Most embarrassing car?
I brought you the most boring car on the road thread now it's time for the most embarrassing. Which cars on the road wouldn't you be caught dead in? For me it would have to be the Azteck, Element, ANY minivan and the Beetle. Too fruity for a guy to drive and I don't know how some can do it.

On one occasion I became the designated driver of a Yugo. We managed to pile up 8 people into it. I could barely change gears (A girl was sitting on top of the shifter). The cops thought it was amusing. On another occasion I had to drive an Omni from a party. In this case everyone was wasted.
:D

the MOST embarrassing to drive?? that's easy...
a rusted out, sh*t brown K-Car wagon that's spouting blue+white smoke (oil AND coolant problems ahahaha...), barely able to idle, broken tail lights, cracked up windsheild, and billowing plastic over the hatch rear window
tell me that's not the worst thing you could drive, just try :p

As for the most embarrassing car I have ever driven it has to be my grandfather's car. When I turned 16 this was the only thing I was able to drive since I didn't have my own car. He owned probably an 80s model Oldsmobile (forget which model) and it was green like an olive. In fact, my family used to call it 'the olive' because of the color. But the most embarrassing thing aside from the color was that my grandfather put this kinda sticker on the dash that had a pic of 'ol Jesus on it and said "Member of the Jesus League" or something equally ridiculous. Now THAT is embarrassing!

I was just joking about that. I remember the Swift but have never heard of the Samurai. When was that made around?

The Aztek is definitely the ugliest car out there. Did this get discontinued yet?
Speaking of older, embarrassing cars, what about the VW Thing? Couldn't you like drive it in the ocean?!

Aztec....
The Aztec is ugly, but at least they gave it a tent to hide its shame.....
There is no harm in designing a 'radical' car like an Aztec or Element.....but there is a special level of Hades reserved for the guy who 'designs' the new Camry - what a bland, low-risk, marketing driven,non effort that is!
