Meh, I don't have a real "horror" story, but I did own a P.O.S. 1988 Ford Escort EXP. It was one of the "flaming fords" and did have scorch marks on the underside of the hood (alternator blew up and melted). Seemed to attract flats like a magnet. Motor mounts broke leaving the engine sort of hanging/propped in the compartment. Had to replace the computer. Air conditioning blew up. Headlight switch failed, but I could keep them "on" by driving with the level pulled all the way back. This was supposed to momentarily flash the brights, but if you held it they would stay on, and the light covers were so foggy and crappy that the "brights" were anything but. So I drove it one-handed at night. Power steering fluid poured out. Finally got rid of it and 6 months after it was sold to someone *else* who didn't have any money- it blew a gasket. Wasn't worth fixing and I'm sure died a quick and unremarkable death.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. God what a pile of crap, man do I love my new Honda. Work sucks- but havin' money don't.
