The WORST----my first car----a 1976 Triumph TR7 (remember the wedge?). I was 17. I spent all I had to buy it, and all I earned the next year fixing it. One day, while waiting for a tow, i was looking at the steering wheel thinking---"TRIUMPH: To Ride It U Must Push Hard".
The Best------my second,a used 1976 Chevy Nova. In 1985, after about 180K, I got a Camaro, I parked it in a buddys yard and forgot about it. In 1988, 3 years later, my new bride needed a station car. We charged the battery, changed the fluids and put 4 cheap tires on it. It ran without a single problem for 5 more years and about 40,000 miles. I then gave it to the neighbors kid. When I moved away in 1998 he was still using it, and never needed anything but routine maintenence. You couldn't kill that baby!
