Most Embarrassing Car to drive

Rare cars are always more interesting to me even if they are economy cars. I know a guy who has a Yugo in his collection and drove it on the Hot Rod Power Tour. He said everybody either loved it or hated it, but nobody ignored it. Back when Yugos were new cars, it would have been somewhat embarrassing to drive one, but today no one is going to assume its because that's all you could afford. They'll be more impressed that the cheapest car you could buy is still going after nearly 30 years.

I was given a 2001 Kia Spectra. Gets great MPG easy to repair and was absolutely mint when I got it. Needless to say people react completely different to my driving the Kia as opposed to my jag. They cut me off...look at me funny, give me dirty looks. People also dont care about smashing into it when parked, dinging the doors.etc. At first it really bothered me because even though a Kia I like to keep my cars in decent condition. I soon gave up. I cant say Im embarrassed to drive it because I just think to myself..Yeah I have two jags at home....Sucka@

"Tricked Out" Hummer Seen At My Local Post Office Today
I'm not a fan of Hummers in the first place, and I don't like any shade of Orange in the second place.
I'm sure there are Uglier cars out there, some of them even in this thread, but this one made me go back to the house for my camera! I've only seen such Ugliness on Youtube. It was truly Hideous!

I'm old fashioned, I like smaller rims and more rubber.
Even with a modern vehicle like the Hummer, it can't handle that style _ big rims and then rubber.
The only real gripe I have about the Hummer is the mileage and incredible waste of fuel it takes to run it.
What's it get, 20 gallons to the mile ???

A good friend of mine here in Texas has both a Robin and a Rialto, always popular at the local car shows. Its so funny that probably 7 out of 10 people make a comment about "Top Gear" rolling them over or launching one into space.

Pardon my ignorance but I am totally unfamiliar with a "LeMans" Trans-Am. The LeMans trim levels I know of were Tempest/LeMans/GTO and later Tempest/Grand Am. I know they used the name on a compact in the '90s but it was never paired with an F-Body (Firebird/Camaro). I will however use this opportunity to share a picture of the Trans-Am I recently scooped
