I think I'm going to win.

1992 Plymouth Voyager -

At 66k, the automatic transmission went. ($2k)
At 75k, the heater wouldn't pump through the floor vents. ($300)
At 80k, all the stock speakers blew within a month of each other. ($100)
At 85k, the fifth cylinder began to constantly misfire ($2k)
At 90k, the automatic transmission went. ($2k)
At 100k, the both front rotar calipers ceased working - while I was on the highway. ($900)
At 110k, the automatic transmission went. (under warranty)
At 130k, the water pump died. ($2.5k)
At 135k, the automatic transmission went. ($2k)
At 140k, the front driver's side seat broke a rod. The seat back would not stay up (so I was driving without a backrest). ($100)
At 160k, the power steering went. ($1k)
At 165k, the automatic transmission went. (under warranty)
At 180k, the automatic transmission went. (we junked the van)

No lie - 6 transmissions over the course of 12 years. I'd have gotten rid of it, but it was my parents' car, and my dad just kept pouring money into it. Idiot.
