's a long story... but basicly, i had never met my grandfather, and had no desire to. But he heard that i was looking for a car and he though that stank-ass van would be perfect for us, so we flew down to florida to meet him, stayed for two days, took his van and booked it... well not really booked it, but we tried to at least. That beast ate up a quart of oil a day... ohh and then there was the blowout in phili, that was fun too. when i got home we sold the van and bought the pro the next week. All in all, it was the strangest experience of my life and i could go on for pages and pages explainin the whole thing, but i'll spare you

A 1978 Grove 50 ton mobile crane. That sucker topped out at 65 km/h and took about 2 kilometers to reach top speed. I had to have an escort vehicle on the highway because it was so slow! And talk about loud you had to wear earplugs and headphones to drown out the motor, the exhaust stack was right beside the drivers cabin.

This would have to be a ford festiva, my c ousins car was in the shop and we had to use this , so I popped the hood and looked under there and saw only 3 spark plug wires , I was looking for the 4th for a long damn time , till I realized it was a 3 cylinder
hahahha

Easy easy to decide... My mom's old car, a '92 Pontiac LeMans, that POS got me into an acciedent it was so slow getting from 0-20. Starting going up a hill from 0 was like going 10MPH up the hill flooring it.

The slowest car would have to be my protege, But I own a 83 Dodge Ramcharger and that Beast is the slowest thing I've drove. She is a horse in the snow and mud:wee: :wee: OH and would somebody give me a chain, So I can pull him and a few others around for a workout

'85 Cutlass Supreme
 
My first car... You could slam the gas pedal to the FLOOR and it would lurch for a full 30 seconds before it would actually pick it's big @ss up and get over 40 mph... I hated it, but I loved it, hey at least it was wheels, right? Broke down on me once going DOWNHILL... not touching the gas OR the brakes and it just STOPS. Hmmm... The ENTIRE rear end had locked up.. thank the Lloyd my father-in-law can fix cars lol

Sir Nuke April-14th-2002 07:33 PM

my 1965 VW Bug....when it still had its ORIGINAL 1200cc 40HP motor....drove it around for a while like that....TILL I built and installed the 135 HP 1776 cc firebreather......and in a 1700 pound car....well do the math..... :{D whipped more than my fair share of unsuspecting V-8's with her! :D

86 Volvo Red Huge Wagon

My GF's dad let me borrow it, it really seemed like there wuz some delay from the time I pressed on the pedal and the time it moved.
