The Ford Pinto Is Legendarily Bad
Consider yourself lucky if you’re too young to remember the Ford Pinto—a car infamous for being one of the worst ever made. Marketed as the future of compact cars, the Pinto initially seemed promising, offering decent performance and solid fuel economy. However, it quickly earned a notorious reputation for a far more troubling reason: it had a tendency to explode. This is not an exaggeration. The Pinto became infamous for bursting into flames when rear-ended due to a design flaw in its fuel system. Rather than addressing the issue, Ford chose to prioritize cost over safety, opting to pay settlements to victims rather than fix the defect. Ultimately, the Pinto’s disastrous legacy forced Ford to end its production, cementing its place in automotive infamy.

The Morgan Plus 8 Ran On Propane
The Morgan Plus 8, crafted by British manufacturer Morgan, is often credited with saving the company. However, the car wasn’t without its quirks. In the United States, it was modified to run on propane to meet strict emissions regulations at the time. The result? A noticeably sluggish performance, where driving at 30 miles per hour felt more like pushing the car to its limits at 60.
