Default Most Embarrassing Car to drive

For me it's a tie between the Prius and the Smart.

Any old sub-compact in a girly color. Like a purple Colt or old Accent.

Oh, I've got a good one. A 1990 VW Cabriolet in metallic purple/blue with a white vinyl interior and convertible top. My friend was driving one about a month ago he'd borrowed. Most effeminate/embarrassing car ever.

No, Prius isn't that bad, but a G-Whizz would be worse.

Not exactly embarassing, but my elderly disabled mother has one of those battery powered disabled scooter buggies.

She only uses it to tootle around the property.

In order to keep the brake discs clean and give the motor something to do, a couple of times per month I take it for a run down to the village bar a couple of miles away.

I am out in the sticks, so not much traffic.

When running this on the main roads at 10 mph, I am obliged to wear a day-glo jacket and have all the lights on.

The first few occasions I received all sorts of concerned sympathy.

Takes time, but quite pleasant really, I get to say hello to the cyclists as they overtake me.

Dekotora truck. Find one and you will see what I mean. You wouldn't catch me dead in one.

Hummer with a personality problem. This one offends both men and women. I could see driving this to crush Paris Hilton's pink Bentley though. Would make for an interesting Youtube video.

A pinto and a pacer? Yeah that's the ticket. The pacer is top 5 ugliest cars ever. Right there with the Matador and the Pontiac Aztec!

i dont get what all the hype is about those bugatti veyrons, if i paid that much money and had to drive a car that ugly i would be pretty embarrased. power doesn't mean sh** if your driving a hideous car and i think those things are butt ugly.

Honestly, I ain't as much keen as I used to on Veyton either . In flat out by 250 km/h ,it's the winner (Mclaren F1 is faster till 250 km/h ) but in curvy roads there're much better cars cornering for sure like Pagani Zonda F

I am afraid , super sport cars aren't meant to be like a cuddle woman or stunner . What they want in their point of view they wanna stun you in performance wise

Just for the note, Pagani is ugly too

I like the Bugatti's styling because it isn't the traditional outlandish super car formula with outrageously sharp and straight lines. Pagani's aren't quite my thing because they are too extreme.

Either way, I don't really want to own one (of either) because they aren't made for nice comfortable driving, unless you're traveling sideways.
