antman's favorite is jaguar....NOT!!!!

I had one that was a nightmare. After a series of repair problems... One time something needed adjustment internal to the engine and I said "go ahead". So I get a new head gasket. Well an almost whole head gasket. <s> A mile down the road, oil which was pouring out of the engine started smoking..then flaming. (It became known as the "Flaming Jaguar"). Had to find a fire extinguisher. The mechanic fixed it no problem. But the next time out on the road all the hoses gave way because apparently the heat had somewhat melted them. So the car overheated...my temper did, too.

That was the last straw for the Flaming Jaguar.
