Owning a car is a memory many drivers will never forget. We all remember our first car, our best car, and of course, the worst car we’ve ever owned. Maybe it was a lemon or just a car that spent more time in the shop than on the road. Maybe you were unfortunate and got a car recalled for a deadly safety issue. Whatever the case, there are just some cars that are downright horrible to own.
So we decided to chronicle several real drivers who revealed the most brutal stories about the worst cars they ever owned. Looking at how bad these vehicles were might make you feel a little better about yours. You might think your car is a bad ride or a lemon, but some drivers have had it much worse. You never know when a car forces you to be stuck on the side of the road, and these drivers experienced the worst of these situations. Enjoy the stories of their worst-ever cars below.

50: Sea Foam Green Chevy Monte Carlo
The third generation of the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was slightly different than the previous two models. With the fuel embargo that was going on at the time, the car had to be more fuel-efficient than before. The car was still quite large, and as this Twitter user illustrated, there was a lot of room between the steering wheel and the driver’s seat. This was back during a time when cars were a lot larger than the vehicles we have today. The Monte Carlo will long be the pinnacle of GM during this decade, but it wasn’t always great for drivers (via Twitter).
