Worst Cars Ever Made

July 13th 2009 12:33
worst cars - ford edsel
Biggest Flop: 1958 Ford Edsel
Although this was actually a pretty decent vehicle, it failed because Ford hyped it as a super-powered car of the future, which it wasn't. Some automotive historians have speculated that it was the ugly-as-sin vertical grill that doomed the car because it turned off consumers.

Chevy Corvair - Terrible cars
Greatest Lemon: 1961 Corvair
Where should we start? The placement of the heavy engine behind the rear axle caused the car to spin out. In addition, the Corvair constantly leaked oil, its heating system occasionally filled the cabin with toxic fumes, and the steering column was a solid piece, which tended to skewer drivers in accidents. Way to go, Chevy! The ad above looks nice though!

Zunndapp Janus. Slowest car ever made
Slowest Car: 1958 Zunndapp Janus
Generally known for their automotive efficiency, the Germans managed to make one of the most sluggish cars ever, with a top speed of 50 mph. That may have been fine in the 1920s, but in the 1950s?

worst car ever made
Least Durable: 1975 Trabant
This East German "peoples' car" was made of Duraplast, a resin reinforced with cotton fibers. Who ever thought that cotton would make a good material for an automotive chassis? Well, you do what you have to when good old-fashioned steel is too expensive.

top 10 worst cars Renault Dauphine
Worst Acceleration: 1956 Renault Dauphine
This French classic, which was ironically going to be named the Corvette, took a whopping 32 seconds to reach 60 mph. By the time it got going, you could run out of gas!

Car Accident Notes

June 8th 2009 08:27
When you hit somebody else’s car, leaving a note with your details is the noble thing to do right? Well, apparently not everyone agrees!


Car Accident Note .
Hi, my name is Jack. I accidentally hit your car and someone saw me so I'm pretending to write down my details. Sorry, Jack


funny car accident notes

Dear person,
I'm sorry I put a dent in your car. I didn't want to, but I did when I tried to park next to you. I am not leaving my information because you chose to use two spaces and I just wanted to park in one. The scratches are because I used a towel that had sand on it to try to clean the dent/paint off. Beaches are fun.
Please look your car over for the dent and scratches and each time you see them, remember not to park in two spaces.
Sorry!!!

car windshield notes

Some lady hit your car trying to pull in next to you. I got out of my car & she took off. I jumped back in, tried to follow her to get her license plate # and she sped off quickly and left the parking lot.
Sorry, I tried to help you but I couldn’t get her plate # for you. (over)
She hit it pretty hard on the left back end! 5:25 PM Triad Parking Building March 24th 2009.


Hit your car. bad parking letter
By no fault of my own I bumped your car. I feel I am not responsible as your parking job was mediocre at best. Call me to work this out. The damage is minimal from what I can see but there is a scratch on my car that I’m sure you will pay for. Tony.

Groceries, handbags, wallets, purses and drinks. All these things and more have been left on the top of cars by people when they drive off. However, it's pretty rare to see this many things left on there at the same time!

Automated Car Parks

February 25th 2008 13:46
automatic car park

Automatic multi-storey car parks provide lower building cost per parking slot than conventional car parks as they require less building volume and less ground area.
However, the disadvantage is the cost of the mechanical equipment within the building that is needed to transport cars to the parking spaces. Other costs are usually lower too, for example there is no need for an energy intensive ventilating system, since cars are not driven inside and human cashiers or security personnel may not be needed
